Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. {him: that is, God}

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

[A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.] O God, thou {art} my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; {thirsty: Heb. weary} {where...: without water}

I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

Whom, though I were righteous, {yet} would I not answer, {but} I would make supplication to my judge.

And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

Not for {any} injustice in mine hands: also my prayer {is} pure.

I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
