2 "There is no one holy like the Lord,

There is no one besides You,

There is no Rock like our God.

22 Therefore You are great, O Lord God; for there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

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.

8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

Nor are your ways My ways," declares the Lord.

16 We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him.

19 We love, because *He first loved us.

20 If anyone says, "I love God," and hates (works against) his [Christian] brother he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

12 No one has seen God at any time. But if we love one another [with unselfish concern], God abides in us, and His love [the love that is His essence abides in us and] is completed and perfected in us.

17 "The Lord your God is in your midst,

A Warrior who saves.

He will rejoice over you with joy;

He will be quiet in His love [making no mention of your past sins],

He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.

29 But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.

8 O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good;

How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who takes refuge in Him. [1 Pet 2:2, 3]

2 I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord;

I have no good besides You."

25 Whom have I in heaven [but You]?

And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.

3 When I am afraid,

I will put my trust and faith in You.

3 Yes, You are my rock and my fortress;

For Your name’s sake You will lead me and guide me.

35 "For whoever finds me (Wisdom) finds life

And obtains favor and grace from the Lord.

9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed (intimidated), for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

13 I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]

4 Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, take pleasure in Him]; again I will say, rejoice! [Ps 37:4]

1 "Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord]; for your light has come,

And the glory and brilliance of the Lord has risen upon you. [Zech 8:23]

13 "For I the Lord your God keep hold of your right hand; [I am the Lord],

Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’

10 Humble yourselves [with an attitude of repentance and insignificance] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up, He will give you purpose].

7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap.

12 "Honor (respect, obey, care for) your father and your mother, so that your days may be prolonged in the land the Lord your God gives you.
