“Remember now, O Lord, I beseech You, how I have walked before You in truth and with a whole heart and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

Thy confidence

“Though He slay me,
I will hope in Him.
Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.

For the Lord will be your confidence
And will keep your foot from being caught.

In the

fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,

And his children will have refuge.

Thy hope

Where now is my hope?
And who regards my hope?

Therefore,

prepare your minds for action,

keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The uprightness

The Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil.”

Although there is no violence in my hands,
And my prayer is pure.

“My foot has held fast to His path;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.

“Far be it from me that I should declare you right;
Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

Because I delivered the poor who cried for help,
And the orphan who had no helper.
