Psalms 36:7

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”

He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

We love him, because he first loved us.

For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.

I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Yahweh, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.

No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.

Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.

and refused to obey. They weren’t mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and didn’t forsake them.

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

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.

“Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”

You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

Yahweh is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.

Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.

How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!

He prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Please, Yahweh, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.

Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.

Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.

But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:

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.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.

Then Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

For if you turn again to Yahweh, your brothers and your children will find compassion before those who led them captive, and will come again into this land, because Yahweh your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.”

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.

I will tell of the decree: Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

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

Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.

It is because of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn’t fail.

I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.

May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”

Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, ‘Return, you backsliding Israel,’ says Yahweh; ‘I will not look in anger on you; for I am merciful,’ says Yahweh. ‘I will not keep anger forever.

Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,

He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh; but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord Yahweh!

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is their sum!

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, “Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

Answer me, Yahweh, for your loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me.

For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.

But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;

For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

The eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.
