A Psalm of David.

27 The Lord is my (A)light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?

They stumbled and fell.

Hanani’s Message to Asa

And at that time (A)Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him: (B)“Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand. Were (C)the Ethiopians and (D)the Lubim not a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your (E)hand. (F)For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this (G)you have done foolishly; therefore from now on (H)you shall have wars.”

O Lord, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!”

You have made heaven and earth. 16 (C)Incline Your ear, O Lord, and hear; (D)open Your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, (E)which he has sent to reproach the living God. 17 Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands, 18 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were (F)not gods, but (G)the work of men’s hands—wood and stone. Therefore they destroyed them. 19 Now therefore, O Lord our God, I pray, save us from his hand, (H)that all the kingdoms of the earth may (I)know that You are the Lord God, You alone.”

And whose hope is the Lord.

But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
