- Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior. - The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights. - See, the enemy is puffed up;
his desires are not upright—
but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness.
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
