TSK · Nahum 1:7

They received divine help in fighting them, and the Hagrites and all their allies were handed over to them. They cried out to God during the battle; he responded to their prayers because they trusted in him.

That day the Israelites were defeated; the men of Judah prevailed because they relied on the LORD God of their ancestors.

He has with him mere human strength, but the LORD our God is with us to help us and fight our battles!” The army was encouraged by the words of King Hezekiah of Judah.

The LORD sent a messenger and he wiped out all the soldiers, princes, and officers in the army of the king of Assyria. So Sennacherib returned home humiliated. When he entered the temple of his god, some of his own sons struck him down with the sword.

Certainly the LORD guards the way of the godly, but the way of the wicked ends in destruction.

For the music director; by the LORD’s servant David, who sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD rescued him from the power of all his enemies, including Saul. He said:“I love you, LORD, my source of strength!

The LORD is both kind and fair; that is why he teaches sinners the right way to live.

For this reason we do not fear when the earth shakes, and the mountains tumble into the depths of the sea,

As for me, I will sing about your strength; I will praise your loyal love in the morning. For you are my refuge and my place of shelter when I face trouble.

Be my protector and refuge, a stronghold where I can be safe! For you are my high ridge and my stronghold.

In my time of trouble I cry out to you, for you will answer me.

When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him honor.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loyal love endures.

They will proclaim the power of your awesome acts! I will declare your great deeds!

For you are a protector for the poor, a protector for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the rainstorm, a shade from the heat. Though the breath of tyrants is like a winter rainstorm,

Each of them will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from a rainstorm; like streams of water in a dry region and like the shade of a large cliff in a parched land.

Who among you fears the LORD? Who obeys his servant? Whoever walks in deep darkness, without light, should trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.

Once again there will be sounds of joy and gladness and the glad celebrations of brides and grooms. Once again people will bring their thank offerings to the temple of the LORD and will say,“Give thanks to the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. For the LORD is good and his unfailing love lasts forever.” For I, the LORD, affirm that I will restore the land to what it was in days of old.’

Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed,“Praised be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent forth his angel and has rescued his servants who trusted in him, ignoring the edict of the king and giving up their bodies rather than serve or pay homage to any god other than their God!

Then I will declare to them,‘I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!’

“I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me–

Notice therefore the kindness and harshness of God– harshness toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness toward you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

However, God’s solid foundation remains standing, bearing this seal:“The Lord knows those who are his,” and“Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from evil.”
