This is a praise Psalm to be sure!
Right off the bat, the word praise is written 3 times, and then it says from now to evermore, from the rising of the sun to its setting.
And tho at times, I may for a short time fret about the 'nations' and it's turmoils, I need to remember that the Lord is so far exalted above or silly human governments, I really need not worry.
For sure evil exists and is often ( well actually in the end 'always' pain filled), full of pain, for the pain it puts on believers, and ultimately the perpetrators of evil.
God will in time raise ( believing) poor and needy people from the ash heap.
But more than that one day, we, them, I will be seated with princes as we are 'kings and queens' as we are a 'royal priesthood'.
as a happy mother of children"
So in any or either, case, God looks out for woman.
There are those who like to try and make a case the the God of the OT was anti women, but just the opposite is true.
so another reason to praise Him!
Also, every time you see the phrase, "Praise the Lord" in the Bible, in Hebrew it's "Hallelu Yah" , Hallelu, meaning glory, or praise, and Yah, meaning Lord or the short form of God's Name Jah, Jehovah. This is where we get the word, "Hallelujah".
I'm always drawn to the phrase "He stoops down", when I see it in the Psalms. It reminds me of my Father when I was a very little girl. He was very tall, 6 feet something, and I was very little, so he would have to stoop down to pick me up or talk to me, or play with me or help me or do anything for or with me. That he would condescend to stoop down to my level, showed his love for me, and that's what the bible is saying about God. God doesn't just sit in Heaven and ignore us, although He certainly could. He certainly doesn't need us for anything, and we can't offer Him anything at all. But because He loves us, He stoops down to pick us up and get us out of the pit we fall into, and brings us into His light. He doesn't see us as "beneath Him" even though we are. Instead, He makes us His children and sole heirs with Jesus so that ultimately everything will be ours! We couldn't possibly be more blessed than we are!
By the way, something humorous that I thought of the other day... I was thinking about how I'm constantly multitasking and that it seems difficult for some men to do that. As usual I was telling God my thoughts when I instantly realized that our Father is the master multitasker! Made me think when I thought of all he does constantly every moment of every day!
Another praise psalm, this time remembering what the Lord had done for Israel. I am thinking that remembering what the Lord has done in the past, is one of the few times, it is ok to think on the past.
This psalm looks back to when God did miracles and provided the way for Israel to leave Egypt.
God even made provisions in the earth for them by His great power, nothing is too hard for the Lord.
Because God is so powerful the earth and all that is in it ( and me) should 'tremble' and acknowledge his greatness.
The word tremble literally means to be in pain or have the pangs of a woman in childbirth. So it links the judgements of God against Egypt, when God did all those miracles, to the pains of childbirth. I noticed a long time ago that quite a few of the judgments against Egypt are the same as what will happen during the tribulation, although the ones in the trib will be on a larger scale. That's why I found it interesting that the term for the pains of childbirth is used in this verse. To me it's yet another hint about the coming tribulation which is also called the time of Jacob's trouble.
God not us should get the glory.
This reminds me of the big push in schools for 'self-esteem', the idea you can do or be whoever you want.....which not only is not true, but when they push 'self' on children, it's a slap in the face to God.
People have all sorts of 'idols' actually ones made of silver and gold ( or chasing after money...silver and gold) or all sorts of others, including self.
But Buddha, and cows and all manner of man made idols are not god's at all, they can't see, hear, speak, smell, move they are 'at best', a man made craft.
However the true God can do everything and anything ( but not evil), He is the only one who can really help and bless us ( me).
Thank you Cindy, that is interesting!
The psalmist cried out to the Lord when close to death, and God full of compassion saved him.
It seems some people will not come to or cry out to God unless they are in a life or death situation ( maybe one reason why the Lord lets that kind of situation happen, so He can show His mercy and His power.
The psalmist cried out that he was greatly afflicted and that everyone was a liar........sort of reminded me of today's 'fake news'....its almost getting to be impossible to know anymore what is real and what is not. ( everybody is a liar, and that of course reminds me that Satan is the father of lies).
is the death of his faithful servants."
"Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."
