What strength do I have to keep on living? Why go on living when I have no hope?

My days pass by without hope, pass faster than a weaver's shuttle.

When you pray, he will answer you, and you will keep the vows you made.

God brings down the proud and saves the humble.

Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God.

Wicked people bring about their own downfall by their evil deeds, but good people are protected by their integrity.

We also boast of our troubles, because we know that trouble produces endurance,

This hope does not disappoint us, for God has poured out his love into our hearts by means of the Holy Spirit, who is God's gift to us.

God's plan is to make known his secret to his people, this rich and glorious secret which he has for all peoples. And the secret is that Christ is in you, which means that you will share in the glory of God.

Your crops will be so plentiful that you will still be harvesting grain when it is time to pick grapes, and you will still be picking grapes when it is time to plant grain. You will have all that you want to eat, and you can live in safety in your land.

"I will give you peace in your land, and you can sleep without being afraid of anyone. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in the land, and there will be no more war there.

I lie down and sleep, and all night long the LORD protects me.

When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace; you alone, O LORD, keep me perfectly safe.

You will not be afraid when you go to bed, and you will sleep soundly through the night.

The LORD will keep you safe. He will not let you fall into a trap.
