But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by my name; thou art mine. When thou pass through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overcome thee: when thou walk through the fire, thou shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee (Isaiah 43:1 – 2).

I saw a great flood. And I was high above it, looking down at the destruction. There was no clean water to drink. And I said, if only they had water filters. But they are a rebellious people who forsake the wisdom of the only wise God of eternal glory who in his mercy send his messenger, that they may take heed, and not perish.

O God of hope and of great mercy, I beseech thee. O LORD, bring forth thy word and forsake not thy good pleasures. Let thy truth come quickly unto thy beloved and let them take heed; for thy mercy endureth forever. And the works of thy hand shall delight our souls. My hope is in thee, O LORD: all thy ways shall profit me. But forsake not thy people: let them eat from thy hand that they may live. O LORD, let mercy prevail. And let us abound in thy glory and lift up thy name, most High.

Praise be his Holy name. Let thy wisdom prevail, O LORD. And let thy right hand be exalted; for thou art excellent before us. In all the earth thy glory shall abound. And the works of thy hand testify to thy glory. Let praises come to thee; for thou art exalted, most High.

To God be glory; for his mercy endureth forever. I will lift up praises unto the LORD; for he has never fail me. He rescued me from the perils of destruction. He is a mighty glory, to behold, and to adore. Let me praise him and exalt his name forever. Let me lift up his name in glory and shew his goodness and mercy to the world. O God, who knows the beginning and the end, let thy glory abound. Thou have shown me thy faithfulness. O Redeemer, my King, in thy hand there is safety. O LORD, let thy right hand keep Israel, forever and ever. Amen. Let the joy of Zion be lifted up. Your glory is upon the holy hill. By thy hand, O LORD, will Israel be saved. O LORD, let my praises come quickly unto thee. On the wings of eagles, let them come and take hold of thee. And let my blessings cleave to thee. They shall be a testament to the joy you have put in my heart. Let them embrace thee and fatten thy heart with joy and gladness, because of thy faithfulness. Thy name is glory. Behold, my glory, I will exalt thee above all names. Thou knowest I will do it; for thou have created me for this purpose. Thou have formed me in my mother’s womb, that I may bring praises unto thee. Behold, take pleasure in thy works. In thy hand will I stand strong: they that rise up against the LORD shall not prevail. Behold, the Mighty God, most High, is my glory. He is my strength, even the strength of my life. My praises will come quickly unto the LORD. O Father, hear thy servant. Hear, the works of thy hand, O Redeemer my God. And let thy glory abound; for thou find pleasure in the works of thy hand. Surely, thou art exalted above the heavens. And thy name is worthy of praise. The LORD is blessed forever and ever. Amen. The LORD is magnified.
