Psalms 59:1

Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains.

Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.

for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.

The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe.

If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

“He trusts in Yahweh. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”

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

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.

Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.

It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

“So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.

May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,

For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.

For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

“Now I will arise,” says Yahweh. “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.

then you will delight yourself in Yahweh, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;” for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.

Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. They gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger.

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

They put away the foreign gods from among them and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “Yahweh has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

David struck also Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River.

He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.

David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.

He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man:

Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.

Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty.

Who among you fears Yahweh and obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in Yahweh’s name, and rely on his God.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”

“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”

May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?

God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me.

Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.

In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
