Psalm 13

English Standard Version

How Long, O Lord?

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

13 ^(A)How long, O Lord? Will you ^(B)forget me forever?
How long will you ^(C)hide your face from me?
²How long must I take ^(D)counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

³^(E)Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
^(F)light up my eyes, lest ^(G)I sleep the sleep of death,
⁴^(H)lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
lest my foes rejoice because I am ^(I)shaken.

⁵But I have ^(J)trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall ^(K)rejoice in your salvation.
⁶I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Micah 7:18-20

English Standard Version

God's Steadfast Love and Compassion

¹⁸^(A)Who is a God like you, ^(B)pardoning iniquity
    and passing over transgression
    ^(C)for the remnant of his inheritance?
^(D)He does not retain his anger forever,
    because he delights in steadfast love.
¹⁹He will ^(E)again have compassion on us;
    ^(F)he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
^(G)You will cast all our^[a] sins
    into the depths of the sea.
²⁰^(H)You will show faithfulness to Jacob
    and steadfast love to Abraham,
^(I)as you have sworn to our fathers
    from the days of old.

Galatians 5:2-6

English Standard Version

²Look: I, Paul, say to you that ^(A)if you accept circumcision, ^(B)Christ will be of no advantage to you. ³I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that ^(C)he is obligated to keep the whole law. ⁴You are ^(D)severed from Christ, ^(E)you who would be justified^[a] by the law; ^(F)you have fallen away from grace. ⁵For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly ^(G)wait for the hope of righteousness. ⁶For in Christ Jesus ^(H)neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but ^(I)only faith working through love.
