The Lord is for me among those who help me

The Lord is on my side I will not fear, What can man do tome The Lord is for me among those who help me Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Princes. All nations surrounded me but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them They surrounded me like bees; they were quenched like a fire of thorns, For in the name of the Lord, I will destroy them You pushed me violently that I might fall but the Lord helped me The Lord is my strength and song and He has become my salvation Psalm 118: 4-14 The right hand of the Lord does valiantly, The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tent of the righteous: The right hand of the Lord does valiantly, The right hand of the lord is exalted, The right hand of the lord does valiantly Psalm 118:15-16 The stone which the builders rejected I shall not die but live And declare the goodness of the lord in the Land of

I trust in you for safety

Protect me O God, I trust in you for safety, I say to the Lord, you are my Lord All the good things I have come from you How excellent are the Lord’s faithful people My greatest pleasure is to be with them Those who rush to other gods bring many troubles on themselves I will not take part in their sacrifices I will not worship their gods The Lord are all I have, and you give me all I need My future is in your hands How wonderful are your gifts to me, how good they are I praise the Lord, because he guides me And in the night my conscience warns me I am always aware of the Lord’s presence He is near and nothing can shake me So I am thankful and glad, I feel completely secure Because you protect me from the power of death I have served you faithfully and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead. Psalm 16:1-10 Path that leads to life You will show me the path that leads to life Your presence fills me with joy and brings me pleasure forever Psalm 16:11. The Lord alone is God God alo

May they disappear like water draining away

Break the teeth of these fierce lions May they disappear like water draining away May they be crushed like weeds on a path May they be like snails that dissolve in slime May they be like a baby born dead and never see the light Before they know it, they are cut down Like weeds in His fierce anger God will blow them away while they are still living Psalm 58:6-9 People will say the righteous are indeed rewarded The righteous will be glad when they see sinners punished They will wade through the blood of the wicked People will say the righteous are indeed rewarded There is indeed a God who judges the earth. Psalm 58: 10-11 Human help is worthless now Who Oh God will take me to the fortified city Who will lead me to Edom? Have you really rejected us? Aren’t you going to march out with our armies? Help us against the enemy Human help is worthless now. With God on our side, we will win, He will defeat our enemies Psalm 60; 9-12 Let me find safety under your wings Let me live in your sanctuar

But in lowliness of mind, let each esteem others better than him self.

Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the spirit., if any affection or mercy, Fulfill my joy by being likeminded , having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem others better than him self. Let each of you look out not only for his own interest, but also for the interest of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. Phil 2: 1-5 Made himself of no reputation Who being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal to God. But made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death on the cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and given Him the name which is above every name Phil 2: 6-9 Every knee should bow, That at the name o

I call to remembrance my song in the night

I cried out to the Lord with my voice-to God with my voice and he gave ear to me In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord; my hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing, my soul refused to be comforted I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled I cannot speak I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart and my spirit makes diligent search Will the Lord cast off forever? Will He be favourable no more? Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Psalm 77:1-9 Your way Oh Lord is in the sanctuary And I said this is my anguish; but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High I will remember the Works of the Lord, Surely I will remember the works of old I will also meditate on your work and talk of

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne

The Glory of God's Reign The LORD is king! Let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad! Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. Fire goes before him, and consumes his adversaries on every side. His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth. Psalm 97:1-5 All worshipers of images are put to shame, The heavens proclaim his righteousness; and all the peoples behold his glory. All worshipers of images are put to shame, those who make their boast in worthless idols; all gods bow down before him. Zion hears and is glad, and the towns of Judah rejoice, because of your judgments, O God. Psalm 97:6-8 Light dawns for the righteous For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods. The LORD loves those who hate evil; he guards the lives of his faithful; he rescues them from the hand of th

His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation,

Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God. His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King. Within its citadels God has shown himself a sure defense. Then the kings assembled, they came on together. Psalm 48: 1-4 As we have heard, so have we seen As soon as they saw it, they were astounded; they were in panic, they took to flight; trembling took hold of them there, pains as of a woman in labor, as when an east wind shatters the ships of Tarshish. As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God, which God establishes forever Selah Psalm 48: 5-8 Your right hand is filled with victory We ponder your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple. Your name, O God, like your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with victory. Let Mount Zion be glad, let the towns of Judah rejoice because of your judgments. Psa

I will not fear, what can man do to me?

