Keep me alive, so I can praise you, and let me find help in your teachings.
Treat me with kindness, LORD, so that I may live and do what you say.
Your decisions are correct, and you were right to punish me.
“What good will it do you if I am in the grave? Once I have turned to dust, how can I praise you or tell how loyal you are?
Only the living can thank you, as I am doing today. Each generation tells the next about your faithfulness.
Pay close attention! Come to me and live. I will promise you the eternal love and loyalty that I promised David.
We know that God is always at work for the good of everyone who loves him. They are the ones God has chosen for his purpose,
These little troubles are getting us ready for an eternal glory that will make all our troubles seem like nothing.
