Psalms 104:27

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

But you, brothers, don’t be weary in doing what is right.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.

For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.

Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.

then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;

that I will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.

You say also, ‘Behold, what a weariness it is!’ and you have sniffed at it”, says Yahweh of Armies; “and you have brought that which was taken by violence, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering. Should I accept this at your hand?” says Yahweh.

that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

But he who endures to the end will be saved.

Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season.

In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, “Don’t be afraid, Zion. Don’t let your hands be weak.”

See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?

Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!

Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”

To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.

Whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.

Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you?

Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

For Yahweh is good. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations.

who gives food to every creature; for his loving kindness endures forever.

He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.

if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.

You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”

You are Yahweh, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.

If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?

For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.

Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?

How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.

He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth:

Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

‘You said, “Woe is me now! For Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain! I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.” ’

Yes, the animals of the field pant to you, for the water brooks have dried up, And the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?”

“I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.

He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it for the oxen that God cares,

And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

I, even I, will bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.
