><>...I will praise the LORD no matter what happens!...><> Psalm 34 34 I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of his glories and grace. 2I will boast of all his kindness to me. Let all who are discouraged take heart. 3Let us praise the Lord together and exalt his name. 4For I cried to him and he answered me! He freed me from all my fears. 5Others too were radiant at what he did for them. Theirs was no downcast look of rejection! 6This poor man cried to the Lord?and the Lord heard him and saved him out of his troubles. 7For the Angel of the Lord guards and rescues all who reverence him. 8Oh, put God to the test and see how kind he is! See for yourself the way his mercies shower down on all who trust in him. 9If you belong to the Lord, reverence him; for everyone who does this has everything he needs. 10Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those of us who reverence the Lord will never lack any good thing. 11Sons and daughters, come and listen and let me teach you the importance of trusting and fearing the Lord. 12Do you want a long, good life? 13Then watch your tongue! Keep your lips from lying. 14Turn from all known sin and spend your time in doing good. Try to live in peace with everyone; work hard at it. 15For the eyes of the Lord are intently watching all who live good lives, and he gives attention when they cry to him. 16But the Lord has made up his mind to wipe out even the memory of evil men from the earth. 17Yes, the Lord hears the good man when he calls to him for help and saves him out of all his troubles. 18The Lord is close to those whose hearts are breaking; he rescues those who are humbly sorry for their sins. 19The good man does not escape all troubles?he has them too. But the Lord helps him in each and every one. 20Not one of his bones is broken. 21Calamity will surely overtake the wicked; heavy penalties are meted out to those who hate the good. 22But as for those who serve the Lord, he will redeem them; everyone who takes refuge in him will be freely pardoned. Thank you Father for you most blessed word

†... Lord Who?...† Ps.15 1.Lord, who may go and find refuge and shelter in your tabernacle up on your holy hill? 2.Anyone who leads a blameless life and is truly sincere. 3.Anyone who refuses to slander others, does not listen to gossip, never harms his neighbor, 4.speaks out against sin, criticizes those committing it, commends the faithful followers of the Lord,, keeps a promise even if it ruins him, 5.does not crush his debtors with high interest rates, and refuses to testify against the innocent despite the bribes offered him—such a man shall stand firm forever.

Worship only him among the gods! 5.For the gods of other nations are merely idols, but our God made the heavens! 6.Honor and majesty surround him; strength and beauty are in his Temple. 7.O nations of the world, confess that God alone is glorious and strong. 8.Give him the glory he deserves!

†...Listen to this, all you people!...† Pay attention, everyone in the world! 2 High and low, rich and poor—listen! 3 For my words are wise, and my thoughts are filled with insight. 4 I listen carefully to many proverbs and solve riddles with inspiration from a harp. 5 There is no need to fear when times of trouble come, when enemies are surrounding me. 6 They trust in their wealth and boast of great riches. 7 Yet they cannot redeem themselves from death by paying a ransom to God. 8 Redemption does not come so easily, for no one can ever pay enough 9 to live forever and never see the grave. 10 Those who are wise must finally die, just like the foolish and senseless, leaving all their wealth behind. 11 The grave is their eternal home, where they will stay forever. They may name their estates after themselves, but they leave their wealth to others. 12 They will not last long despite their riches— they will die like the animals. 13 This is the fate of fools, though they will be remembered as being so wise. Interlude 14 Like sheep, they are led to the grave, where death will be their shepherd. In the morning the godly will rule over them. Their bodies will rot in the grave, far from their grand estates. 15 But as for me, God will redeem my life. He will snatch me from the power of death. Interlude 16 So don't be dismayed when the wicked grow rich, and their homes become ever more splendid. 17 For when they die, they carry nothing with them. Their wealth will not follow them into the grave. 18 In this life they consider themselves fortunate, and the world loudly applauds their success. 19 But they will die like all others before them and never again see the light of day. 20 People who boast of their wealth don't understand that they will die like the animals. Ps. 49 Thank you Father for your most blessed word..†
