You, LORD, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands.

I praise the LORD, because he guides me, and in the night my conscience warns me.

And so I am thankful and glad, and I feel completely secure,

You will show me the path that leads to life; your presence fills me with joy and brings me pleasure forever.

"Praise him, you servants of the LORD! Honor him, you descendants of Jacob! Worship him, you people of Israel!

In the full assembly I will praise you for what you have done; in the presence of those who worship you I will offer the sacrifices I promised.

I will proclaim your greatness, my God and king; I will thank you forever and ever.

Every day I will thank you; I will praise you forever and ever.

Instead, it was a better country they longed for, the heavenly country. And so God is not ashamed for them to call him their God, because he has prepared a city for them.

The living Father sent me, and because of him I live also. In the same way whoever eats me will live because of me.

We do not live for ourselves only, and we do not die for ourselves only.

For Christ died and rose to life in order to be the Lord of the living and of the dead.

How can God's temple come to terms with pagan idols? For we are the temple of the living God! As God himself has said, "I will make my home with my people and live among them; I will be their God, and they shall be my people."

For even though it was in weakness that he was put to death on the cross, it is by God's power that he lives. In union with him we also are weak; but in our relations with you we shall share God's power in his life.
