Ephesians 5:21-25

New International Version

Instructions for Christian Households^(A)

²¹Submit to one another^(B) out of reverence for Christ.

²²Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands^(C) as you do to the Lord.^(D) ²³For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church,^(E) his body, of which he is the Savior. ²⁴Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands^(F) in everything.

²⁵Husbands, love your wives,^(G) just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her^(H)

A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

¹You, God, are my God,

I thirst for you,^(A)

in a dry and parched land
    where there is no water.^(B)

²I have seen you in the sanctuary^(C)
    and beheld your power and your glory.^(D)
³Because your love is better than life,^(E)
    my lips will glorify you.
⁴I will praise you as long as I live,^(F)
    and in your name I will lift up my hands.^(G)
⁵I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;^(H)
    with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

⁶On my bed I remember you;
    I think of you through the watches of the night.^(I)
⁷Because you are my help,^(J)
    I sing in the shadow of your wings.^(K)
⁸I cling to you;^(L)
    your right hand upholds me.^(M)
