Lent Scripture // 2 & 3
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.2 O my God, in you I trust;let me not be put to shame;let not my enemies exult over me.3 Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame;they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
4 Make me to know your ways, O Lord;teach me your paths.5 Lead me in your truth and teach me,for you are the God of my salvation;for you I wait all the day long.
6 Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,for they have been from of old.7 Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;according to your steadfast love remember me,for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!
8 Good and upright is the Lord;therefore he instructs sinners in the way.9 He leads the humble in what is right,and teaches the humble his way.10 All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;I will praise you in the very center of the congregation!23 All of you who revere the Lord—praise him!All of you who are Jacob’s descendants—honor him!All of you who are all Israel’s offspring—stand in awe of him!24 Because he didn’t despise or detestthe suffering of the one who suffered—he didn’t hide his face from me.No, he listened when I cried out to him for help.
25 I offer praise in the great congregationbecause of you;I will fulfill my promisesin the presence of those who honor God.26 Let all those who are suffering eat and be full!Let all who seek the Lord praise him!I pray your hearts live forever!27 Every part of the earthwill remember and come back to the Lord;every family among all the nations will worship you.28 Because the right to rule belongs to the Lord,he rules all nations.29 Indeed, all the earth’s powerfulwill worship him;[a]all who are descending to the dustwill kneel before him;my being also lives for him.[b]30 Future descendants will serve him;generations to come will be told about my Lord.31 They will proclaim God’s righteousnessto those not yet born,telling them what God has done.
