Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.

The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.

The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call out to Him in truth.

He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. …

And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? …

“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. …

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.

I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.

Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.

Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

…that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. …

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
