Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
Version
Psalm 145:8-9

8 The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and great in faithful love.(A)
9 The Lord is good to everyone;(B)
His compassion rests on all He has made.(C)

Psalm 145:14-21

14 The Lord helps all who fall;
He raises up all who are oppressed.[a](A)
15 All eyes look to You,
and You give them their food at the proper time.(B)
16 You open Your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.(C)

17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways
and gracious in all His acts.(D)
18 The Lord is near all who call out to Him,
all who call out to Him with integrity.(E)
19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him;
He hears their cry for help and saves them.(F)
20 The Lord guards all those who love Him,
but He destroys all the wicked.(G)
21 My mouth will declare Yahweh’s praise;
let every living thing
praise His holy name forever and ever.(H)

Isaiah 44:1-5

Spiritual Blessing

44 “And now listen, Jacob My servant,
Israel whom I have chosen.(A)
2 This is the word of the Lord
your Maker who formed you from the womb;
He[a] will help you:
Do not fear; Jacob is My servant;
I have chosen Jeshurun.[b](B)
3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out My Spirit(C) on your descendants
and My blessing on your offspring.
4 They will sprout among[c] the grass
like poplars by flowing streams.
5 This one will say, ‘I am the Lord’s’;
another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
still another will write on his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’
and name himself by the name of Israel.”

Matthew 7:7-11

Keep Asking, Searching, Knocking

7 “Keep asking,[a](A) and it will be given to you.(B) Keep searching,[b] and you will find. Keep knocking,[c] and the door[d] will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds,(C) and to the one who knocks, the door[e] will be opened. 9 What man among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you then, who are evil,(D) know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
