Psalms 39–41: Woes & Wonders
I waited, waited for Yahweh;
And He turned and listened to my cry.
Truth For The Heart
I waited, waited for Yahweh;
And He turned and listened to my cry.
“What a help you are
to the one without power!
How you have saved
the arm without strength!
What counsel you have given
to one without wisdom!”
It is from Yahweh
that a person’s steps are established,
and He delights in his way.
“Do not be afraid, for am I in God’s place?
As for you, you meant evil against me,
but God meant it for good
in order to do what has happened
on this day, to keep many people alive.”
“But to this one I will look,
To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.”
But He knows the way I take;
When He has tested me,
I shall come forth as gold.”
He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the lovingkindness
of Yahweh.
Then Samuel took a stone
and set it between Mizpah and Shen,
and he named it Ebenezer. And he said,
“Thus far Yahweh has helped us.”
“A Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,” declares Yahweh.
