I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!
I cry to you, O Lord; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.
We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you.
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!
For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation
I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. I believed, even when I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”; I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.”
Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.
Man does not know its worth, and it is not found in the land of the living.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter. I did not know it was against me they devised schemes, saying, “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name be remembered no more.”
then I will make you go down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you to dwell in the world below, among ruins from of old, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set beauty in the land of the living.
The living, the living, he thanks you, as I do this day; the father makes known to the children your faithfulness.
to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be lighted with the light of life.
I said, I shall not see the Lord, the Lord in the land of the living; I shall look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.
But God will break you down forever; he will snatch and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
