Psalm 94 (KJV)

1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render (provide) a reward to the proud.

3 Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity (wickedness) boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

8 Understand, ye brutish (beasts) among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that chastiseth (disciplines) the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity (arrogant).

12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest (disciplines), O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity (disaster), until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity (wickedness)?
17 Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.

19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

20 Shall the throne of iniquity (wickedness) have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

22 But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge (sanctuary, haven hideaway).
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity (wickedness), and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.

Isaiah 31 (KJV)

1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord!

3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen (the one that was helped) shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

Isaiah 32 (KJV)

1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.

2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert (secret) from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken (listen attentively).
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers (stuttering) shall be ready to speak plainly.

5 The vile (nasty) person shall be no more called liberal (unrestricted), nor the churl (barbarian) said to be bountiful (handsome).

8 But the liberal (unrestricted)  deviseth liberal (open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.) things; and by liberal (unrestricted) things shall he stand.

17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

Psalm 41 (KJV)

1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing (sickness): thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

4 I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more..

Jeremiah 17 (KJV)

5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
6 For he shall be like the heath (heathland is a shrubland habitat found mainly on free-draining infertile, acidic soils, and is characterised by open, low-growing woody vegetation. Moorland is generally related to high-ground heaths with — especially in the British Isles — a cooler and more damp climate.) in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins (temper), even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

Scriptures For Those Who Suffer With Anxiety, Part 3

1 Samuel 28 (KJV)

15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted (make {someone} worried or anxious.) me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.




Psalm 38 (KJV)

8 I am feeble (fragile, helpless) and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness  (worried or anxious.) of my heart.

9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof  (unsympathetic, hard-hearted) from my sore; and my kinsmen (blood relatives) stand afar off.
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares (bait, entrapment, pitfall, noose, trick, booby trap) for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous (naughty, destructive) things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs (disapproval, blame, criticism).
15 For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.





Psalm 42 (KJV)

1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted (worrisome or anxiousness.) in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance (facial expression).

11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted (worrisome or anxiousness.) within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance (facial expression), and my God.



Psalm 43 (KJV)

5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted (worrisome or anxiousness.) within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance (facial expression), and my God.






Proverbs 30 (KJV)

21 For three things the earth is disquieted  (worrisome or anxiousness.), and for four which it cannot bear:
22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
23 For an odious (extremely unpleasant; repulsive.) woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble (weak, frail) folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely (agreeable; suitable.)
 in going:
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