And also more importantly, Jesus died that we might live ( have eternal life with Him).
The psalmist offers a sacrifice of thanks.
Which is another application for me.
Very good! I do have some notes about this that I want to share with you though.
Just as we must learn to obey God one choice at a time, we must also learn to trust God one circumstance at a time. Trusting God is not a matter of my feelings but of my will. I never feel like trusting God when adversity strikes, but I can choose to do so even when I don’t feel like it. That act of the will, though, must be based on belief, and belief must be based on truth. The truth we must believe is that God is sovereign. He carries out His own good purposes without ever being thwarted, and He so directs and controls all events and all actions of His creatures that they never act outside of His sovereign will. We must believe this and cling to this in the face of adversity and tragedy, if we are to glorify God by trusting Him.
I wanted to point this verse out since it can bother some people. The author is not talking about what happens to people when or after they die. That's not his purpose here. Instead, he's focusing on getting people to do what they need to do here and now, letting them know that this is their one and only chance to make a difference in how they will spend eternity -"both now and forevermore." We know from God's Word that we who are saved, will never actually die, therefore we will praise the Lord both now and forevermore. Those who worship idols are spiritually dead inside. Those who are spiritually dead cannot praise God until they've been given new life. Once they've been given that new life however, they then can praise the One True God forever.
Good one, but I'd like to explain a bit of it to you so it'll make more sense to you hopefully.
First he praises God as you said and tells us why - because God answered his prayers. Then he explains that he was near death when he cried out to God to save him (when he prayed) and God did in fact save him just as he'd said. Next He talks to himself, giving himself a little pep talk kind of, and he says: “Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.” (Psalm 116:7–9) So from all this we know that he was in a very dangerous situation and could have lost his life if the Lord hadn't answered his prayer and saved him. After telling himself to basically take a deep breath and relax, remembering what God has done for him, he then tells us how he got into that situation. He says, “I believed; therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.” And in my dismay I said, “All men are liars.”” (Psalm 116:10–11) We don't know what the people or person had told him; they might have told him that he was very ill and would soon die, or they may have told him that he was so bad that the Lord would never want to save him because the Lord wouldn't want anything to do with him anymore. All we know from this is that whatever they told him, it caused him a great deal of anguish but even in his anguish he refused to believe what they said. Instead he chose to believe that God would save him and that he'd once more walk with Him, like he'd said in verse 9. He was dismayed because he knew they'd all lied to him and obviously weren't trustworthy. But he knew One that was worthy of trust, His God. He asks how he could possibly repay the Lord, knowing there's no way one can pay God for his life and forgiveness of his sins. So from there he basically says that he will repay him by being obedient to Him, and by fulfilling the vows he'd made previously. It's after this that we get to the verse you questioned.
Here he reminds us that all who are saved are precious to God, we're His treasures, and because we're valuable to Him (after all, He paid for us with His death, so that makes each one of us priceless to Him!) He's not going to allow anyone to take our life for no reason. None of us die untimely deaths in God’s plan; our deaths are never an accident, but are always according to His loving plan to bring His beloved child Home at last. Let me quote Matthew Henry on this one, as I like how he worded it: "God often wonderfully prevents the death of his saints when there is but a step between them and it; he takes special care about their death, to order it for the best in all the circumstances of it. Whoever kills them, how light soever they may make of it, they shall be made to pay dearly for it when inquisition is made for the blood of the saints. "
"Ultimately, without death, humanity would have no way of experiencing complete reconciliation with God. Confined in our bodies of sinful flesh, our separation from Him would be eternal, but for those who believe in Christ, death is the doorway into a glorious future."
Then in the rest of Psalm 116 through 117:2 he says that because he knows that his life and even his death are under God's loving control, (Job 14:5, Ephesians 1:11, Psalm 139:16; Jeremiah 29:11) he tells the Lord that he wants to serve Him instead of himself or others in this world. In his thankfulness for all God's done for him, he again affirms that he will make a sacrifice of praise to the Lord fulfilling the vows he made when he was in trouble & cried out for His help, & that he will do this in the Lord's temple in Jerusalem. He then ends by calling everyone to praise God and telling them why they should do so.
