My strength is gone, gone like water spilled on the ground. All my bones are out of joint; my heart is like melted wax.

The ships were lifted high in the air and plunged down into the depths. In such danger the sailors lost their courage;

We were afraid as soon as we heard about it; we have all lost our courage because of you. The LORD your God is God in heaven above and here on earth.

and then said, "We are sure that the LORD has given us the whole country. All the people there are terrified of us."

Trust in the LORD. Have faith, do not despair. Trust in the LORD.

The LORD gives strength to his people and blesses them with peace.

May his towns be protected with iron gates, And may he always live secure."

He strengthens those who are weak and tired.

But those who trust in the LORD for help will find their strength renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles; they will run and not get weary; they will walk and not grow weak.

I will make my people strong; they will worship and obey me." The LORD has spoken.

I ask God from the wealth of his glory to give you power through his Spirit to be strong in your inner selves,

I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me.
