Thematic Bible




For ever, O Lord, your word is fixed in heaven. Your faith is unchanging from generation to generation: you have put the earth in its place, and it is not moved. They are ruled this day by your decisions; for all things are your servants. read more.
If your law had not been my delight, my troubles would have put an end to me. I will ever keep your orders in mind; for in them I have life. I am yours, O be my saviour; for my desire has been for your rules. The sinners have been waiting for me to give me up to destruction; but I will give all my mind to your unchanging ward. I have seen that nothing on earth is complete; but your teaching is very wide. O what love I have for your law! I give thought to it all the day. Your teaching has made me wiser than my haters: for it is mine for ever. I have more knowledge than all my teachers, because I give thought to your unchanging word. I have more wisdom than the old, because I have kept your orders. I have kept back my feet from all evil ways, so that I might be true to your word. My heart has not been turned away from your decisions; for you have been my teacher. How sweet are your sayings to my taste! truly, they are sweeter than honey in my mouth! Through your orders I get wisdom; for this reason I am a hater of every false way.
