- I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord,
which made heaven and earth. - Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. - God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. - Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of thy name:
and deliver us, and purge away our sins,
for thy name's sake. - For I the Lord thy God
will hold thy right hand,
saying unto thee, Fear not;
I will help thee. - Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
- For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
- Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. - Because I delivered the poor that cried,
and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me:
and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. - In my distress I called upon the Lord,
and cried unto my God:
he heard my voice out of his temple,
and my cry came before him, even into his ears. - And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
- Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
- For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
- Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
and why art thou disquieted within me?
hope thou in God:
for I shall yet praise him,
who is the health of my countenance, and my God. - Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:
and thy right hand hath holden me up,
and thy gentleness hath made me great.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,
that my feet did not slip. - A friend loveth at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity. - Behold, God is mine helper:
the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. - The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth,
and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;
and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. - I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:
for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. - Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear unto my cry;
hold not thy peace at my tears:
for I am a stranger with thee,
and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. - And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.
- But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
- I cried unto him with my mouth,
and he was extolled with my tongue. - Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
- For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us.
