The Lord goes before me; He will [march] with me; Hewill not fail me or let me go or forsake me; I will fearnot, neither become broken [in spirit—depressed,dismayed, and unnerved with alarm].—DEUTERONOMY 31:8God is my shield, my glory and the lifter of my head.—PSALM 3:3The eyes of the Lord are on me, and His ears are opento my cry. . . . When I cry out, the Lord hears, anddelivers me out of all my troubles.—PSALM 34:15, 17 (NKJV)I WAITED patiently and expectantly for the Lord; andHe inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me upout of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and ofdestruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime),and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps andestablishing my goings. And He has put a new song inmy mouth, a song of praise to our God.—PSALM 40:1-3Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why areyou crying the blues? I fix my eyes on God and soon I’llbe praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He’s myGod.—PSALM 42:5 (THE MESSAGE)When my soul is cast down within me I remember theLord and His goodness to me. . . . He commands Hisloving-kindness in the daytime, and in the night Hissong shall be with me—a prayer to the God of mylife. . . . I say to myself, “Why are you cast down, O mysoul? And why are you disquieted within me? I hope inGod; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of mycountenance and my God.”—PSALM 42:6, 8, 11 (NKJV)I will cry to God with my voice, and He will give earand hearken to me. In the day of my trouble I seek(inquire of and desperately require) the Lord.—PSALM 77:1-2Because I have set my love upon the Lord, He willdeliver me; He will set me on high, because I know andunderstand His name [I have a personal knowledge ofHis mercy, love, and kindness—I trust and rely onHim, knowing that He will never forsake me, no,never]. I shall call upon Him, and He will answer me;He will be with me in trouble, He will deliver me andhonor me. With long life will [the Lord] satisfy me andshow me His salvation.—PSALM 91:14-16I fear not, for I shall not be ashamed; neither will I beconfounded and depressed, for I shall not be put toshame.—ISAIAH 54:4I ARISE [from the depression and prostration in whichcircumstances have kept me—I arise to a new life]!
