22 It is because of the Lord’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed,

Because His [tender] compassions never fail. [Mal 3:6]

23 They are new every morning;

Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness. [Is 33:2]

18 The Lord is near to all who call on Him,

To all who call on Him in truth (without guile).

8 The Lord will accomplish that which concerns me;

Your [unwavering] lovingkindness, O Lord, endures forever—

Do not abandon the works of Your own hands. [Ps 57:2; Phil 1:6]

17 But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him,

And His righteousness to children’s children, [Deut 10:12]

18 To those who honor and keep His covenant,

And remember to do His commandments [imprinting His word on their hearts].

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],

On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness,

28 For the Lord delights in justice

And does not abandon His saints (faithful ones);

They are preserved forever,

But the descendants of the wicked will [in time] be cut off.

3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you [setting you on a firm foundation] and will protect and guard you from the evil one.

13 No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy].

9 Therefore know [without any doubt] and understand that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who is keeping His covenant and His [steadfast] lovingkindness to a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;

8 It is the Lord who goes before you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or abandon you. Do not fear or be dismayed."

17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow *cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].

34 O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;

For His lovingkindness endures forever.

5 For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our sins, sending them away, completely letting them go forever and ever];

And abundant in lovingkindness and overflowing in mercy to all those who call upon You.

9 For He satisfies the parched throat,

And fills the hungry appetite with what is good.

16 But as for me, I will sing of Your mighty strength and power;

Yes, I will sing joyfully of Your lovingkindness in the morning;

For You have been my stronghold

And a refuge in the day of my distress.

22 Cast your burden on the Lord [release it] and He will sustain and uphold you;

He will never allow the righteous to be shaken (slip, fall, fail). [1 Pet 5:7]

3 He will not allow your foot to slip;

He who keeps you will not slumber. [1 Sam 2:9; Ps 127:1; Prov 3:23, 26; Is 27:3]

8 "I am the *Alpha and the Omega [the Beginning and the End]," says the Lord God, "Who is [existing forever] and Who was [continually existing in the past] and Who is to come, the Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all]." [Is 9:6]

19 But You, O Lord, reign forever;

Your throne endures from generation to [all] generations.

1 O Lord, You are my God;

I will exalt You, I will praise and give thanks to Your name;

For You have done miraculous things,

Plans formed long, long ago, [fulfilled] with perfect faithfulness.

22 That which is desirable in a man is his loyalty and unfailing love,

But it is better to be a poor man than a [wealthy] liar.

13 He who goes about as a gossip reveals secrets,

But he who is trustworthy and faithful keeps a matter hidden.

3 The integrity and moral courage of the upright will guide them,

But the crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them.

21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little, I will put you in charge of many things; share in the joy of your master.’

24 Until now you have not asked [the Father] for anything in My name; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be full and complete.
