3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.

4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.

2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

1 Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation.

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

22 Therefore You are great, O Lord God. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

11 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
