There is comfort in David’s Words:

God!!

In anger they bear a grudge against me.
— Psalm 55:2-3

Give heed to me and answer me;
I am restless in my complaint and am surely distracted,
Because of the voice of the enemy,
Because of the pressure of the wicked;
For they bring down trouble upon me.

For it is not an enemy who reproaches me,
Then I could bear it;
Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me,
Then I could hide myself from him.
But it is you, a man my equal,
My companion and my familiar friend;
We who had sweet fellowship together
Walked in the house of God in the throng.
Let death come deceitfully upon them;
Let them go down alive to Sheol, for evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.

As for me, I shall call upon God,
And the Lord will save me.
Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur,

And He will hear my voice.
— Psalm 55:12-17

He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me,

For they are many who strive with me.
God will hear and answer them⁠—
Even the one who sits enthroned from of old⁠— Selah.
With whom there is no change,
And who do not fear God.
He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him;
He has violated his covenant.
His speech was smoother than butter,
But his heart was war;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.
— Psalm 55:18-21

I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.
“Behold, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah.
“I would hasten to my place of refuge
From the stormy wind and tempest.”
— Psalm 55:6-8

All day long they distort my words;

All their thoughts are against me for evil.

They attack, they lurk,

They watch my steps,

As they have waited to take my life & because of wickedness, cast them forth, In anger put down the peoples, O God!

You have taken account of my wanderings;

Put my tears in Your bottle.
Are they not in Your book?
Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call;
This I know, that God is for me.
In God, whose word I praise,
In the Lord, whose word I praise,
In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

Your vows are binding upon me, O God;
I will render thank offerings to You.
For You have delivered my soul from death,
Indeed my feet from stumbling,
So that I may walk before God
In the light of the living.

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me,
For my soul takes refuge in You; & in the shadow of Your wings…

In the shadow of Your Wings I will take refuge,

Until destruction passes by.
I will cry to God Most High,
To God who accomplishes all things for me.
He will send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches him who tramples upon me. Selah.
God will send forth His lovingkindness and His truth.

My soul is among lions;
I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,
Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows
And their tongue a sharp sword.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.

They have prepared a net for my steps;

My soul is bowed down;
They dug a pit before me;
They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.
— Psalm 56:5 – 57:6

---

My heart is steadfast, O God,

my heart is steadfast;

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
Awake, my glory!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the nations.
For Your lovingkindness is great to the heavens

And Your lovingkindness is Your truth to the clouds.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
— Psalm 57:7-11

In Christ we are in Gods Glory. No matter what happens in this physical realm, if you are in Christ, your soul is protected from the deeds of flesh.

Don’t Give Up!
