Be good to your servant while I live, that I may obey your word.
Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.
Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live; do not let my hopes be dashed.
Deal with your servant according to your love and teach me your decrees.
Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name.
Your statutes are always righteous; give me understanding that I may live.
Let me live that I may praise you, and may your laws sustain me.
Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart—
Do good to your servant according to your word, Lord.
Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight.
I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.
Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.