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! For his mercy endures forever. Let Israel now say, His mercy endures for ever, Let the House of Aaron now say, His mercy endures forever Let those who fear the Lord now say His mercy endures forever I called to the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place The Lord is on my side, I will not fear, what can man do to me? The Lord is for me among those who help me Therefore, I shall see my desire on those who hate me. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes All nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord, I will destroy them They surrounded me, yes they surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord, I will destroy them. The surrounded me like bees, but they were quenched like a fire of thorns For in the name of the Lord, I will destroy them Psalm 118: 1-12 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tent of the righteou

God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble

Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have, you murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask You ask and do not receive because you ask amiss that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that scripture says in vain, “The spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously?” But he gives more grace. Therefore he says “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” James 4:1-6 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up Therefore submit to God, resist the Devil and He will flee from you Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded. Lament and mourn and

May the mountains yield prosperity for the people

Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to a king's son. May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice. May the mountains yield prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness. May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the needy, and crush the oppressor. May he live while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations. May he be like rain May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth. In his days may righteousness flourish and peace abound, until the moon is no more. Psalm 72: 1-7 May his foes bow down before him, May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. May his foes bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust. May the kings of Tarshish and of the isles render him tribute, may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts. May all kings fall down before him, all nations give him service. Psalm 72:

He will uproot you from the land of the living

Why do you boast, O mighty one, of mischief done against the godly? All day long you are plotting destruction. Your tongue is like a sharp razor, you worker of treachery. You love evil more than good, and lying more than speaking the truth. Selah You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue. But God will break you down forever; he will snatch and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah Psalm 52: 1-5 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. The righteous will see, and fear, and will laugh at the evildoer, saying, “See the one who would not take refuge in God, but trusted in abundant riches, and sought refuge in wealth!” But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever. Psalm 52:6-8 I will proclaim your name I will thank you forever, because of what you have done. In the presence of the faithful I will proclaim your name, for it is good. Psalm 52:9 He looks upon the childr

Your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.

I will sing of your steadfast love, O LORD, a forever; with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations. I declare that your steadfast love is established forever; your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens. You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to my servant David: ‘I will establish your descendants forever, and build your throne for all generations.’ ” Selah Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones. Psalm 89: 1-5 You rule the raging of the sea For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD, a God feared in the council of the holy ones, great and awesome above all that are around him? O LORD God of hosts, who is as mighty as you, O LORD? Your faithfulness surrounds you. You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them. Psalm 89: 6-9 Happy are the people, who know the festal shout , Righteousness and justice are the

I have called you by name and you are mine

Israel, the God who created you says do not be afraid, I will save you, I have called you by name and you are mine When you pass through the deep waters, I will be with you Your troubles will not overwhelm you When you pass through the fire, you will not be burnt The hard trials that come will not hurt you For I am the Lord your God The Holy God, the Holy God of Israel who saves you I will give up Egypt to set you free I will give up Ethiopia and Seba I will give up whole nations to save your life Because you are precious top me And because I love you and give you honour Do no be afraid, I am with you Isaiah 43:1- 5 I will bring an army against Babylon To save you, I will bring an army against Babylon I will break down the city gates and the shouts of her people will turn into crying I am the Lord your Holy God I created you Israel, your Holy King Psalm 43:14-15 I will surely save all who obey me Giving thanks is the sacrifice that honours me And I will surely save all who obey me Psal

You have not lied to men but to God.

