I wait for the Lord; I wait and put my hope in his word. Put your hope in the Lord. For there is faithful love with the Lord. Put your hope in the Lord, both now and forever. We are all in the presence of God to hear everything you have been commanded.
The man who fears the Lord will be blessed. May the Lord bless you from Zion. “May the Lord’s blessing be on you. We bless you in the name of the Lord.” If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted as a curse to him.
Our mouths were filled with laughter then, and our tongues with shouts of joy. The Lord has done great things. We were joyful. Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy. He will surely come back with shouts of joy.
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion. It cannot be shaken; it remains forever. So those who were scattered went on their way preaching the word. After they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they traveled back to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages.
Our eyes are on the Lord our God until he shows us favor. We’ve had more than enough scorn. In his own eyes, a slacker is wiser than seven who can answer sensibly. severe persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout the land of Judea and Samaria. Saul was ravaging the church.
A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let’s go to the house of the Lord.” A song of ascents. I lift my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from?
Then the high priest rose up. He and all who were with him, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. The chief priests heard, were baffled, wondering what would come of this. So the word of God spread, the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly in number, and a large group of priests became obedient to the faith.
Give me life as you promised. Lord; give me life according to your judgments. With great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on all of them.
You killed the source of life, whom God raised from the dead; we are witnesses of this. God raised up his servant and sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your evil ways.
He jumped up and started to walk, and he entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. All the people saw him walking and praising God. So they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him.
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them. Since he has been exalted to the right hand of God and has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, he has poured out what you both see and hear.
I love your instruction. You are my shelter and my shield; I put my hope in your word.
Sustain me so that I can be safe and always be concerned about God’s commands. Jesus commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father’s promise. “…you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit in a few days.”
Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said to him, “you know that I love you.” “Feed my lambs,” he told him.
Lord, your word is forever…The disciple, the one Jesus loved, said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” This was now the third time Jesus appeared, to the disciples after he was raised.
I put my hope in your word. Don’t be faithless, but believe. Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.
At that, Peter and the other disciple went out, heading for the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first.
Lord, the earth is filled with your faithful love; teach me your statutes. Lord, you have treated your servant well, just as you promised.
He who saw this has testified so that you also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows he is telling the truth. For these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
Let your faithful love come to me, Lord, your salvation, as you promised. Then I can answer the one who taunts me, for I trust in your word.
Don’t move an ancient boundary marker that your ancestors set up.
When he had said these things, one of the officials standing by slapped Jesus, saying, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” “If I have spoken wrongly,” Jesus answered him, “give evidence about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit me?”
Open my eyes so that I may contemplate wondrous things from your instruction. I am a resident alien on earth; do not hide your commands from me.
Drive out a mocker, and conflict goes too; then quarreling and dishonor will cease. The one who loves a pure heart and gracious lips—the king is his friend.
I will praise you with an upright heart when I learn your righteous judgments. I will keep your statutes; never abandon me.
A good name is to be chosen over great wealth; favor is better than silver and gold. Rich and poor have this in common: the Lord makes them all.
The sacrifice of a wicked person is detestable—how much more so when he brings it with ulterior motives! A lying witness will perish, but the one who listens will speak successfully.
…Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me…The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit…My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be my disciples…
