The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2   He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Gray hair is a crown of splendor;
    it is attained in the way of righteousness.

Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.

The Lord your God is with you,
    the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
    in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
    but will rejoice over you with singing.”

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.

You are my refuge and my shield;
    I have put my hope in your word.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

 

 

Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
    but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

Trust in the Lord forever,
    for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.

The LORD has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

You are my refuge and my shield;
    I have put my hope in your word.

Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.

Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
