I stay close to you, and your powerful arm supports me.
Don't be afraid. I am with you. Don't tremble with fear. I am your God. I will make you strong, as I protect you with my arm and give you victories.
You alone are my shield. Your right hand supports me, and by coming to help me, you have made me famous.
But I never really left you, and you hold my right hand.
Put your left hand under my head and embrace me with your right arm.
The LORD will hold your hand, and if you stumble, you still won't fall.
Here is my servant! I have made him strong. He is my chosen one; I am pleased with him. I have given him my Spirit, and he will bring justice to the nations.
When I felt my feet slipping, you came with your love and kept me steady.
In heaven I have only you, and on this earth you are all I want.
You have helped me because I am innocent, and you will always be close to my side.
That's why I work so hard and use the mighty power he gives me.
From the time of John the Baptist until now, violent people have been trying to take over the kingdom of heaven by force.
Throughout the night, my heart searches for you, because your decisions show everyone on this earth how to live right.
Do all you can to go in by the narrow door! A lot of people will try to get in, but will not be able to.
So I searched through the town for the one I love. I looked in every street, but he wasn't there.
