²⁶ My flesh and my heart fails, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

¹³ For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb.

¹⁴ I will give thanks to you, For I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

¹⁵ My frame wasn't hidden from you, When I was made in secret, Woven together in the depths of the earth.

¹⁶ Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there were none of them.

¹⁷ How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!

¹⁰ Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many.

³ He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

⁴ Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths.

⁸ He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.

¹⁵ He said to them, "Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man's life doesn't consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."

³⁶ For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.

²⁵ Therefore, I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

²⁶ See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they?

²⁷ "Which of you, by being anxious, can add one cubit to the measure of his life?

²⁸ Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin,

³⁸ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."

¹⁰ For, "He who would love life, And see good days, Let him keep his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.

¹¹ Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

¹² For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And his ears open to their prayer; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

⁶ Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in Yahweh's house forever.

¹⁴ Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

²⁷ The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, Turning people from the snares of death.

³¹ Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness.

¹² So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

⁶ Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

¹⁰ The days of our years are seventy, Or even by reason of strength eighty years; Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, For it passes quickly, and we fly away.

³ This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

⁷ Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

⁸ Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, From this time forth, and forevermore.

²³ Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it is the wellspring of life.

¹¹ and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we charged you;

¹² that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

¹³ But we don't want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

³⁵ Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

³³ I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

⁴ "Yahweh, show me my end, What is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

⁵ Behold, you have made my days handbreadths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath." Selah.

⁶ "Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn't know who shall gather.

⁷ Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.

² Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

⁷ for we walk by faith, not by sight.

⁷ Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don't fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

²¹ He who follows after righteousness and kindness Finds life, righteousness, and honor.

¹² Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

¹⁷ He is in the way of life who heeds correction, But he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.

²³ And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

²⁴ knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

²⁵ But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

³ For you are my rock and my fortress, Therefore for your name's sake lead me and guide me.

⁴ One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after, That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, To see Yahweh's beauty, And to inquire in his temple.

⁹³ I will never forget your precepts, For with them, you have revived me.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he die, yet will he live.

²⁶ Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

²⁷ She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God's Son, he who comes into the world."

¹⁰ The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

¹ For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:

³⁴ He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, "Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

³⁵ For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the Gospel's will save it.

³⁶ For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

³⁷ For what will a man give in exchange for his life?

³⁸ For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

⁶ Let everything that has breath praise Yah! Praise Yah!

⁹ For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.

¹⁵ Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

¹⁷ Therefore don't be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

¹⁹ As water reflects a face, So a man's heart reflects the man.

¹² Who is someone who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?

¹³ Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking lies.

¹⁴ Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.

¹⁵ Yahweh's eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.
