² For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

⁹ I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

⁷ The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

¹² And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord.

²⁴ Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

³¹ But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

⁷ O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

¹⁴ For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

⁷ Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
