the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.”
For your ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all your paths.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
