Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;

[T]hose who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

When hard pressed, I cried to the LORD; he brought me into a spacious place.

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.

Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

[W]ho spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever.

[Y]et for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
