“Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
    for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go,
    for to you I lift up my soul” (Psalm 143:8, ESV).

“Let this be recorded for a generation to come,
    so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD:
that he looked down from his holy height;
    from heaven the LORD looked at the earth,
to hear the groans of the prisoners,
    to set free those who were doomed to die,
that they may declare in Zion the name of the LORD,
    and in Jerusalem his praise,
when peoples gather together,
    and kingdoms, to worship the LORD …

Of old you laid the foundation of the earth,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you will remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
but you are the same, and your years have no end.
The children of your servants shall dwell secure;
    their offspring shall be established before you.”(Psalm 102:18-22, 25-28, ESV).

“Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen” (Hebrews 13:20-21, ESV).
