Version
Psalm 145:8-9

8 The Lord is (A)gracious and compassionate;
Slow to anger and great in mercy.
9 The Lord is (B)good to all,
And His (C)mercies are over all His works.

Psalm 145:14-21

14 The Lord (A)supports all who fall,
And (B)raises up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all [a]look to You,
And You (C)give them their food in due time.
16 You (D)open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

17 The Lord is (E)righteous in all His ways,
And kind in all His works.
18 The Lord is (F)near to all who call on Him,
To all who call on Him (G)in truth.
19 He will (H)fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He will also (I)hear their cry for help and save them.
20 The Lord (J)watches over all who love Him,
But He will destroy all the (K)wicked.
21 My (L)mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
And (M)all flesh will (N)bless His holy name forever and ever.

Isaiah 44:1-5

The Blessings of Israel

44 “But now listen, Jacob, My (A)servant,
And Israel, whom I have chosen:
2 This is what the Lord says, He who made you
And (B)formed you from the womb, who (C)will help you:
‘(D)Do not fear, Jacob My servant,
And [a](E)Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3 For (F)I will pour water on [b]the thirsty land
And streams on the dry ground;
I will (G)pour out My Spirit on your (H)offspring,
And My blessing on your descendants;
4 And they will spring up [c]among the grass
Like (I)poplars by streams of water.’
5 This one will say, ‘I am the Lord’s’;
And that one [d]will call on the name of Jacob;
And another will (J)write [e]on his hand, ‘Belonging to the Lord,’
And will give himself Israel’s name with honor.

Matthew 7:7-11

Prayer and the Golden Rule

7 “[a](A)Ask, and (B)it will be given to you; [b]seek, and you will find; [c]knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what person is there among you [d]who, when his son asks for a loaf of bread, [e]will give him a stone? 10 Or [f]if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11 So if you, despite being [g]evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, (C)how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
