But the wisdom that comes from heaven is pure. That’s the most important thing about it. And that’s not all. It also loves peace. It thinks about others. It obeys. It is full of mercy and good fruit. It is fair. It doesn’t pretend to be what it is not.
The Lord God is like the sun that gives us light. He is like a shield that keeps us safe. The Lord blesses us with favor and honor. He doesn’t hold back anything good from those whose lives are without blame.
He is my loving God and is like a fort to me. He is my place of safety and the God who saves me. He is like a shield that keeps me safe. He brings nations under my control.
All you Israelites, trust in the Lord. He helps you like a shield that keeps you safe.Priests of Aaron, trust in the Lord. He helps you like a shield that keeps you safe.You who have respect for the Lord, trust in him. He helps you like a shield that keeps you safe.
