Ephesians 5:19

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;

Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Yahweh.

I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.

You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.

What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.

You have planted them. Yes, they have taken root. They grow. Yes, they produce fruit. You are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.

They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.

Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;

Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

Serve Yahweh with gladness. Come before his presence with singing.

Praise Yah! I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

Praise Yah, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.

Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock.

But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.

As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:

Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!

Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

He will call to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation!’

At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, because of your righteous ordinances.

There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.

My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.

Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.

For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to Yahweh with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yahweh, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Yahweh.

For God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.

I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.

Oh come, let’s sing to Yahweh. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,

All these were under the hands of their father for song in Yahweh’s house, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of God’s house: Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.

They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women and the children also rejoiced; so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even far away.

Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.
