He let them ride over the highlands and feast on the crops of the fields. He nourished them with honey from the rock and olive oil from the stony ground.

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

Each time he said,“ My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

How blessed you are, O Israel! Who else is like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is your protecting shield and your triumphant sword! Your enemies will cringe before you, and you will stomp on their backs!”

The Lord is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?

Then the Lord will be your delight. I will give you great honor and satisfy you with the inheritance I promised to your ancestor Jacob. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.

See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The Lord God is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.”

We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy,

By my power I will make my people strong, and by my authority they will go wherever they wish. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

Answer me when I call to you, O God who declares me innocent. Free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you make groundless accusations? How long will you continue your lies? InterludeYou can be sure of this: The Lord set apart the godly for himself. The Lord will answer when I call to him.Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. InterludeOffer sacrifices in the right spirit, and trust the Lord.Many people say,“ Who will show us better times?” Let your face smile on us, Lord.You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.

The people will declare,“ The Lord is the source of all my righteousness and strength.” And all who were angry with him will come to him and be ashamed.

I love you, Lord; you are my strength.

O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage.Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.I am sick at heart. How long, O Lord, until you restore me?Return, O Lord, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love.For the dead do not remember you. Who can praise you from the grave?I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears.My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.Go away, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping.The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will answer my prayer.May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified. May they suddenly turn back in shame.

God is honored in Judah; his name is great in Israel.Jerusalem is where he lives; Mount Zion is his home.There he has broken the fiery arrows of the enemy, the shields and swords and weapons of war. InterludeYou are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains.Our boldest enemies have been plundered. They lie before us in the sleep of death. No warrior could lift a hand against us.At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob, their horses and chariots lay still.No wonder you are greatly feared! Who can stand before you when your anger explodes?From heaven you sentenced your enemies; the earth trembled and stood silent before you.You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God, and to rescue the oppressed of the earth. InterludeHuman defiance only enhances your glory, for you use it as a weapon.Make vows to the Lord your God, and keep them. Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.For he breaks the pride of princes, and the kings of the earth fear him.

May God be merciful and bless us. May his face smile with favor on us. InterludeMay your ways be known throughout the earth, your saving power among people everywhere.May the nations praise you, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise you.Let the whole world sing for joy, because you govern the nations with justice and guide the people of the whole world. InterludeMay the nations praise you, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise you.Then the earth will yield its harvests, and God, our God, will richly bless us.Yes, God will bless us, and people all over the world will fear him.

Come with great power, O God, and rescue me! Defend me with your might.Listen to my prayer, O God. Pay attention to my plea.For strangers are attacking me; violent people are trying to kill me. They care nothing for God. InterludeBut God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them. Do as you promised and put an end to them.I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you; I will praise your name, O Lord, for it is good.For you have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my enemies.Listen to my prayer, O God. Do not ignore my cry for help!Please listen and answer me, for I am overwhelmed by my troubles.My enemies shout at me, making loud and wicked threats. They bring trouble on me and angrily hunt me down.My heart pounds in my chest. The terror of death assaults me.Fear and trembling overwhelm me, and I can’t stop shaking.Oh, that I had wings like a dove; then I would fly away and rest!I would fly far away to the quiet of the wilderness. InterludeHow quickly I would escape— far from this wild storm of hatred.Confuse them, Lord, and frustrate their plans, for I see violence and conflict in the city.Its walls are patrolled day and night against invaders, but the real danger is wickedness within the city.Everything is falling apart; threats and cheating are rampant in the streets.It is not an enemy who taunts me— I could bear that. It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me— I could have hidden from them.Instead, it is you— my equal, my companion and close friend.What good fellowship we once enjoyed as we walked together to the house of God.Let death stalk my enemies; let the grave swallow them alive, for evil makes its home within them.But I will call on God, and the Lord will rescue me.Morning, noon, and night I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my voice.He ransoms me and keeps me safe from the battle waged against me, though many still oppose me.God, who has ruled forever, will hear me and humble them. Interlude For my enemies refuse to change their ways; they do not fear God.As for my companion, he betrayed his friends; he broke his promises.His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.But you, O God, will send the wicked down to the pit of destruction. Murderers and liars will die young, but I am trusting you to save me.
