I have asked the LORD for one thing; one thing only do I want: to live in the LORD's house all my life, to marvel there at his goodness, and to ask for his guidance.

God shines from Zion, the city perfect in its beauty.

Bring us back, O God! Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!

Bring us back, Almighty God! Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!

On the day you fight your enemies, your people will volunteer. Like the dew of early morning your young men will come to you on the sacred hills.

All of us, then, reflect the glory of the Lord with uncovered faces; and that same glory, coming from the Lord, who is the Spirit, transforms us into his likeness in an ever greater degree of glory.

My dear friends, we are now God's children, but it is not yet clear what we shall become. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is.

Show your power, O God, the power you have used on our behalf

Save us, LORD, save us! Give us success, O LORD!

You will succeed in all you do, and light will shine on your path.

Ask the LORD to bless your plans, and you will be successful in carrying them out.

You will give us prosperity, LORD; everything that we achieve is the result of what you do.

The one who plants and the one who waters really do not matter. It is God who matters, because he makes the plant grow.

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and in his grace gave us unfailing courage and a firm hope,

encourage you and strengthen you to always do and say what is good.

Finally, our friends, pray for us that the Lord's message may continue to spread rapidly and be received with honor, just as it was among you.
