Let my soul live and praise you, and let your rules help me.
Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.
The living, the living, he thanks you, as I do this day; the father makes known to the children your faithfulness.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,[7] for those who are called according to his purpose.
"What profit is there in my death,[4] if I go down to the pit?[5] Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?
For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
I know, O LORD, that your rules are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word.
