Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God.

as I would pray for a friend or a brother. I went around bent over in mourning, as one who mourns for his mother.

Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God.

I am terrified, and the terrors of death crush me.

I am gripped by fear and trembling; I am overcome with horror.

In despair and far from home I call to you! Take me to a safe refuge,

I bring him all my complaints; I tell him all my troubles.

When I am ready to give up, he knows what I should do. In the path where I walk, my enemies have hidden a trap for me.

My enemies have hunted me down and completely defeated me. They have put me in a dark prison, and I am like those who died long ago.

So I am ready to give up; I am in deep despair.

David was now in great trouble, because his men were all very bitter about losing their children, and they were threatening to stone him; but the LORD his God gave him courage.

He took Peter, James, and John with him. Distress and anguish came over him,

and he said to them, "The sorrow in my heart is so great that it almost crushes me. Stay here and keep watch."

I know that I will live to see the LORD's goodness in this present life.

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

Be patient and wait for the LORD to act; don't be worried about those who prosper or those who succeed in their evil plans.

When I am afraid, O LORD Almighty, I put my trust in you.

In him I trust, and I will not be afraid. What can a mere human being do to me?

I will always put my hope in you; I will praise you more and more.

I've lost all hope, so what if God kills me? I am going to state my case to him.

All of you that honor the LORD and obey the words of his servant, the path you walk may be dark indeed, but trust in the LORD, rely on your God.

The LORD is all I have, and so in him I put my hope.

So it is best for us to wait in patience---to wait for him to save us---

Abraham believed and hoped, even when there was no reason for hoping, and so became "the father of many nations." Just as the scripture says, "Your descendants will be as many as the stars."

His faith did not leave him, and he did not doubt God's promise; his faith filled him with power, and he gave praise to God.

You need to be patient, in order to do the will of God and receive what he promises.

For, as the scripture says, "Just a little while longer, and he who is coming will come; he will not delay.

Your people did not conquer the land with their swords; they did not win it by their own power; it was by your power and your strength, by the assurance of your presence, which showed that you loved them.

When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honor them.

I will reward them with long life; I will save them."

May the LORD look on you with favor and give you peace.

"A virgin will become pregnant and have a son, and he will be called Immanuel" (which means, "God is with us").

and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age."
