Fourth Sunday after Epiphany
For you, O Lord, are my hope
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Bible Verse of the Week 1 Corinthians 13:8a
Love never ends.
Psalm 71:1-6 January 31, 2010
In you, O Lord, I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me and save me.
Be to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.
For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Upon you I have leaned from my birth;
it was you who took me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is continually of you.