But a certain man named Ananias with Saphira his wife sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid at the apostles feet. But Peter said “Ananias why has satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? “While I remained was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” Then Ananias hearing these words fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. And the young men arose and wrapped him up carried him out and buried him. Acts 5; 1-6 But the people esteemed them highly And thorough the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch. Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. And believ

Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me

O LORD my God, in you I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me, or like a lion they will tear me apart; they will drag me away, with no one to rescue. O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands, if I have repaid my ally with harm or plundered my foe without cause, then let the enemy pursue and overtake me, trample my life to the ground, and lay my soul in the dust. Selah Psalm 7:1-5 O let the evil of the wicked come to an end Rise up, O LORD, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake, O my God, you have appointed a judgment. Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered around you, and over it take your seat on high. The LORD judges the peoples; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me. O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous, you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God. Psalm 7:6-9 God will whet his sword God is my shield, who

Does not the potter have power over the clay?

Does not the potter have power over the clay? From the same lump to make one vessel for honour and one vessel for dishonour? What if God wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known endured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction. And that he might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy which he had prepared beforehand for glory. Even as whom he called; not of the Jews only but also of the Gentiles? As he says also in Hosea, I will call them my people who were not my people and her beloved who was not beloved. And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, “you are not my people,” there they shall be called sons of God. Romans 9; 21-27 Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel, Children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved For he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, for the Lord shall make a short work upon the earth.

Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people

Praise the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever. Who can utter the mighty doings of the LORD, or declare all his praise? Happy are those who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times. Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people; help me when you deliver them; that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory in your heritage. Both we and our ancestors have sinned; we have committed iniquity, have done wickedly. Psalm 106 : 1-6 Yet he saved them for his name's sake Our ancestors, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wonderful works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled against the Most High at the Red Sea. Yet he saved them for his name's sake, so that he might make known his mighty power. He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry; he led them through the deep as through a desert. Psalm 106 : 7-

Who honor those who fear the Lord

O LORD, who may abide in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy hill? Those who walk blamelessly, and do what is right, and speak the truth from their heart; who do not slander with their tongue, and do no evil to their friends, nor take up a reproach against their neighbors; in whose eyes the wicked are despised, but who honor those who fear the LORD; who stand by their oath even to their hurt; who do not lend money at interest, and do not take a bribe against the innocent. Those who do these things shall never be moved. Psalm 15:1-5 For they flatter themselves in their own eyes Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts; there is no fear of God before their eyes. For they flatter themselves in their own eyes that their iniquity cannot be found out and hated. The words of their mouths are mischief and deceit; they have ceased to act wisely and do good. They plot mischief while on their beds; they are set on a way that is not good; they do not reject evil. Psalm 36: 1-4 You

O LORD, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror

O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger, or discipline me in your wrath. Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror. My soul also is struck with terror, while you, O LORD—how long? Turn, O LORD, save my life; deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love. For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who can give you praise? Psalm 6: 1-5 I am weary with my moaning I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. My eyes waste away because of grief; they grow weak because of all my foes. Psalm 6: 6-7 The LORD has heard my supplication Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD accepts my prayer. All my enemies shall be ashamed and struck with terror; they shall turn back, and in a moment be put to shame. Psalm 6: 8-10 Save me from all those who persecute me Oh Lord my God in you

In the heavens he has set a tent for the sun

The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In the heavens he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy, and like a strong man runs its course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and nothing is hid from its heat. Psalm 19: 1-6 The commandment of the LORD is clear , The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the decrees of the LORD are sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is clear, enlightening the eyes; Psalm 19: 7-8 The ordinances of the LORD are true The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the LORD are true and right

Do you look at things according to the outward appearance?

