24 And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer, and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
17 The LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a Mighty One who will save; He will rejoice over thee with joy, He will be silent in His love, He will joy over thee with singing.'
1 O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.
2 So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.
3 For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee.
4 So will I bless Thee as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands.
5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;
6 When I remember Thee upon my couch, and meditate on Thee in the night-watches.
7 For Thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.
8 My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.
10 They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
1 BOOK II As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God.
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: 'When shall I come and appear before God?'
1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye for water, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your gain for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a prince and commander to the peoples.
5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and a nation that knew not thee shall run unto thee; because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for He hath glorified thee.
6 Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near;
3 Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and will tell thee great things, and hidden, which thou knowest not.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
