Psalms 16:2

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

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.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’ and they will say, ‘My God!’ ”

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

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

Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.

Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.

I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

But now Yahweh who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel, says: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.

“I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back; for I have mercy on them; and they will be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Yahweh their God, and I will hear them.

I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens is mine.

You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.”

and Yahweh will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters don’t fail.

He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”

Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob.

He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.

Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.

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

Therefore Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, I will melt them and test them; for how should I deal with the daughter of my people?

Therefore behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it will become a desolate heap, and her daughters will be burned with fire: then Israel will possess those who possessed him,” says Yahweh.

Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all.

But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.

You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!

God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.

I will weep and wail for the mountains, and lament for the pastures of the wilderness, because they are burned up, so that no one passes through; Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock. Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled. They are gone.

You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

This I recall to my mind; therefore I have hope.

that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

Some of those who are wise will fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed.

It will happen that whoever will call on Yahweh’s name shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as Yahweh has said, and among the remnant, those whom Yahweh calls.

I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.

and I will bring them, and they will dwell within Jerusalem; and they will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.”

I will pour on David’s house, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?

But I trust in you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my God.”

For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.

One will say, ‘I am Yahweh’s;’ and another will be called by the name of Jacob; and another will write with his hand ‘to Yahweh,’ and honor the name of Israel.”

My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart! My heart trembles within me. I can’t hold my peace, because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”

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.

I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.

“Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
