Remember [me] for my good, O my God.

Thus says the Lord, “I remember the devotion of your youth, your love as a bride, how you followed me in the wilderness.”—“Yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant.”—“I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise…. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”—“I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause, who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number.”—You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.

“Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.”
