Running from his enemies,
Fleeing from foes, David prayed,
"Your grace has brought me here, O Lord;
My enemies are many, ruthless and strong,
Yet, in Your word, I find my song."
Psalms 86:14-17 (CJB)
God, arrogant men are rising against me,
a gang of brutes is seeking my life,
and to you they pay no attention.
But you, Adonai,
are a merciful, compassionate God,
slow to anger
and rich in grace and truth.
Turn to me, and show me your favor;
strengthen your servant, save your slave-girl’s son.
Give me a sign of your favor,
so that those who hate me
will see it and be ashamed,
because you, ADONAI,
have helped and comforted me.
But they will not prevail, for Your word says:
Isaiah 54:17 (CJB)
No weapon made will prevail against you.
In court you will refute every accusation.
The servants of ADONAI inherit all this;
the reward for their righteousness is from me,”
Your promise alone is my guide—
You have chosen me to sit on Your throne,
And my kingdom will be forever.
2 Samuel 7:16-17 (Amplified Bible)
Your house (royal dynasty) and your kingdom will endure forever before Me;
your throne will be established forever.”
I trust in Your word, forever true,
And though I wait, I hold on still.
If You have spoken it, so it shall be;
Your promises endure eternally.
Romans 8:31 (CJB)
What, then, are we to say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
