Adonai-Nissi
Psalm 20
1 For the music director, a psalm of David.
2 May Adonai answer you in the day of trouble!
May the Name of the God of Jacob set you up securely on high.
3 May He send you help from the Sanctuary
and support you from Zion.
4 May He remember all your meal offerings
and accept the fat of your burnt offering. Selah
5 May He grant you your heart’s desire
and fulfill all your plans.
6 We will shout for joy in your victory
and lift up our banners in the Name of our God!
May Adonai fulfill all your petitions.
7 Now I know that Adonai saves His anointed.
He answers him from His holy heaven with saving strength of His right hand.
8 Some have chariots, some have horses,
but we remember the Name of Adonai our God.
9 They have collapsed and fallen,
but we rise up and support each other.
10 Adonai, save the king!
Answer us on the day we call!
Trust the Rock of Ages
26 In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a strong city.
He appoints salvation
as its walls and ramparts.
2 Open the gates![a]
Let the righteous nation enter—
one that keeps faith.
3 You keep in perfect peace
one whose mind is stayed on You,
because he trusts in You.
4 Trust in Adonai forever,
for the LORD Adonai is a Rock of ages.
5 For He humbles those dwelling on high,
leveling the lofty city,
leveling it to the ground,
bringing it down to the dust.
6 Feet will trample it down,
feet of the afflicted,
the footsteps of the poor.
7 The way of the righteous is straight.
Upright One, You make smooth the path of the righteous.
8 Yes, in the way of Your judgments,
Adonai, we have waited for You.
Your Name and Your remembrance
is the desire of our soul.
9 My soul longs for You at night,
yes, my spirit within me seeks You.
For when Your judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. [a] 17 For our trouble, light and momentary, is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.
