“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the Gardner. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and He prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in Me and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot proceed fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in Me.

Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in Me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. Anyone who does remain in Me is thrown away like a useless branching withers. Such branches are gathered up into a pile and burned. But if you remain in Me and My words remain in you, you ay ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to My Father.” (John 15:1-8, NLT)

“But the Lord reigns forever, executing judgment from His throne. He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness.

Sing praises to the Lord who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about His unforgettable deeds.”

“Arise, O Lord! Do not let mere mortals defy You! Judge the Nations! Make them tremble in fear, O Lord. Let the nations know they are merely human.”

“O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, and all who oppose You.

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers – the moon and the stars you set in place – what are mere mortals that You should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? Yet you made then only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.

You gave them charge of everything You made, putting all things under their authority – the flocks and the herds and all the world animals, the birds that fly, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents.

“Oh Lord, our Lord your majestic name fills the earth!”

“O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage.
Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak.
Heal me Lord, for my bones are in agony, I am sick at heart.
How long, O Lord, until you restore me?

Return, O Lord, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love.
For the dead do not remember you. Who can praise. you from the grave?

I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenched it with my tears. My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.

Go away, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping. The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will answer my prayer . May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified. May they suddenly turn back in shame.”
(Psalm 6)

“O, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners have no place among the godly. For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.”
