Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy.
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
Let your mercy, O Lord be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.
Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who hope in the Lord.
Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance, and my God.
How blessed is he whose help is in the God of Jacob,
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
On those who hope in His mercy.
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
Let your mercy, O Lord be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.
Psalm 33:18-22
Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who hope in the Lord.
Psalm 31:24
Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance, and my God.
Psalm 42:11
How blessed is he whose help is in the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God;
Psalm 146:5
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
Jer 17:7-8
Help me to fix the eyes of my heart on You Lord...there is nothing else to look at...there has never been anything else to look at...all has been vanity.
