Psalm 27:11-14

New International Version

¹¹Teach me your way,^(A) Lord;
    lead me in a straight path^(B)
    because of my oppressors.^(C)
¹²Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
    for false witnesses^(D) rise up against me,
    spouting malicious accusations.

¹³I remain confident of this:
    I will see the goodness of the Lord^(E)
    in the land of the living.^(F)
¹⁴Wait^(G) for the Lord;
    be strong^(H) and take heart
    and wait for the Lord.

Philippians 2:12-18

New International Version

Do Everything Without Grumbling

¹²Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,^(A) ¹³for it is God who works in you^(B) to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.^(C)

¹⁴Do everything without grumbling^(D) or arguing, ¹⁵so that you may become blameless^(E) and pure, “children of God^(F) without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”^[a]^(G) Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky ¹⁶as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ^(H) that I did not run^(I) or labor in vain.^(J) ¹⁷But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering^(K) on the sacrifice^(L) and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.^(M) ¹⁸So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
