⁵ I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.

¹⁸ If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.

¹⁶ Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.

¹ <A Psalm. Of David.> The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

² He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

³ He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.

³ May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.

¹¹ But I will not say anything about my needs, for I am able, wherever I am, to be dependent on myself.

¹³ For I, the Lord your God, have taken your right hand in mine, saying to you, Have no fear; I will be your helper.

⁵ Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support.

⁶ In all your ways give ear to him, and he will make straight your footsteps.

⁷ Put no high value on your wisdom: let the fear of the Lord be before you, and keep yourself from evil:

⁸ I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.

⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.

³ For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them.

¹ <Michtam. Of David.> Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.

³⁴ Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.

¹⁴ But who am I and what is my people, that we have power to give so freely in this way? for all things come from you, and what we have given you is yours.

²¹ A man's heart may be full of designs, but the purpose of the Lord is unchanging.

⁹ A man may make designs for his way, but the Lord is the guide of his steps.

⁸ So that those who are in the flesh are not able to give pleasure to God.

²⁶ My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage.

²² The blessing of the Lord gives wealth: hard work makes it no greater.

¹ <A Song of the going up. Of Solomon.> If the Lord is not helping the builders, then the building of a house is to no purpose: if the Lord does not keep the town, the watchman keeps his watch for nothing.

¹⁹ Take us back, O Lord God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

⁴ For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,

⁵ So we, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another;

⁶ And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;

²⁹ He gives power to the feeble, increasing the strength of him who has no force.

¹ <A Song of the going up.> My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from?

² Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

³ May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.
