For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.
The complete collection
For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.
As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.
I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more. The first things have passed away.”
for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.
Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.
But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
“To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be
Formerly, I thought that death was wearing out,--I stood ramparted about with so many healthy friends.
Whatsoever thwarts, or puts me out of my way, brings death into my mind.
As death, therefore, is hanging over our head every hour, how can a man ever be unshaken in soul if he fears it?
Now, old age is as it were the playing out of the drama, the full fatigue of which we should shun, especially when we also feel that we have had more than enough of it.
Fear proceeds from the same things when absent which occasion grief when present.
