Psalms 31:4

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.

On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

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

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.

The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”

for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.

Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.

But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.

Yahweh, your God, is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.

teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,

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.”

I go mourning without the sun. I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.

From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

Should evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.

not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,

My eyes are ever on Yahweh, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I haven’t gone astray from your precepts.

For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don’t leave my soul destitute.

Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”

No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.

I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?

Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.

When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho facing him saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” They came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.

But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.

Lord, open my lips. My mouth will declare your praise.

From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?

They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.

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.

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.

He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.

A lying tongue hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.

Yahweh’s Spirit will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.

Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel. I will help you,” says Yahweh. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.

He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.”

seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,

He hired so that I would be afraid, do so, and sin, and that they might have material for an evil report, that they might reproach me.

For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.

For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

For Yahweh won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

Yahweh upholds all who fall, and raises up all those who are bowed down.

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.

Let a cry be heard from their houses when you bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me and hidden snares for my feet.

I will strengthen them in Yahweh; and they will walk up and down in his name,” says Yahweh.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.

For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves.

Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.

A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
