诗篇 16:5-11
16:5 耶和华是我的产业，
是我杯中的分；
我所得的，你为我持守。
16:6 用绳量给我的地界，坐落在佳美之处；
我的产业实在美好。
16:7 我必称颂那指教我的耶和华；
我的心肠在夜间也警戒我。
16:8 我将耶和华常摆在我面前，
因他在我右边，我便不至摇动。
16:9 因此，我的心欢喜，我的灵（注：原文作“荣耀”）快乐，
我的肉身也要安然居住。
16:10 因为你必不将我的灵魂撇在阴间，
也不叫你的圣者见朽坏。
16:11 你必将生命的道路指示我；
在你面前有满足的喜乐，
在你右手中有永远的福乐。
耶利米书 29:11-14
29:11 耶和华说：“我知道我向你们所怀的意念，是赐平安的意念，不是降灾祸的意念，要叫你们末后有指望。
29:12 你们要呼求我，祷告我，我就应允你们。
29:13 你们寻求我，若专心寻求我，就必寻见。”
29:14 耶和华说：“我必被你们寻见，我也必使你们被掳的人归回，将你们从各国中和我所赶你们到的各处招聚了来，又将你们带回我使你们被掳掠离开的地方。”这是耶和华说的。
Psalm 16:5-11 (NIV)
5Lord , you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
6The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7I will praise the Lord , who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
8I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
10because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
11You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Jeremiah 29:11-14 (NIV)
11For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
12Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
13You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
14I will be found by you,” declares the Lord , “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord , “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
