If you are there, with me, when others have departed, I shall feel myself faithfully accompanied; if you remain there, when pride desires to confuse me and take me away from you, I shall rest humbly and confidently in your arms.
If you do not abandon me in the midst of conflict, I will safely look upon my life in peace and tranquility; if at my side you persist, when the selfishness of the one in whom I have trusted overwhelms and unveils me, I will sleep peacefully. If you take me by the hand, when I imagine the uncertain and dark future, at your side I will walk firmly, contemplating your light; if when I cry because my soul cannot bear anguish, you embrace it, I will feel freedom in my being.
If in the affliction of my body, I feel your pure and faithful hand, I will rise by your power.
For all this and much more, I am convinced that if you are at my side, all will be perfectly well!
Psalm 73:25 NKJV
25 Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
Psalm 4:8 NKJV
8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 91:15 NKJV
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
Psalm 23:4 NKJV
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Psalm 42:1-2 NKJV
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
