By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy. You did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me. My servants will sing out of the joy of their hearts, but you will cry out from anguish of heart and wail in brokenness of spirit.
Light is shed upon the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