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, And being ready to punish all disobedience is fulfilled. Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ’s, let him again consider this in him, that just as he is Christ’s even so we are Christ’s. For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed. 2 Cor 2: 3-8 Comparing themselves among themselves are not wise Lest I seem to terrify you by letters. “For his letters,” they say, “are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. Let such a person consider thi

Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discourage in your souls. You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: “My son, does not despise the chastening of the LORD, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; Hebrews 12: 1-5 For what son is there whom a father does not chasten? For whom the LORD loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.” If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is th

What can mortals do to me?

O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever! Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” Let those who fear the LORD say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” Out of my distress I called on the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me in a broad place. With the LORD on my side I do not fear. What can mortals do to me? The LORD is on my side to help me; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to put confidence in mortals. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. Psalm 118: 1-9 The LORD is my strength and my might All nations surrounded me; in the name of the LORD I cut them off! They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side; in the name of the LORD I cut them off! They surrounded me like bees; they blazed like a fire of thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off! I was pushed hard, so that I

For we are to God among those who are being saved

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ and through us diffuses the knowledge of fragrance in every place. For we are to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death and the other the aroma of life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God; But as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ. I Cor 2 14-17 Written not with ink but by the spirit of the living God Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or de we need as some others, epistles of commendation from you? You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; Clearly you an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh that is of the heart. I Corinthians 3:1-3 But our sufficiency is of God. And we have such trust through Christ toward Go

Because of your great power, your enemies cringe before you.

Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise. Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power, your enemies cringe before you. All the earth worships you; they sing praises to you, sing praises to your name.” Selah Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds among mortals. Psalm 66:1-5 Whose eyes keep watch on the nations He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him, who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations— let the rebellious not exalt themselves. Selah Psalm 66: 6-7 You have tried us as silver is tried . Bless our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard, who has kept us among the living, and has not let our feet slip. For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. You brought us into the net; you laid burdens on our backs; you let people ride over our heads; we went through fire an

God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble

Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have, you murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask You ask and do not receive because you ask amiss that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that scripture says in vain, “The spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously?” But he gives more grace. Therefore he says “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” James 4:1-6 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up Therefore submit to God, resist the Devil and He will flee from you Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded. Lament and mourn and

But let the righteous be joyful

Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy. Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds— his name is the LORD— be exultant before him. Psalm 68 ; 1-4 God gives the desolate a home to live in Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. Psalm 68: 5-6 The earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psalm 68: 7-8 O God, you showered abro

God did by sending His own son in the likeness of sinful flesh,

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, That the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the spirit. Romans 8:1-4 For to be carnally minded is death, For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, The things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8: 5-6 But you are not in the flesh but in the Sprit of God dwells in you Because the carnal mind is enmity against

The Lord will hear when I call

He answers me from His holy hill O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; many are saying to me, “There is no help for you in God.” Selah But you, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah Psalm 3:1-4 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me. I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. Psalm 3:5-6 For you strike all my enemies on the cheek Rise up, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked. Deliverance belongs to the LORD; may your blessing be on your people! Selah Psalm 3:7-8 You have relieved me in my distress Hear me when I call O God, of my righteousness You have relieved me in my distress, have mercy on me and hear my prayer. Psalm 4:1 The Lord will hear when I call to Him. But know that th

Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people

Praise the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever. Who can utter the mighty doings of the LORD, or declare all his praise? Happy are those who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times. Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people; help me when you deliver them; that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory in your heritage. Psalm 106; 1-5 Yet he saved them for his name's sake Both we and our ancestors have sinned; we have committed iniquity, have done wickedly. Our ancestors, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wonderful works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled against the Most High at the Red Sea. Yet he saved them for his name's sake, so that he might make known his mighty power. Psalm 106:6-8 The waters covered their adversaries He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry; he led them th

