…I am the LORD your God,
who stirs up the sea, causing its waves to roar.
My name is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
And I have put my words in your mouth
and hidden you safely in my hand.
I stretched out the sky like a canopy
and laid the foundations of the earth…
Commit everything you do to the LORD.
Trust him, and he will help you.
Be still in the presence of the LORD,
and wait patiently for him to act.
…this is the way to have eternal life—
to know you, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ,
the one you sent to earth.
I am trusting you, O LORD,
saying, “You are my God!”
My future is in your hands…
You are my God
and I will praise you.
You are my God
and I will exalt you.
The LORD is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble?
The one thing I ask of the LORD—
the thing I seek most—
is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
delighting in the LORD’s perfections
and meditating in his Temple.
Hear me as I pray, O LORD.
Be merciful and answer me!
My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”
And my heart responds, “LORD, I am coming.”
…I come to your altar, O LORD,
singing a song of thanksgiving
and tell of all your wonders.
I love your sanctuary, LORD,
the place where your glorious presence dwells.
Now I stand on solid ground,
and I will publicly praise the LORD.
When I am raised to life again,
you will know
that I am in my Father,
and you are in me,
and I am in you.
…I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another Advocate,
who will never leave you.
He is the Holy Spirit,
who leads into all truth.
The world cannot receive him,
because it isn’t looking for him
and doesn’t recognize him.
But you know him,
because he lives with you now
and later will be in you.
The LORD’s promises are pure,
like silver refined in a furnace,
purified seven times over.
Only fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
…
Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, O LORD,
do not abandon those who search for you.
