they will never be hungry or thirsty. Sun and desert heat will not hurt them, for they will be led by one who loves them. He will lead them to springs of water.

He leads the humble in the right way and teaches them his will.

The LORD says, "I will teach you the way you should go; I will instruct you and advise you.

"This God is our God forever and ever; he will lead us for all time to come."

You guide me with your instruction and at the end you will receive me with honor.

When, however, the Spirit comes, who reveals the truth about God, he will lead you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own authority, but he will speak of what he hears and will tell you of things to come.

May our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus prepare the way for us to come to you!

Then you will be safe; you will be as secure as if in a strong fortress. You will have food to eat and water to drink.

when famine comes, he will keep you alive, and in war protect you from death.

He saves them from death; he keeps them alive in times of famine.

Honor the LORD, all his people; those who obey him have all they need.

Even lions go hungry for lack of food, but those who obey the LORD lack nothing good.

They will not suffer when times are bad; they will have enough in time of famine.

He is like a tree growing near a stream and sending out roots to the water. It is not afraid when hot weather comes, because its leaves stay green; it has no worries when there is no rain; it keeps on bearing fruit.

I took care of you in a dry, desert land.

that still bear fruit in old age and are always green and strong.

If you do, it will be like good medicine, healing your wounds and easing your pains.

Be generous, and you will be prosperous. Help others, and you will be helped.

No matter how much a lazy person may want something, he will never get it. A hard worker will get everything he wants.

Selfishness only causes trouble. You are much better off to trust the LORD.

As surely as seeds sprout and grow, The Sovereign LORD will save his people, And all the nations will praise him.

Fountains water the garden, streams of flowing water, brooks gushing down from the Lebanon Mountains.

They will come and sing for joy on Mount Zion and be delighted with my gifts--- gifts of grain and wine and olive oil, gifts of sheep and cattle. They will be like a well-watered garden; they will have everything they need.

Everyone will talk about how this land, which was once a wilderness, has become like the Garden of Eden, and how the cities which were torn down, looted, and left in ruins, are now inhabited and fortified.

But you, my friends, you deceive me like streams that go dry when no rain comes.

but in the heat they disappear, and the stream beds lie bare and dry.
