Psalm 4 (KJV)


1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.





2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity (pride, arrogance), and seek after leasing (loaning themselves out) Selah.





3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.





4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.





5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.



6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance (face) upon us.





7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.





8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.

Feeling Spiritually Zapped, What to Do (Part 2)

Romans 8 (KJV)
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession (mediation, negotiation, the action of intervening on behalf of another.) for us.



35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation (agony), or distress, or persecution (oppression, mistreatment), or famine, or nakedness, or peril (danger, threat), or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

2 Corinthians 12 (KJV)

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities (physical or mental weakness), that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities (physical or mental weakness), in reproaches (address (someone) in such a way as to express disapproval or disappointment.), in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.


11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.


20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes (very angry), backbitings (slander someone in their absence), whisperings, swellings (boasting), tumults (uproar):
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail (correct) many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness (lewdness) which they have committed.

Peace / Psalm 4 (KJV)

1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing (being used)? Selah.
3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.



5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.




6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance (a person's face or facial expression.) upon us.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.




8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.

Isaiah 25 (KJV)

1 O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.





2 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.






4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

Psalm 118 (KJV)

1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.





4 Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.




5 I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.





6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?



8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.




9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.




14 The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.





17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.



19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:
20 This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.




29 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Isaiah 41 (KJV)

1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.




9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded (angered): they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended (struggled) with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought (nothing).
13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.




17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.




18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.




19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:
20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
