Where there is no
vision the people perish. |
The Lord your God is with
you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet
you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. |
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be
dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will
uphold you with my righteous right hand. |
Yet the Lord longs
to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a
God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! |
The Lord is gracious
and
compassionate, slow to anger and rich in
love. |
But those who hope in the Lord will renew
their strength. They will
soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will
walk and not be faint. |
The Lord is my light
and my salvation - whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life
- of whom shall I be afraid? |
Blessed is he who
has regard for the weak; the Lord delivers him in times of trouble. The Lord
will protect him and preserve his life. |
Commit to the Lord whatever you
do, and your plans will succeed. |
Create in me a pure
heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from
your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of
your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. |
Show me your ways, O Lord, teach
me
your paths; guide me in your
truth and teach me, for you are
God my Savior, and my hope is in
you all day long. |
Restrain your voice
from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,
declares the Lord. |
Your love, O Lord,
reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness
is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. |
Blessed is
the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in
the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. |
The Lord is my rock, my fortress
and my deliverer; my God is my
rock, in whom I take refuge. He
is my shield and the horn of my
salvation, my stronghold. |
Stand at the
crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good
way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. |
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path. |
Call to me and I
will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. |
Trust in the Lord
with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways
acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. |
