seek his face continually. - For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
If you seek me, you will survive. - O Lord, you have examined me

you perceive my thoughts from a distance. - For the Son of Man has come to seek out and to save what was lost.

as you claim he is. - But without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever comes to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
- One who finds a wife finds happiness
and receives favor from the Lord. - In much the same manner
will wisdom be sweet to your soul.

because I have sought your commands. - My soul thirsts for God, the living God.

all you humble of the land
who obey his commands.

then perhaps you may find shelter
on the day of the Lord’s anger.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts:
he is the King of glory. Selah Is anyone among you sick? He should send for the presbyters of the Church so that they may pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.Next verse!With image