Now you can skip to Psalm 121, then Psalm 122, then skip to Psalm 135, then Psalm 136, Then skip to Psalm 138, and then Psalm 139.
or.... just up to the sky.....because I remember this verse and I know all my help comes from the Lord.
and v. 4 reminds us (me) that God never sleeps....so no matter when we may need to call to Him, He will be awake to hear us.
I really like v. 5 and 6 because I am not a fan of hot heat and glaringly bright sun light....on days like that shade is a welcome relief....because toooo much sun can 'harm' me, not just sunburn, but also a sun headache.
But even better v.7 & 8 says God watches over me and my life, now and forever more.
And the psalmist speaks of Jerusalem...it seems interesting that he mentions that it is closely compacted together.....I am not sure if there is any other meaning, other than as a description?
I always do pray for protection of Israel but in this psalm the psalmist asks for prayer for peace of Jerusalem and security.
"While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly"
But nevertheless, that does not stop me from praying for Israel.
I think it's just a description hon.
This verse has been so mangled by so many it's scary. In context, this is saying that when the false prophet(s) begin to say that there will be peace and safety for Israel, then sudden destruction will come on them due to the tribulation. It's reminding them of what the false prophets said to them before the Babylonian captivity. Then the false prophets told the people that there wouldn't be a war, or if there was any altercation that Israel would win it and that they would be safe in their own land and not have to leave it as captives etc. The false prophets were saying this to try and undo what the true prophets of God had been telling the people - that if they did not repent that God would cause them to be conquered and the nation to be ruined, with them taken captive to another land. Jeremiah said of these false prophets: “They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.” (Jeremiah 6:14) and “But I said, “Ah, Sovereign LORD, the prophets keep telling them, ‘You will not see the sword or suffer famine. Indeed, I will give you lasting peace in this place.’ ” Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.” (Jeremiah 14:13–14) See also Lamentations 2:14 and many others. Paul was saying in Thessalonians that this would happen again just before the final day of the Lord. More than likely it will happen during the tribulation when the false prophet will be telling the Jews to accept the Antichrist.
God of course knows what will happen in our future and theirs and He wants us all to pray for peace in Jerusalem anyway, even though we know that real peace won't come until the Lord has saved the Jews at His second coming. But when we pray for God's peace for them that's really what we're praying for - for their salvation. Of course we can and should pray for mental and physical peace and safety for them now too as well as for their salvation. God tells us in a number of places that we're to pray for the Jews, for peace, safety, and prosperity for them even. We can do that, in the same way Daniel prayed for their return to Jerusalem when they were all in Babylon. He prayed knowing that God had promised that He would return them to their home after 70 years of exile. Daniel didn't just "claim that promise" and wait. He prayed that God would release them and return them all safely to Jerusalem. Not because he doubted God but because he knew that God would honor His Word and answer His prayer. That's what God wants us to do as well.
but......people do suffer torture and death tho they belong to Him.
but me...no....that they cannot harm, because once I am the Lord's.
surely, not even satan himself, can truly hurt me ( but maybe my body).
Would that be an okay way to think of it?
I finally just decided it was true, even if, I could not understand it.
This is another major praise psalm!
In the 1st 4 verses praise in mentioned 4 times!
The Lord God is great, good, and does what pleases Himself. This psalm lists some of the great and wonderful things the Lord God has done.
And v. 13 says His name will endure forever!
Our God will vindicate and have compassion on His people, gods made by human hands of gold or silver are nothing, they have a 'mouth' but cannot speak, their ears do not hear and they are not real.
Then we are back to praise, in the next 3 verses praise is mentioned 5 times! I am beginning to get the message this is important!
yes, that's one way of looking at it, but let's look at some others too, ok?
I should also point out that this particular psalm is speaking to and about Israel specifically and is Messianic, therefore speaking also of Jesus at certain points. With Israel (and not with us) God told them that if they obeyed He would bless them but if they did not, He would curse them. So here He is again saying the same thing. If they make Him their dwelling, if they dwell in Him (which would automatically include obedience) that no evil (no curse including illness) would befall them.
