O God, be kind to Zion and help her; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

May I never be able to sing again if I do not remember you, if I do not think of you as my greatest joy!

Remember, LORD, what the Edomites did the day Jerusalem was captured. Remember how they kept saying, "Tear it down to the ground!"

The LORD says to his people in Babylonia: "You have escaped death! Now go! Don't wait! Though you are far from home, think about me, your LORD, and remember Jerusalem.

I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me.

Do your best to preserve the unity which the Spirit gives by means of the peace that binds you together.

May the Lord himself, who is our source of peace, give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all.

I will bless those who bless you, But I will curse those who curse you. And through you I will bless all the nations."

The nation is like a mighty lion; When it is sleeping, no one dares wake it. Whoever blesses Israel will be blessed, And whoever curses Israel will be cursed."

We know that we have left death and come over into life; we know it because we love others. Those who do not love are still under the power of death.
