Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.
so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”
In the Lord all the offspring of Israel shall be justified and shall glory.”
My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad.
“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
I did not speak in secret, in a land of darkness; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I the Lord speak the truth; I declare what is right.
And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
