Psalms 25:15

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us. We don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.

My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.

I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, until he has mercy on us.

Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? The yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.

Yahweh says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron;

The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.

A revelation about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, chariots, and a people more numerous than you, you shall not be afraid of them; for Yahweh your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.

Though men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling.

In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”
