Aniversário

24 This is the day the  Lord has made;

let’s rejoice and be glad in it.  *

Israel’s Unfaithfulness to God

1 Hallelujah!

Give thanks to the  Lord, for he is good;

his faithful love endures forever.  *

2 My soul, bless the  Lord,

and do not forget all his benefits.  *

God’s Love and Faithfulness

1 It is good to give thanks to the  Lord,

to sing praise to your name, Most High,  *

2 to declare your faithful love in the morning

and your faithfulness at night,  *

5 For his anger lasts only a moment,

but his favor, a lifetime.

Weeping may stay overnight,

but there is joy in the morning.  *

2 Dear friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and are in good health,  * just as your whole life is going well.  *

13 For it was you who created my inward parts;  *

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  *

14 I will praise you

because I have been remarkably and wondrously made.  *,*

Your works are wondrous,

and I know this very well.  *

15 My bones were not hidden from you

when I was made in secret,

when I was formed in the depths of the earth.  *

16 Your eyes saw me when I was formless;

all my days were written in your book and planned

before a single one of them began.  *

17 God, how precious  * your thoughts are to me;

how vast their sum is!

13 For it was you who created my inward parts;  *

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  *

14 I will praise you

because I have been remarkably and wondrously made.  *,*

Your works are wondrous,

and I know this very well.  *

15 My bones were not hidden from you

when I was made in secret,

when I was formed in the depths of the earth.  *

16 Your eyes saw me when I was formless;

all my days were written in your book and planned

before a single one of them began.  *

6 I have leaned on you from birth;

you took me from my mother’s womb.  *

My praise is always about you.  *

10 I was given over to you at birth;  *

you have been my God from my mother’s womb.  *

9 It was you who brought me out of the womb,

making me secure at my mother’s breast.  *

10 I was given over to you at birth;  *

you have been my God from my mother’s womb.  *

Thanksgiving

4 I always thank  * my God for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus,

24 "May the Lord bless you and protect you;  *

25 may the Lord make his face shine on you

and be gracious to you;  *

26 may the Lord look with favor on you  *

and give you peace." ’  *

7 You are absolutely beautiful,  * my darling;

there is no imperfection in you.

25 Strength  * and honor are her clothing,  *

and she can laugh at the time to come.  *

26 Her mouth speaks wisdom,

and loving instruction  * is on her tongue.

30 Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,  *

but a woman who fears the  Lord will be praised.

31 Gray hair is a glorious crown;  *

it is found in the ways of righteousness.  *

Thanksgiving and Prayer

3 I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you,  *

12 Teach us to number our days carefully

so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.  *,*

4 "Lord, make me aware of my end

and the number of my days

so that I will know how short-lived I am.  *

5 In fact, you have made my days just inches long,

and my life span is as nothing to you.

Yes, every human being stands as only a vapor.  *Selah

11 You reveal the path of life to me;

in your presence is abundant joy;  *

at your right hand are eternal pleasures.  *

7 You have put more joy in my heart

than they have when their grain and new wine abound.  *

4 I have asked one thing from the  Lord;

it is what I desire:

to dwell in the house of the  Lord

all the days of my life,  *

gazing on the beauty of the  Lord*

and seeking him in his temple.  *

6 Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me

all the days of my life,  *

and I will dwell in  *  the house of the  Lord

as long as I live.  *,*

A King’s Prayer

1 Blessed be the Lord, my rock  *

who trains my hands for battle

and my fingers for warfare.  *

2 He is my faithful love and my fortress,

my stronghold and my deliverer.

He is my shield,  * and I take refuge in him;  *

he subdues my people  * under me.  *

6 Now I know that the  Lord gives victory to his anointed;  *

he will answer him from his holy heaven

with mighty victories from his right hand.  *

7 Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses,

but we take pride in the name of the  Lord our God.  *

8 They collapse and fall,

but we rise and stand firm.  *

3 I am the Lord, who watches over it

to water it regularly.

So that no one disturbs it,

I watch over it night and day.

4 For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you  * against your enemies to give you victory.’

3 But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.  *

A Ministry of Life or Death

14 But thanks be to God,  * who always leads us in Christ’s triumphal procession and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place.  *

7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill what he has spoken to her! "
