Sayings From the Psalms

The Lord is the strength of my life ; of whom shall I be afraid ?
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out
of all his troubles.
The young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but they that seek
the Lord shall not want any good thing.
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of
many wicked.
The meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in
the abundance of peace.

righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

within me.

where she may lay her young.
0 sing unto the Lord a new song, for he hath done marvellous
things ; with trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise
before the King. Let the sea roar, the world, and they that dwell
therein ; let the clouds clap their hands ; let the hills be joyful to-
gether before the Lord, for he cometh to judge the earth. With
righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

blind ; the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down ; the Lord loveth
the righteous ; the Lord preserveth the strangers ; he relieveth
the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turneth
upside down.
They Shall Mount Up with Wings as Eagles
T TAST thou not known ? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting
JtjL God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,
neither is weary ? There is no searching of his understanding. He
giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he
increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and
the young men shall utterly fall, but they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength ; they shall mount up with wings as eagles,
they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah
