Remember me, Lord, when you show favor to your people; come near and rescue me.Let me share in the prosperity of your chosen ones. Let me rejoice in the joy of your people; let me praise you with those who are your heritage.

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.

You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights.

You can be sure of this: The Lord set apart the godly for himself. The Lord will answer when I call to him.

I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying,“ Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

As for us, we can’t help but thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be among the first to experience salvation— a salvation that came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth.

For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own special treasure.

He chose his servant David, calling him from the sheep pens.He took David from tending the ewes and lambs and made him the shepherd of Jacob’s descendants— God’s own people, Israel.

You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.

Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter.

All who are victorious will become pillars in the Temple of my God, and they will never have to leave it. And I will write on them the name of my God, and they will be citizens in the city of my God— the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God. And I will also write on them my new name.

Because I am righteous, I will see you. When I awake, I will see you face to face and be satisfied.

Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?

They will never again be hungry or thirsty; they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun.For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to springs of life giving water. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

They will come home and sing songs of joy on the heights of Jerusalem. They will be radiant because of the Lord’s good gifts— the abundant crops of grain, new wine, and olive oil, and the healthy flocks and herds. Their life will be like a watered garden, and all their sorrows will be gone.The young women will dance for joy, and the men— old and young— will join in the celebration. I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing.The priests will enjoy abundance, and my people will feast on my good gifts. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

For I have given rest to the weary and joy to the sorrowing.”