“The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” (Psalm 121:5–8) In this case, it helps if you compare different translations. For example: NASB95 | ‎Ps 121:7 The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. Or ESV | ‎Ps 121:7 The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. In fact, 9 out of 10 versions translate the word that's translated "harm" in the NIV and a few other versions as "evil". And if you go back and look at the other psalm again and check the word in the original language, you'll again find that it too is the same word, "evil"! And again if you look at other translations, you'll find many of them translate it as "evil" instead of "harm". Obviously, there's a big difference between evil and harm. A broken arm isn't necessarily evil, although it could be depending on how it happened and why. So here what's actually being said is that the Lord will keep you from all evil.
AV 1873 | ‎Pr 12:21 There shall no evil happen to the just: But the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
NKJV | ‎Pr 12:21 No grave trouble will overtake the righteous, But the wicked shall be filled with evil.
YLT | ‎Pr 12:21 No iniquity is desired by the righteous, And the wicked have been full of evil.
NET | ‎Pr 12:21 The righteous do not encounter any harm, but the wicked are filled with calamity.
Amen! Very good! Remember, praising God is done in our minds, out loud, singing, and listening to praise and worship songs! And tomorrow, the Lord has another thing He wants to impress greatly on us!
What I'd like you to do tomorrow when you do Psalm 136 is to try and write your own psalm to the Lord using a similar structure as Psalm 136. You don't have to do all the verses, just do what feels good to you. The psalmist was an Israelite and wrote about what the Lord had done for Israel. We're not, so your psalm should be about what the Lord has done for you personally that proves that "His love endures forever!" Have fun and make it your Prayer of praise to Him!
Too no avail, the truck had completely taken off his front fender when Leonard came out from the store.
Anyway I may start my psalm today ....for sure I will think about it....and maybe.... tomorrow will finally slow down a tad!
But it sounds like a fun project!!!
Today I read this psalm and it is another psalm of praise but for Israel and some of the many things the Lord has done or did for Israel.
I am thinking the message is that it is good to remember all the blessing and love the Lord has shown us.
I have leaned way to far in remembering the 'bad' and tho God may have allowed some bad in my life, He has provided much more good....like this psalm says even the fact that the sun still shines and the moon and stars are still in the universe, is a blessing without which there would be no 'life' to even be grateful for, because neither I nor anyone else would live long if the sun went out.
That's awful that the truck driver is so incompetent! But at least with the insurance you guys can get your car fixed.
I know you've been really busy, and that's fine if you can't write it till tomorrow hon. I hope it is something you'll enjoy doing. Be sure to tell the Lord what you want to do and ask Him to help you, so you can do it together with Him!
The Hebrew word means “covenant love” or “covenant faithfulness.” God loves us because He is committed to us by His oath. God’s chesed is an essential part of His character.
In general, one may identify three basic meanings of the word, which always interact: “strength,” “steadfastness,” and “love.” Any understanding of the word that fails to suggest all three inevitably loses some of its richness. “Love” by itself easily becomes sentimentalized or universalized apart from the covenant. Yet “strength” or “steadfastness” suggests only the fulfillment of a legal or other obligation.
The word refers primarily to mutual and reciprocal rights and obligations between the parties of a relationship (especially Yahweh and Israel). But checed is not only a matter of obligation; it is also of generosity. It is not only a matter of loyalty, but also of mercy. The weaker party seeks the protection and blessing of the patron and protector, but he may not lay absolute claim to it. The stronger party remains committed to his promise, but retains his freedom, especially with regard to the manner in which he will implement those promises. Checed implies personal involvement and commitment in a relationship beyond the rule of law.
The association of checed with “covenant” keeps it from being misunderstood as mere providence or love for all creatures; it applies primarily to God’s particular love for His chosen and covenanted people. “Covenant” also stresses the reciprocity of the relationship; but since God’s checed is ultimately beyond the covenant, it will not ultimately be abandoned, even when the human partner is unfaithful and must be disciplined (Isa. 54:8, 10). Since its final triumph and implementation is eschatological, checed can imply the goal and end of all salvation-history (Ps. 85:7, 10; 130:7; Mic. 7:20).
