My flesh and my heart fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
On the day I called, You answered me, and made me bold with strength of soul.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
My soul longs and even yearns for the courtyards of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
I cried out to You, O Lord; I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”
Wait on the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait on the Lord.
knowing that soon I will take off this body, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me.
For to me, to continue living is Christ, and to die is gain.
You are my portion, O Lord; I have promised to keep Your words.
For innumerable evils have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head; therefore my heart fails me.
Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him, but I will defend my own ways before Him.
He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.
