Psalms 63:3

You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,

He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.

We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

May God be merciful to us, bless us, and cause his face to shine on us.

Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.

who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

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.

After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.

In that day you will say, “I will give thanks to you, Yahweh; for though you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you comfort me.

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

I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says Yahweh; “and I will heal them.”

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain,

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.

Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.

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

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, and bless his name.

Accept, I beg you, the willing offerings of my mouth. Yahweh, teach me your ordinances.

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

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

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.

Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

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

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