AV 1873 | ‎Ps 136:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: For his mercy endureth for ever.
1901 ASV | ‎Ps 136:1 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
NASB95 | ‎Ps 136:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
NET | ‎Ps 136:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loyal love endures.
ESV | ‎Ps 136:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.
NLT | ‎Ps 136:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.
HCSB | ‎Ps 136:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good. His love is eternal.
YLT | ‎Ps 136:1 Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age is His kindness.
LEB | ‎Ps 136:1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loyal love endures forever.
It is interesting that you wondered if I might want to add to it...because, in fact, after I posted it, I began to think: OH I forgot, I should have ( wanted to) put this and that in also.
In part, I didn't because I wasn't 100 percent sure I was on the right track, but also, I just thought of more to add, afterward.
I mean for example, I didn't even add, How the Lord died on the cross for me, to pay the debt of my sins.....that was a pretty big omission! And that was one I thought of 'afterwards'.....tho, I might have 'remembered' if I had been more sure and added more at the time....I just don't know.
But I guess I can put it in my journal and add to it as I think of many more.
is backed up, for up to.... 5 mts!!!
that they are just being able to get to people who have been on a waiting list for a year!!!!!
I am not sure what that means even?
One could wonder if they are super slow at their jobs?
Or, are people having waaaaaay more 'fender benders'?
or, do we not have enough car repair mechanics here on the coast????
For that verse I wrote: Give thanks to the LORD, for saving Bruce's life when he had a heart attack; Your love endures forever!
For that verse I wrote: To Him who was our provision when Bruce was out of work; Your love endures forever!
I give You thanks & praise for _______________________________; Your love endures forever!
I give You thanks & praise for keeping Michael's marriage intact, Your love endures forever!
I think of it as my thank you letter to the Lord, and now it's starting to become my love letter to Him. It's really neat how the Lord changes us and we can even see the changes when we keep written records like this. Whatever you decide to do, just enjoy it. You might want to use a separate notebook though as it could eventually take over the one we started!
That's too bad about how long it will take for them to get to your car. It sounds like your area could use another service station for sure!
By the way, did you notice what I wrote yesterday about the meaning of the word translated "love" in Psalm 136 (and all through the bible when speaking of God's love for us)? It's so important that I just didn't want you to miss it.
Oh yes, I did see and read what you wrote about the full meaning of love, thank you.
I really like the way you said it was your thank you and love letter to Lord. I will think of it that way too!
Another psalm of praise and in this God's love is combined with His faithfulness.
Verse 3 says when the psalmist called God answered him.....I think believers may sometimes think God does not answer but He may be saying wait, or even no, and often He says yes, but He does answer.
maybe we should revise our petition after we stop our 'emotional only' petition, take and thoughts captive, etc.
But it's uplifting to know God hears us and answers even if it's not the answer we want.
Then it talks about singing to the Lord .........but......it's only for kings to sing ( that's a joke LOL).
But they ( and we and I) are to sing of the ways of the Lord.....kind of like our ( my) in progress 'psalm' of all His blessings, etc.
v. 7 was surely true for me, I have walked in the midst of 'trouble' ( generated by past foolish decisions) yet God preserved my life.
And then v. 8 speaks of God's love again and that it endures forever....and it mentions not being abandoned ( which I felt like I was in the past by people, but in fact, God never abandoned me.
This starts of as a psalm about just how personally involved God is with His children, He knows when we sit, or get up, He knows our every thought, etc.
In fact, the psalmist says it's just too wonderful and lofty for him ( as it is for me).
Then the psalmist asks where could he go ( tho I doubt he would ever want to) to escape from God?
All of the places the psalmist could think of, he realized that God would be there....God is God after all!
That is a very reassuring thought for me!
There is just no way possible that we were an accident of chance over millions of years of 'evolving'. Just one aspect of digestion even, we have stomach acids to dissolve food, but yet, it does not dissolve our stomach. The idea that a entity could survive, chance and happenstance over thousands and thousands of years...the entity would die of starvation or worse, looooong before the exact right stomach acids just happened!!! And that is only one tiny aspect of how complicated our human bodies have been designed by God!! Not even to get into our brains, and consciousness and other such mysteries, that only our great Creator God could design!!
