Psalms 43:2

⁷The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

⁹I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

¹⁰Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

³¹but those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

¹⁴For the LORD won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

⁹But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.

⁹You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

¹²I will strengthen them in the LORD. They will walk up and down in his name,” says the LORD.

²⁴They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in the LORD.’” Even to him will men come. All those who raged against him will be disappointed.

⁷LORD, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
