Turn to me and have mercy,
for I am alone and in deep distress.

but they will fail.
For I am with you,
and I will take care of you.
I, the Lord, have spoken!

Hear and give ear:
Do not be proud,
For the Lord has spoken.
- NKJV

"I planted the seed in your hearts,
and Apollos watered it,
but it was God who made it grow.

or who does the watering.
What's important is that God makes the seed grow.

Beloved,
do not avenge yourselves,
but rather give place to (God's) wrath;

I will repay."

- NKJV

I took my troubles to the Lord;
I cried out to Him, and He answered my prayer.
Rescue me, O Lord,
from liars and from all deceitful people.

O deceptive tongue,
what will God do to you?
How will He increase your punishment?

You will be pierced with sharp arrows
and burned with glowing coals.

How I suffer among these scoundrels of Meschech!
It pains me to live with these people from Kedar!
I am tired of living here
among people who hate peace.
As for me, I am for peace;
but when I speak, they are for war!

Let the heads of those who surround me
be covered with the trouble their lips have caused.

Let burning coals fall upon them;
may they be thrown into the fire,
into miry pits,
never to rise.
-NIV

Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;

for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

but speak,
and do not keep silent;
for I am with you,
and no one will attack you to hurt you;
for I have many people in this city.

they shall come out against you one way
and flee before you seven ways.

I look but there is no one -
no one among them to give counsel,
no one to give answer when I ask them.

See, they are all false!
Their deeds amount to nothing;
their images are but wind and confusion.

He has watched over your journey through this vast desert.

and I will answer you,
and show you great and mighty things,
which you do not know.

Take control of what I say,
O Lord,
and guard my lips.

Don't let me drift toward evil
or take part in acts of wickedness.

Don't let me share in the delicacies
of those who do wrong.
-NLT

Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you;
give justice to those with honest hearts.
Don't let the proud trample me
or the wicked push me around.

They are thrown down,
never to rise again.

And in you
all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun:
I saw the tears of the oppressed -
and they have no comforter;

And I declared that the dead,
who had already died,
are happier than the living,
who are still alive.
- NIV

Wait for the Lord and keep His way,
and He will exalt you to inherit the land.
You will watch when the wicked are destroyed.

... do not be afraid of them or their words,
though briers and thorns are beside you
and you live among scorpions.

or be discouraged by the look on their faces,
for they are a rebellious house.

But speak My words to them whether they listen or refuse to listen,
for they are rebellious.
