O Lord, Your grace is from eternity to eternity,
over those who fear You and trust in You;
it is not my righteousness
that allows me to stand before You.
People measured me and found me too light,
but You have known me in truth;
for You do not look as man looks,
but You see into the deepest place.
Your truth does not remain hidden forever;
it breaks forth like light in the darkness,
and every lie will be silenced
before its radiance.
What You have spoken over me,
You Yourself will confirm;
no tongue can stop it,
no hand can erase it.
My hope is not in this life alone,
but in the promise that is to come;
for You have prepared for me an inheritance
that does not perish.
There will be no tear in Your presence,
no accusation, no judgment of men;
only truth and light
before Your throne.
Therefore my soul will rest in Your grace,
and my heart will stand firm in Your Word;
for You are faithful
in all that You speak.
To You belong my life and my death,
my time and my eternity;
I wait upon You, O Lord,
for my salvation is with You.
Amen.
