A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. 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 thirsty land, where no water is;

My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Kaph My soul faints for your salvation: but I hope in your word.

My eyes fail for your word, saying, When will you comfort me?

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will defend my own ways before him.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed me.

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

In the day when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul.

He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength.

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

Heth You are my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep your words.

I cried unto you, O LORD: I said, you are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

The LORD is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
