Can you give us your source?

Presidents in the past have often made public what verses they opened the Bible to during the swearing in ceremony, so this story sounds reasonable. Although I don't disbelieve it, it would be good to confirm it in some way.

Yep. I should of put a source. Fox News reported it a little bit ago. And I found this link to the Washington Times:

"He gave me his list of tasks, as he always does," the chief of staff said. The commander in chief also told Mr. Card exactly what passage he would have the Bible open to when he took the oath of office: Isaiah 40:31 — "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
