Psalm 139:7-12 Part 2 of 3

I can never escape from your Spirit!

    I can never get away from your presence!

If I go up to heaven, you are there;

    if I go down to the grave, you are there.

If I ride the wings of the morning,

    if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

even there your hand will guide me,

    and your strength will support me.

I could ask the darkness to hide me

    and the light around me to become night--

    but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.

To you the night shines as bright as day.

    Darkness and light are the same to you. 

     

If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.

Psalm 23:2-3

He lets me rest in green meadows;

    he leads me beside peaceful streams.

    He renews my strength.

He guides me along right paths,

    bringing honor to his name.  (see all Psalm 23) 

Psalm 108:6  

Now rescue your beloved people.

    Answer and save us by your power. 

Psalm 108:12-13  

Oh, please help us against our enemies,

    for all human help is useless.

With God's help we will do mighty things,

    for he will trample down our foes.  (see all Psalm 108)

Isaiah 41:8-10  

"But as for you, Israel my servant,

    Jacob my chosen one,

    descended from Abraham my friend,

I have called you back from the ends of the earth,

    saying, 'You are my servant.' 

For I have chosen you

    and will not throw you away.

Don't be afraid, for I am with you.

    Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you.

    I will hold you up with my victorious right hand."  (see all Isaiah 41)
