'Trouble' in the Bible

O Lord, how my enemies have increased!Many are rising up against me.

The Lord also will be a refuge and a stronghold for the oppressed,A refuge in times of trouble;

Why do You stand far away, O Lord?Why do You hide [Yourself, veiling Your eyes] in times of trouble?

His mouth is full of curses and deceit (fraud) and oppression;Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness [injustice and sin].

You have seen it, for You have noted mischief and vexation (irritation) to take it into Your hand.The unfortunate commits himself to You;You are the helper of the fatherless.

And my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.

He makes my feet like hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly and tread safely on paths of testing and trouble];He sets me [securely] upon my high places.

May the Lord answer you (David) in the day of trouble!May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high [and defend you in battle]!

Do not be far from me, for trouble is near;And there is no one to help.

My praise will be of You in the great assembly.I will pay my vows [made in the time of trouble] before those who [reverently] fear Him.

For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter;In the secret place of His tent He will hide me;He will lift me up on a rock.

Be gracious and compassionate to me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;My eye is clouded and weakened by grief, my soul and my body also.

You are my hiding place; You, Lord, protect me from trouble;You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah.

But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;He is their refuge and stronghold in the time of trouble.

Blessed [by God’s grace and compassion] is he who considers the helpless;The Lord will save him in the day of trouble.

God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable],A very present and well-proved help in trouble.

Call on Me in the day of trouble;I will rescue you, and you shall honor and glorify Me.”

For He has rescued me from every trouble,And my eye has looked with satisfaction (triumph) on my enemies.

Because of the voice of the enemy,Because of the pressure of the wicked;For they bring down trouble on me,And in anger they persecute me.

All day long they twist my words and say hurtful things;All their thoughts are against me for evil.

They are not in trouble as other men,Nor are they plagued like mankind.

In the day of my trouble I [desperately] sought the Lord;In the night my hand was stretched out [in prayer] without weariness;My soul refused to be comforted.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,For You will answer me.

Trouble and anguish have found me,Yet Your commandments are my delight and my joy.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,And Your right hand will save me.

I pour out my complaint before Him;I declare my trouble before Him.

Save my life, O Lord, for Your name’s sake;In Your righteousness bring my life out of trouble.
