psalm requests

[Lilly]

this weekend marks the last time i'll see my best of all best friends until thanksgiving.

i made her a great little box with pictures of us paper mache'd onto it, and a book and things like that. the last thing i'm doing is giving her a lot of envelopes with little sayings on the inside. i have a lot of zootv sayings them and some inside jokes. but i also wanted to include some psalms and things like that.

so i call upon you all who know the bible much better than i.

are there any nice little goodbye's, goodlucks, things like that that you can think of, you that you personally enjoy? anything would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

I like Psalms 34

I sought the LORD and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit

Alas tis late and I am very tired...but tomorrow I will do research for my dearest Shannon

Plus I'll get to reread one of the best books of the Bible!

Psalm 121

I lift up my eyes to the hills-
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord ,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip-
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you-
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm-
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

I can't pick a part of this, so you get the whole thing.

Psalm 139

O Lord , you have searched me
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O Lord .

You hem me in-behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.

If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord ,
and abhor those who rise up against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
