Strength

How blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
In whose heart are the highways to Zion!

Will gain new strength;
They will

mount up with wings like eagles,

They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.

It is He who flashes forth with destruction upon the strong,
So that destruction comes upon the fortress.

And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

Still

Tremble,

and do not sin;

Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

By the greatness of Your arm they are motionless as stone;

Until Your people pass over, O Lord,
Until the people pass over whom You have purchased.

“He keeps the feet of His godly ones,

But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness;

For not by might shall a man prevail.

Now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, Lord, are God.”

“But the Lord is in His holy temple.

Let all the earth be silent before Him.”

The enemy

Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles,
Because of the presence of the enemy and the avenger.
