Yes, my soul, find rest in God;    my hope comes from him.Truly he is my rock and my salvation;    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.My salvation and my honor depend on God;    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.Trust in him at all times, you people;    pour out your hearts to him,    for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:5-8

Praise the Lord, my soul;    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.Praise the Lord, my soul,    and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins    and heals all your diseases,who redeems your life from the pit    and crowns you with love and compassion,who satisfies your desires with good things    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103:1-5

Above all else, guard your heart,    for everything you do flows from it.Keep your mouth free of perversity;    keep corrupt talk far from your lips.Let your eyes look straight ahead;    fix your gaze directly before you.Give careful thought to the paths for your feet    and be steadfast in all your ways.Do not turn to the right or the left;    keep your foot from evil.

Do not fret because of those who are evil     or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither,     like green plants they will soon die away. Trust in the Lord and do good;     dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord,     and he will give you the desires of your heart.
