Intimidade com Deus

1 Ye that thirst, go to the water, and all that have no money, go and buy; and eat and drink wine and fat without money or price. 2 Wherefore do ye value at the price of money, and give your labor for that which will not satisfy? hearken to me, and ye shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.

3 Give heed with your ears, and follow my ways: hearken to me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David. 4 Behold, I have made him a testimony among the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles. 5 Nations which know thee not, shall call upon thee, and peoples which are not acquainted with thee, shall flee to thee for refuge, for the sake of the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified thee.

6 Seek ye the Lord, and when ye find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw nigh to you,

24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will hearken to them; while they are yet speaking, I will say, What is it?

3 Peradventure they will hear, and turn every one from his evil way: then I will cease from the evils which I purpose to do to them, because of their evil practices.

1 A Psalm of David.

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation:

Deliver me from the unjust and crafty man.

2 For thou, O God, art my strength: wherefore hast thou cast me off?

And why do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses me?

1 For the end, a Psalm of David.

2 Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to thee;

Deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

3 Thou hast sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly;

From the multitude of them that work iniquity;

4 Who have sharpened their tongues as a sword;

They have bent their bow maliciously;

5 To shoot in secret at the blameless;

They will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

6 They have set up for themselves an evil matter,

They have given counsel to hide snares;

They have said, Who shall see them?

7 They have searched out iniquity;

They have wearied themselves with searching diligently,

A man shall approach and the heart is deep,

8 And God shall be exalted,

Their wounds were caused by the weapon of the foolish children,

9 And their tongues have set him at nought,

All that saw them were troubled;

10 And every man was alarmed,

And they related the works of God,

And understood his deeds.

11 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him,

And all the upright in heart shall be praised.

17 The Lord thy God is in thee; the Mighty One shall save thee: he shall bring joy upon thee, and shall refresh thee with his love; and he shall rejoice over thee with delight as in a day of feasting.
