LORD,
there is no one like you!
For you are great,
and your name is full of power.
Who would not fear you,
O King of nations?
That title belongs to you alone!
Among all the wise people of the earth
and in all the kingdoms of the world,
there is no one like you.
This is what the LORD says:
“Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom,
or the powerful boast in their power,
or the rich boast in their riches.
But those who wish to boast
should boast in this alone:
that they truly know me
and understand that I am the LORD
who demonstrates unfailing love
and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth,
and that I delight in these things.
I,
the LORD,
have spoken!”
“Stop at the crossroads and look around.
Ask for the old,
godly way,
and walk in it.
Travel its path,
and you will find rest for your souls…”
“I knew you
before I formed you in your mother’s womb…
…you must go wherever I send you
and say whatever I tell you.
And don’t be afraid of the people,
for I will be with you and will protect you…
…Look,
I have put my words in your mouth!”
The LORD has sent this message to every land:
“Tell the people of Israel,
‘Look,
your Savior is coming.
See,
he brings his reward with him as he comes,’”
They will be called
“The Holy People”
and “The People Redeemed by the LORD.”
And Jerusalem will be known as
“The Desirable Place”
and
“The City No Longer Forsaken.”
O Jerusalem,
I have posted watchmen on your walls;
they will pray day and night,
continually.
Take no rest,
all you who pray to the LORD.
Then Jesus said to the disciples,
“Have faith in God.
I tell you the truth,
you can say to this mountain,
‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’
and it will happen.
But you must really believe it will happen
and have no doubt in your heart.”
I will answer them before they even call to me.
While they are still talking about their needs,
I will go ahead and answer their prayers!
Oh,
that you would burst from the heavens and come down!
How the mountains would quake in your presence!
When you came down long ago,
you did awesome deeds beyond our highest expectations.
And oh,
how the mountains quaked!
For since the world began,
no ear has heard
and no eye has seen a God like you,
who works for those who wait for him!
