“LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.

Remind me that my days are numbered—

how fleeting my life is.“

…For I am your guest—

a traveler passing through,

as my ancestors were before me.

Psalm 39:4, 12

The instructions of the LORD are perfect,

reviving the soul.

The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy,

making wise the simple.

The commandments of the LORD are right,

bringing joy to the heart.

The commands of the LORD are clear,

giving insight for living.

Psalm 19:7-8

Then Jesus said to them,

“A little while longer the light is with you.

Walk while you have the light,

lest darkness overtake you;

he who walks in darkness

does not know where he is going.

“While you have the light,

believe in the light,

that you may become sons of light…”

John 12:35-36

May God be gracious to us and bless us

and make his face shine upon us,

that your ways may be known on earth,

your salvation among all nations.

Psalm 67:1-2

Come and see what our God has done,

what awesome miracles he performs for people!

He made a dry path through the Red Sea,

and his people went across on foot.

There we rejoiced in him. 

Psalm 66:5-6

You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds,

O God our savior.

You are the hope of everyone on earth,

even those who sail on distant seas.

Psalm 65:5-6

A single day in your courts

is better than a thousand anywhere else!

I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God

than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.

Psalm 84:10

The LORD is my shepherd;

I have all that I need.

He lets me rest in green meadows;

he leads me beside peaceful streams.

He renews my strength.

He guides me along right paths,

bringing honor to his name.

Even when I walk

through the darkest valley,

I will not be afraid,

for you are close beside me.

Your rod and your staff

protect and comfort me.

You prepare a feast for me

in the presence of my enemies.

You honor me by anointing my head with oil.

My cup overflows with blessings.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me

all the days of my life,

and I will live in the house of the LORD

forever.

Psalm 23

“The foundations of law and order have collapsed.

What can the righteous do?”

But the LORD is in his holy Temple;

the LORD still rules from heaven.

He watches everyone closely,

examining every person on earth.

Psalm 11:3-4

“When the foundations are being destroyed,

what can the righteous do?”

The LORD is in his holy temple,

the LORD is on his heavenly throne.
