Psalm 61

Psalm 61

61 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

David cries to God and asks God to be present while he tells Him his problems.

2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Where is the end of the earth?  I guess we can say it is at our wit's end or the end of our ropes.  My heart is full.  Lead me in the truth beyond my understanding.

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

You were my hiding place yesterday and a lookout for all who came against me.

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

I will stay in your Word at all times.  I will trust in the hidden spot under your protection.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

You heard me when I said I want you to be Lord of my life.  You have given me what you promised Abraham.

6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

I will live the life of a king and may God allow my generation to reign.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

David prophesys the coming of the Christ.  Tell mercy and truth to always look after my son.  

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

When I sing I do my job better.  I will do my job and sing while I do it.

Brendaonline.com Jeremiah 38:1-28 (KJV)  1 Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,  4 men heard the words of Jeremiah. 2 Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.  If you surrender to the Babylonians you will live and if you do not you will die. 3 Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.  The Lord without a doubt said the city will be taken over by Babylon's army. 4 Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the peo...

Brendaonline.com 121  I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. I will purposely fix my eyes in the Word of God, where God lives.  I know this is where I will find help. 2  My help cometh from the  Lord , which made heaven and earth. My help comes from the Word of God. 3  He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. There will never be a reason for me to look elsewhere.  God is always alert . 4  Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Watch what God did for Israel, His has not changed. 5  The  Lord  is thy keeper: the  Lord  is thy shade upon thy right hand. The Lord keeps what is His.  The Lord protects us at all times when we are doing right. 6  The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. Nothing day or night will hurt me. 7  The  Lord  shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. Th...

Isaiah 43

Brendaonline.com Isaiah 43:1-28 (KJV)  1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine. Israel backslid and the Lord is speaking to them while they are serving time.  2 When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.  Whatever hard times you have, I will be with you. 3 For I [am] the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.  I destroyed Egypt, Ethiopia, and Seba to get to you.  In other words, I paid a high price to get back who was mind. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.  Other...