I have called you by name and you are mine

Israel, the God who created you says do not be afraid, I will save you, I have called you by name and you are mine When you pass through the deep waters, I will be with you Your troubles will not overwhelm you When you pass through the fire, you will not be burnt The hard trials that come will not hurt you For I am the Lord your God The Holy God, the Holy God of Israel who saves you I will give up Egypt to set you free I will give up Ethiopia and Seba I will give up whole nations to save your life Because you are precious to me And because I love you and give you honour Do no be afraid, I am with you Isaiah 43:1- 5 I will bring an army against Babylon To save you, I will bring an army against Babylon I will break down the city gates and the shouts of her people will turn into crying I am the Lord your Holy God I created you Israel, your Holy King Psalm 43:14-15 I will surely save all who obey me Giving thanks is the sacrifice that honours me And I will surely save all who obey me Psalm

God did by sending His own son in the likeness of sinful flesh,

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, That the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the spirit. Romans 8:1-4 For to be carnally minded is death For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, The things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8: 5-6 But you are not in the flesh but in the Sprit of God dwells in you Because the carnal mind is enmity against G

Does not the potter have power over the clay?

Does not the potter have power over the clay? From the same lump to make one vessel for honour and one vessel for dishonour? What if God wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known endured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction. And that he might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy which he had prepared beforehand for glory. Even as whom he called; not of the Jews only but also of the Gentiles? As he says also in Hosea, I will call them my people who were not my people and her beloved who was not beloved. And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, “you are not my people,” there they shall be called sons of God. Romans 9; 21-27 Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel, Children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, for the Lord shall make a short work upon the earth.

O Most High, when I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

Be gracious to me, O God, for people trample on me; all day long foes oppress me; my enemies trample on me all day long, for much fight against me. O Most High, when I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid; what can flesh do to me? Psalm 56: 1-4 In wrath cast down the peoples, O God All day long they seek to injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil. They stir up strife, they lurk, they watch my steps. As they hoped to have my life, so repay them for their crime; in wrath cast down the peoples, O God! Psalm 56 : 5-7 Then my enemies will retreat You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your record? Then my enemies will retreat in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. Psalm 56 : 8-9 What can a mere mortal do to me? In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid. What can a mere mortal do to me? Psalm 56 : 10-11

In their illness you heal all their infirmities.

Happy are those who consider the poor; the LORD delivers them in the day of trouble. The LORD protects them and keeps them alive; they are called happy in the land. You do not give them up to the will of their enemies. The LORD sustains them on their sickbed; in their illness you heal all their infirmities. As for me, I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you.” My enemies wonder in malice when I will die, and my name perish. And when they come to see me, they utter empty words, while their hearts gather mischief; when they go out, they tell it abroad. Psalm 41:1-6 My enemy has not triumphed over me By this I know that you are pleased with me; because my enemy has not triumphed over me. But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. Psalm 41:11-12 Even my bosom friend They think that a deadly thing has fastened on me, that I will not rise again from where I lie. Even my bosom friend in whom I trusted, who ate of my b

For I have walked in my integrity,

Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. Prove me, O LORD, and try me; test my heart and mind. For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in faithfulness to you. I do not sit with the worthless, nor do I consort with hypocrites; I hate the company of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked. I wash my hands in innocence, and go around your altar, O LORD, singing aloud a song of thanksgiving, and telling all your wondrous deeds. Psalm 26; 1-7 Do not sweep me away with sinners O LORD, I love the house in which you dwell, and the place where your glory abides. Do not sweep me away with sinners, nor my life with the bloodthirsty, those in whose hands are evil devices, and whose right hands are full of bribes. Psalm 26; 8-10 My foot stands on level ground But as for me, I walk in my integrity; redeem me, and be gracious to me. My foot stands on level ground; in the great congregation I will bless the LORD. Psalm

Tell of his salvation from day to day

O sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples. For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be revered above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Psalm 96:1-6 Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts. Worship the LORD in holy splendor; tremble before him, all the earth. Psalm 96-7-9 The LORD is king Say among the nations, “The LORD is king! The world is firmly established; it shall never be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.” Psalm 96:10- Let the field exult Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth re

Why do the nations conspire?

