Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

{ [A Psalm] of David. } The LORD [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

   

Psalms 121

The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

{A Psalm of David.} The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

17

4

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

18

5

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

19

6

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

   

Psalms 23

     

20

13

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

21

14

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

   

Philippians 3

     

22

4

For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall.

   

Isaiah 25

     

23

13

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

   

Philippians 4

     

24

17

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither [shall] fruit [be] in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and [there shall be] no herd in the stalls:

25

18

Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

   

Habakkuk 3

     

26

25

For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he shall stand at the latter [day] upon the earth:

27

26

And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I see God:

   

Job 19

     

28

7

Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

29

8

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD [shall be] a light unto me.

30

9

I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, [and] I shall behold his righteousness.

   

Micah 7

     

31

1

O LORD, thou [art] my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful [things; thy] counsels of old [are] faithfulness [and] truth.

   

Isaiah 25

     

32

1

I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications.

33

2

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon [him] as long as I live.

   

Psalms 116

     

34

1

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

35

2

And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

36

3

And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

37

4

Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

38

5

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

39

6

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

40

7

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

41

8

Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away.

42

9

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

43

10

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

44

11

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

45

12

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

46

13

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.
