Psalm 55:8-13

"Seek the Lord while He may be found;
call upon Him while He is near;

let the wicked forsake his way,and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that He may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways declares the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For as the rain and the snow
come down from heaven
and do not return there but
water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and
bread to the eater,

so shall my word be that goes
out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that
which I Purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing
for which I sent it.

For you shall go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and the hills
before you
shall break forth into singing,
and the trees of the field
shall clap their hands.

Instead of the thorn shall come
up the cypress;
instead of the brier shall come
up the myrtle;
and it shall make a name for the
Lord,
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off ."
