Psalm 42 1 For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of
Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for
you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When
can I go and meet with God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while men
say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" 4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I
used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of
God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng. 5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed
within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior
and 6 my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I
will remember you from the land of the Dear God, my heart is downcast
within me for I am in great distress and much anguish of soul. I have prayed and cried to You but You haven’t
answered my prayers and delivered me from my troubles. Yet
I keep praising You for all that You have done before. I
trust in You and put my hope in You. I will keep praying and not faint
for You are faithful and Your promises are ever true. O! Come soon and
deliver me and make me glad in You. 7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers have swept over me. 8 By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song
is with me-- a prayer to the God of my life. 9
I say to God my Rock, "Why have you
forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?" 10 My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me,
saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?" Dear Lord, You are
my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about
mourning”? Why should men taunt me saying
“Where is your God?” Come Lord and show Yourself up on my
behalf who trust in You alone. 11 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed
within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior
and my God. Dear Lord, let not my soul be
downcast. Lift me up from the miry clay and the pit of bitterness in which I am. I will praise You
always. I will keep trusting
in You at all times and in all circumstances. Help me O! Lord. Romans 8 31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God
is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up
for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us
all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has
chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who
died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of
God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall
trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or
sword? 36 As it is written: "For your sake we face death all
day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any
powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all
creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in
Christ Jesus our Lord. Dear Lord, grant me the sure
conviction that NOTHING in all the world will ever be able to separate
me from Your Love to me, though my love may fail! Father God, Your love
for me was so great that You gave Your only Son Jesus for me to die for
my sins. Hence, I am persuaded that You will not
withhold anything that is good for me. Thank You Lord. |
