Psalm 63:3

Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