And this psalm makes it clear a baby in the womb is a baby.....not a 'parasite, or JUST a mass of cells!!
And then the psalmist is in wonder and awe about how precious are the Lord's thoughts about us.
He also is grieved concerning those who hate God.
And ends asking the Lord to search him, and find an offensive ways and to lead him in the way everlasting.
The psalmist asks for protection from God because of violent evil doers, and in today's increasing violence it is a prayer we too could all be asking the Lord.
The psalmist knows that God is a strong deliverer,and of course He still is today!
The psalmist also asks that their(evil doers) plans do not succeed, and to my way of thinking, that is a petition even more needy now than maybe ever before!!
The psalmist knows God helps the poor, needy, and righteous, as He still does.
And for some reason, I am hurting waaaay more, than I have for a pretty long time.
Oh good, I'm glad you saw it. Knowing that gives much more meaning to reading about God's love all through the Bible. I'm glad you liked what I said about my psalm too.
‎There is absolutely nowhere you and I can go, nothing we can do, but that God’s presence isn’t there too. While we may vacillate in and out of our awareness of Him, He never leaves us (Heb 13:5 ). It’s important to remember that ‎God is Spirit, and our feelings swim in the natural realm. Regardless of how we feel, we can trust Him to be true to His Word when He says He’s always with us. When you can’t feel Him with your feelings, feel Him with your faith! God wants us to enjoy His presence in the routine rhythms of life, confident that He enjoys us! When we turn our attention to Him, He enables us to live with our minds cleared of the things that distract us from Him. God wants us to enjoy being present with Him in our day-to-day activities, realizing that He is right here with us—enjoying us. As Tozer said, “He meant us to see Him & live with Him & draw our life from His smile.” Anywhere, anytime we can hit the pause button & be fully present with God. We can be still, turn off the noise in our heads, & know that He is God. Thriving: Trusting god for life to the fullest.
good one hon. I'm so sorry you're hurting more though. I am too but mine's cause of the weather I think... Love you!
Thank you for all the added info as I know you have a lot on your mind today and a lot to do.
I really appreciated all that you posted!!
muscle relaxer to help....but even so it took awhile for the pain to back down to a dull roar.
actually the last month or two, I have even gone for as long as 6 hours without waking!!!!
The psalmist asks the Lord to come quickly when he calls. I know I often feel that way....come quickly Lord ( even tho I know He is already here) but sometimes, it feels 'rude' and like I am trying to tell God what to do, but its not really what I am trying to do....its more that I need Him so desperately sometimes.
Aha I know v. 3 I have prayed it before to help me from gossip....I haven't prayed it in awhile, and I think I really need to.
Gossip sometimes, seem to just slip in like melted butter, so easily that I feel I really do need a 'guard' on my mouth.
Well, as easy as 'gossip' can be, sometimes, even doing wrong can slide on in, like a runner slipping into home base. And so like the psalmist I ask the Lord to not let my heart be drawn into evil wrong doing.
v. 5 reminds me that to be rebuked by a brother or a sister is a kindness, because sometimes I am too easy on myself ( self pity, making excuses, and the like.
In v. 8 the psalmist asks not to be given over to death and I still have to remind myself that I will not really ever die....my body may ( if I am not raptured first), but the real 'me' will not die...either way, I will be with the Lord Jesus.
and to ask the Lord to keep me safe from them, as the psalmist did.
Good one! Yes, those who are unsaved are children of Satan whether we like to think of it that way or not. And we've been told that Satan lays traps and snares for us. Since he's their father, they do the things he does, and they too will lay snares and traps for us.
AV 1873 | But mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord: In thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
NASB95 | For my eyes are toward You, O GOD, the Lord; In You I take refuge; do not leave me defenseless.
NET | Surely I am looking to you, O sovereign LORD. In you I take shelter. Do not expose me to danger!
You can skip to Psalm144 now if you'd like to.
