Isaiah 49; 1 Timothy 2

Hallelujah, you, Father, are my savior. You are my redeemer. You are the mighty one. In your grace, you saved me with your salvation.

In your own council, you chose me, and I found favor with you. You keep me and give me a covenant to guarantee your promises. You give me an inheritance with you forever, kept in heaven for me.

You called me out of darkness. You said, “appear”, and I turned toward you, born again by your Holy Spirit.

You provide food for me all along the way. Even in bare hard times, you give my soul and body pasture. I do not hunger or thirst. Neither does scorching wind or sun strike me.

Your Holy Spirit loves me and cares for me. He leads me to springs of water. He guides me through problems and makes them smooth out like a highway.

I sing for joy to you and of you, Father. I exalt you with every breath. I break forth in singing. You comfort me and pour compassion on me. You always think of me, and you never forsake me.

I live a quiet and peaceful life, in all godliness and reverence.
