The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: You are He that restores my inheritance to me.

You have made known to me the ways of life; You will fill me with joy with Your countenance: at Your right hand [there are] delights forever.

But I shall appear in righteousness before Your face: I shall be satisfied when Your glory appears.

Delight [yourself] in the Lord, and He shall grant you the desires of your heart.

And I will go in to the altar of God, to God who gladdens my youth; I will give thanks to You on the harp, O God, my God.

For Your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise You.

For who in the heavens shall be compared to the Lord? And who shall be likened to the Lord among the sons of God?

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

More than that I also consider all things to be loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have sustained the loss of all things, and I consider them to be rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them.

But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, also the Lamb.

The city had no need of the sun nor of the moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

For the end, [A Psalm] of instruction, for the sons of Korah. As the deer earnestly desires the fountains of water, so my soul earnestly longs for You, O God.

My soul has thirsted for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God?

Let my meditation be sweet to Him, and I will rejoice in the Lord.

I spread forth my hands to You; my soul [thirsts] for You, as a dry land. Pause.

Cause me to hear Your mercy in the morning; for I have hoped in You; make known to me, O Lord, the way in which I should walk; for I have lifted up my soul to You.

For the way of the Lord is judgment; we have hoped in Your name, and on the remembrance [of You],

which our soul longs for; my spirit seeks You very early in the morning, O God, for Your commandments are a light on the earth; learn righteousness, you that dwell upon the earth.

For though the fig tree shall bear no fruit, and there shall be no produce on the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall produce no food: the sheep have failed from the pasture, and there are no oxen at the cribs;

yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in God my Savior.

He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

More than that I also consider all things to be loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have sustained the loss of all things, and I consider them to be rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ
