◄ “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” ►

I was brought low, and He saved me. § Blessed be the Lord, because He has heard the voice of my supplications! The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. § Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God. § He led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city for a dwelling place. § Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

“When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?” So they said, “Nothing.” § Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
