Lord, you have been our dwelling place
throughout all generations.
Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
Lord, you have been our dwelling place
throughout all generations.
Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, O LORD,
do not abandon those who search for you.
You go before me and follow me,
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God
They cannot be numbered!
I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
I know the greatness of the LORD—
that our Lord is greater than any other god.
The LORD does whatever pleases him
throughout all heaven and earth,
and on the seas and in their depths.
He causes the clouds to rise over the whole earth.
He sends the lightning with the rain
and releases the wind from his storehouses.
Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion;
they will not be defeated but will endure forever.
Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever.
The LORD keeps you from all harm
and watches over your life.
The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever.
Your word, O LORD, is eternal;
it stands firm in the heavens.
How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Now you have every spiritual gift you need
as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He will keep you strong to the end
so that you will be free from all blame
on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns.
God will do this,
for he is faithful to do what he says,
and he has invited you into partnership with his Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord.

…you know how late it is;
time is running out.
Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now
than when we first believed.
The night is almost gone;
the day of salvation will soon be here.
So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes,
and put on the shining armor of right living.