Why do the nations conspire, and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and his anointed, saying, "Let us burst their bonds asunder, and cast their cords from us." He who sits in the heavens laughs; the LORD has them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, "I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill." Psalm 2; 1-6 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage I will tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to me, "You are my son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. Psalm 2; 7-8 Now therefore, O kings, be wise You shall break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel." Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Psalm 2;9-10 Serve the LORD with fear Serve the LORD with fear, with

My glory and the one who lifts up my head

Lord, how they have increased who trouble me. Many are they who rise up against me Many are they who say of me, there is no help for him in God. But you Oh Lord are a shield for me, My glory and the one who lifts up my head I cried to the Lord with my voice And he heard me from His holy hill I lay down and slept I awoke for he Lord sustained me I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. Arise O Lord save me, O my God, for you have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone, you have broken the teeth of the ungodly. Psalm 3:1-7 Have mercy on me and hear my prayer Hear me when I call Oh God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer. Psalm 4:1 The Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly How long O you sons of men will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood? But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; the Lord will h

May the mountains yield prosperity for the people

Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to a king's son. May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice. May the mountains yield prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness. May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the needy, and crush the oppressor. May he live while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations. May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth. In his days may righteousness flourish and peace abound, until the moon is no more. Psalm 72: 1-7 May his foes bow down before him, May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. May his foes bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust. May the kings of Tarshish and of the isles render him tribute, may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts. May all kings fall down before him, all nations give him service. Psalm 72: 8-11 He redeems the

When your obedience is fulfilled,

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, For the weapons of our warfare are not canal But mighty in God through the pulling down of strongholds Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, And being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled, 2 Cor. 10: 3-6 Outward appearance Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If any one is convinced in himself that he is Christ’s, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ’s even so we are Christ’s. 2 Cor. 10: 7 I shall not be ashamed For even if I should boast somewhat more about authority which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed- Lest I seem to terrify you by letters 2 Cor. 10: 8-9 Weighty and powerful, For His letters they say are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak and

He is known as her refuge.

Great is the Lord. And greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in His holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy, of the whole earth is mount Zion on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is in her palaces; He is known as her refuge. For behold, the kings assembled, they pass by together They saw it and so marveled; they were troubled, they hastened away. Fear took hold of them there, and pains as of a woman in birth pangs Psalm 48: 1-6 God will establish it forever As when You break the ship of Tarshish with an east wind As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God, God will establish it forever. Psalm 48:7-8 Your right hand is full of righteousness We have thought O God on your lovingkindness in the midst of your temple According to your name O God So is your praise to the ends of the world Your right hand is full of righteousness Psalm 48: 9-10 Walk about Zion Let Mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of

The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive

Blessed is he who considers the poor, the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve Him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth. You will not deliver him to he will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; you will sustain him on his sick bed. I said “Lord be merciful to me; heal my soul for I have sinned against You”. My enemies speak evil of me “when will he die, and his name perish?” Psalm 41:1-5 He speaks lies, his heart gathers iniquity And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies his heart gathers iniquity to itself: when he goes out, he tells it. All who hate me whisper together against me; against me they devise my hurt “An evil disease” they say “clings to him and now that he lies down, He will rise up no more” Psalm 41:6-8 By this I know that You are well pleased with me Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me But You O Lord be merciful to me and raise me

Give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name

I will extol you O Lord for you have lifted me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me. O Lord my God, I cried out to you and You healed me. You brought my soul up from the grave; you have kept me alive that I should not go down to the pit Sing praise to the Lord you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance Of His holy name For His anger is but for a moment His favour is for life; weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Now in my prosperity, I said, I shall never be moved” Psalm 30 :1-6 What profit is there in my blood ? Lord by your favour, You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid your face and I was troubled. I cried out to You, O Lord; and the Lord I made my supplication: What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your truth? Hear O Lord and have mercy on me; Lord be my helper!” Psalm 30:7-10 I will give thanks to you forever. You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you
