Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
May peace be within your walls,
And tranquility within your palaces.”
For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will now say, “May peace be within you.”
For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,
I will seek your good.

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from Yahweh,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to stumble;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will not slumber and will not sleep.

Yahweh is your keeper;
Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.
The sun will not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
Yahweh will keep you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.
Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in
From now until forever.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live sensibly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good works.
These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

But when the kindness and affection of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not by works which we did in righteousness, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying. And concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be intent to lead in good works. These things are good and profitable for men. But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and conflicts about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.

May Your lovingkindnesses also come to me, O Yahweh,
Your salvation according to Your word;
So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me,
For I trust in Your word.
And do not take away the word of truth utterly from my mouth,
For I wait for Your judgments.
So I will keep Your law continually,
Forever and ever.
And I will walk in a wide place,
For I seek Your precepts.
I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings
And I shall not be ashamed.
I shall delight in Your commandments,
Which I love.
And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments,
Which I love;
And I will muse on Your statutes.

Give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

From my distress I called upon Yah;
Yah answered me and set me in a large place.
Yahweh is for me; I will not fear;
What can man do to me?
•••

It is better to take refuge in Yahweh
Than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in Yahweh
Than to trust in nobles.

The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone.
This is from Yahweh;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day which Yahweh has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
•••

You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
You are my God, I exalt You.
Give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

This is the day which Yahweh has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Praise Yahweh, all nations;
Laud Him, all peoples!
For His lovingkindness prevails over us,
And the truth of Yahweh is everlasting.
Praise Yah!

Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous;
And our God is compassionate.
Yahweh keeps the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.
Return to your rest, O my soul,
For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. But avoid godless and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their word will spread like gangrene.

I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. Hold to the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.

All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be equipped, having been thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Praise Yah!
Praise, O slaves of Yahweh,
Praise the name of Yahweh.
May the name of Yahweh be blessed
From now until forever.
From the rising of the sun to its setting
The name of Yahweh is to be praised.
Yahweh is high above all nations;
His glory is above the heavens.

Who is like Yahweh our God,
The One who sits on high,
The One who brings Himself low to see
The things in heaven and on the earth?
Who raises the poor from the dust
And lifts high the needy from the ash heap,
To make them sit with nobles,
With the nobles of His people.
He makes the barren woman of the house sit
As a glad mother of children.
Praise Yah!
