April 14

Morning

My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips: when I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the [night] watches.

How precious . . . are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!--How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth!--Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love [is] better than wine.

Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire beside thee.--Thou art fairer than the children of men.

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so [is] my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit [was] sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me [was] love.--His countenance [is] as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. His mouth [is] most sweet: yea, he [is] altogether lovely. This [is] my beloved, and this [is] my friend.

Evening

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation.

I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.--Return, ye backsliding children, [and] I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou [art] the LORD our God.--I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.--He restoreth my soul.--O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe.

I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
