Psalms 16:7-9, 11

5 'The Lord is the portion of my inheritance, my cup [He is all I need]; You support my lot.' 7 'I will bless the Lord who has counseled me; Indeed, my heart (mind) instructs me in the night. 8 I have set the Lord continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my innermost self] rejoices; My body too will dwell [confidently] in safety, 11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.'


Psalms 19: 7-9, 14

'The law of the L ord is perfect (flawless), restoring and refreshing the soul; The statutes of the L ord are reliable and trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the L ord are right, bringing joy to the heart; The commandment of the L ord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the L ord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the L ord are true, they are righteous altogether. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable and pleasing in Your sight, O L ord , my [firm, immovable] rock and my Redeemer.'
