where there is no water.

Come to the Waters 

Behold, God is my salvation;

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Each will be like a hiding place from the wind,

Psalm 63

Psalm 63

My Soul Thirsts for You

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

1

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;

    my soul thirsts for you;

my flesh faints for you,

    as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

2 

So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,

    beholding your power and glory.

3 

Because your steadfast love is better than life,

    my lips will praise you.

4 

So I will bless you as long as I live;

    in your name I will lift up my hands.

5 

My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,

    and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,

6 

when I remember you upon my bed,

    and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

7 

for you have been my help,

    and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

8 

My soul clings to you;

    your right hand upholds me.

9 

But those who seek to destroy my life

    shall go down into the depths of the earth;

10 

they shall be given over to the power of the sword;

    they shall be a portion for jackals.

11 

But the king shall rejoice in God;

    all who swear by him shall exult,

    for the mouths of liars will be stopped.

Psalms 61 and 62

Psalm 61 

Lead Me to the Rock

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Of David.

1 

Hear my cry, O God,

    listen to my prayer;

2 

from the end of the earth I call to you

    when my heart is faint.

Lead me to the rock

    that is higher than I,

3 

for you have been my refuge,

    a strong tower against the enemy.

4 

Let me dwell in your tent forever!

    Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah

5 

For you, O God, have heard my vows;

    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 

Prolong the life of the king;

    may his years endure to all generations!

7 

May he be enthroned forever before God;

    appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!

8 

So will I ever sing praises to your name,

    as I perform my vows day after day.

Psalm 62

My Soul Waits for God Alone

To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1

For God alone my soul waits in silence;

    from him comes my salvation.

2 

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

    my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.

3 

How long will all of you attack a man

    to batter him,

    like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

4 

They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.

    They take pleasure in falsehood.

They bless with their mouths,

    but inwardly they curse. 

Selah

5 

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,

    for my hope is from him.

6 

He only is my rock and my salvation,

    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

7 

On God rests my salvation and my glory;

    my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

8 

Trust in him at all times, O people;

    pour out your heart before him;

    God is a refuge for us. 

Selah

9 

Those of low estate are but a breath;

    those of high estate are a delusion;

in the balances they go up;

    they are together lighter than a breath.

10 

Put no trust in extortion;

    set no vain hopes on robbery;

    if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

11 

Once God has spoken;

    twice have I heard this:

that power belongs to God,

12 

    and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.

For you will render to a man

    according to his work.

A Letter to the HEBREWS Chapter6

The Letter to the HEBREWS

Chapter Six

1 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 

3 And this we will do if God permits. 

4 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 

5 and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 

6 and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.

7 For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. 

8 But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.

9 Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. 

10 For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do. 

11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, 

12 so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

The Certainty of God's Promise

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, 

14 saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” 

15 And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. 

16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation. 

17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, 

18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. 

19 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, 

20 where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

A Letter to the HEBREWS Chapter5

The Letter to the HEBREWS

 Chapter Five 

1 For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 

2 He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. 

3 Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as he does for those of the people. 

4 And no one takes this honour for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.

5 So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,

“You are my Son, 

        today I have begotten you”;

6 as he says also in another place,

“You are a priest forever,

       after the order of Melchizedek.”

7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 

8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. 

9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 

10 being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Warning Against Falling Away

11 About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 

12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, 13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. 

14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

  

A Letter to the HEBREWS Chapter4

The Letter to the HEBREWS

 Chapter Four

1 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. 

2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. 

3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said,

“As I swore in my wrath,

‘They shall not enter my rest,’”

although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. 

4 For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” 

5 And again in this passage he said,

“They shall not enter my rest.”

6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,

“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. 

9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.

11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. 

12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 

13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Jesus the Great High Priest

14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 

15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathise with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 

16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

A Letter to the HEBREWS Chapter3

The Letter to the HEBREWS - Chapter Three

Jesus Greater Than Moses

1 Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honour than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.

A Rest for the People of God

7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, 

“Today, if you hear his voice,

8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,

9 where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years.

10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation,

and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;  they have not known my ways.’

11 As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”

12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today”, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said,

“Today, if you hear his voice,

do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

16 For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
