Psalms 35:28

“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.

‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’

Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress.

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

I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’ ”

Why have you despised Yahweh’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

“But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God,

In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

You who fear Yahweh, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, he saves them out of their distresses.

Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;

It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Yahweh, I cry to you, For the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field.

I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.

My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.

My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.

In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.

While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue; for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”

For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol.

Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

Yahweh, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.

Sing to Yahweh! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day!

For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.

You hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?

But I will deliver you in that day,” says Yahweh; “and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.

I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”

Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.

While he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Yahweh, saying,

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

Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

Deliver me from all my transgressions. Don’t make me the reproach of the foolish.

Lord, open my lips. My mouth will declare your praise.

I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.

Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you.

In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.

Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.

Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh’s name! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,

Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

Every day I will praise you. I will extol your name forever and ever.

I will meditate on the glorious majesty of your honor, on your wondrous works.

for often your own heart knows that you yourself have likewise cursed others.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.

Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;

giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.

I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.

I will bless Yahweh at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.

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

I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.

My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

But you, Yahweh, are on high forever more.

Yahweh has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

They will utter the memory of your great goodness, and will sing of your righteousness.

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.”

Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.

If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
