The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

Psalm 10

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

Why, O Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

But you do see! Indeed, you note trouble and grief, that you may take it into your hands; the helpless commit themselves to you; you have been the helper of the orphan.

Psalm 20

Prayer for Victory

To the leader. A Psalm of David.

The Lord answer you in the day of trouble! The name of the God of Jacob protect you!

Do not be far from me, for trouble is near, and there is no one to help.

Relieve the troubles of my heart, and bring me out of my distress.

Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins.

Redeem Israel, O God, out of all its troubles.

For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock.

You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah

Psalm 34

Praise for Deliverance from Trouble

Of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away.

I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

This poor soul cried and was heard by the Lord and was saved from every trouble.

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and rescues them from all their troubles.

The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; he is their refuge in the time of trouble.

Psalm 41

Assurance of God’s Help and a Plea for Healing

To the leader. A Psalm of David.

Happy are those who consider the poor; the Lord delivers them in the day of trouble.

Psalm 43

Prayer to God in Time of Trouble

Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people; from those who are deceitful and unjust, deliver me!

Psalm 46

God’s Defense of His City and People

To the leader. Of the Korahites. According to Alamoth. A Song.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of my persecutors surrounds me,

Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”

For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.

Attend to me and answer me; I am troubled in my complaint. I am distraught

by the noise of the enemy, because of the clamor of the wicked. For they bring trouble upon me, and in anger they bear a grudge against me.

Day and night they go around it on its walls, and iniquity and trouble are within it;

those that my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.

You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again.
