English Standard Version

We have thought on your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple.

Psalm 48:9

All the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.

2 Corinthians 1:20

Psalm 48 (English Standard Version)

6 Trembling took hold of them there,
anguish as of a woman in labor.
7 By the east wind you shattered
the ships of Tarshish.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen
in the city of the Lord of hosts,
in the city of our God,
which God will establish forever.
9 We have thought on your steadfast love, O God,
in the midst of your temple.
10 As your name, O God,
so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11 Let Mount Zion be glad!
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments!
12 Walk about Zion, go around her,
number her towers,

2 Corinthians 1 (English Standard Version)

17 Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans according to the flesh, ready to say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?
18 As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but in him it is always Yes.
20 For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.
21 And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us,
22 and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
23 But I call God to witness against me—it was to spare you that I refrained from coming again to Corinth.

God, we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple.

Psalm 48:9

However, many promises God has made, in Christ the answer is always Yes. Through him we respond, saying Yes to the glory of God.

2 Corinthians 1:20

Psalm 48 (Free Bible Version)

6 They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth,
7 just as the strong east wind wrecks the ships from Tarshish.
8 Just as we had heard, but now we have seen the city of the Lord Almighty. This is the city of our God; he makes it secure forever. Selah.
9 God, we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple.
10 As is fitting for your reputation, God, praises to you stretch all around the world. What you do is always right!
11 Let the people of Mount Zion be glad; let the people of Judah celebrate because your judgments are always fair!
12 Go and take a look at Zion. Count the towers as you walk around.

2 Corinthians 1 (Free Bible Version)

17 Why did I change my original plan? Do you think I make my decisions lightly? Do you think that when I plan I'm like some worldly person who says Yes and No at the same time?
18 Just as God can be trusted, when we give you our word it's not both Yes and No.
19 The truth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, was announced to you by us—me, Silvanus, and Timothy—and it wasn't both Yes and No. In Christ the answer is absolutely Yes!
20 However, many promises God has made, in Christ the answer is always Yes. Through him we respond, saying Yes to the glory of God.
21 God has given both us and you the inner strength to stand firm in Christ. God has appointed us,
22 placed his stamp of approval on us, and given us the guarantee of the Spirit to convince us.
23 I call God as my witness that it was to avoid causing you pain that I chose not to come to Corinth.
