God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect.

By my power I will make my people strong, and by my authority they will go wherever they wish. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

He will give a longing for justice to their judges. He will give great courage to their warriors who stand at the gates.

You have armed me with strength for the battle; you have subdued my enemies under my feet.

Then I will give you good judges again and wise counselors like you used to have. Then Jerusalem will again be called the Home of Justice and the Faithful City.”

Though hostile nations surrounded me, I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.Yes, they surrounded and attacked me, but I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.They swarmed around me like bees; they blazed against me like a crackling fire. But I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord.My enemies did their best to kill me, but the Lord rescued me.The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.

Anyone who opposes you will die and come to nothing.You will look in vain for those who tried to conquer you. Those who attack you will come to nothing.For I hold you by your right hand— I, the Lord your God. And I say to you,‘ Don’t be afraid.

“ I will strengthen Judah and save Israel; I will restore them because of my compassion. It will be as though I had never rejected them, for I am the Lord their God, who will hear their cries.

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

Tell everyone about God’s power. His majesty shines down on Israel; his strength is mighty in the heavens.God is awesome in his sanctuary. The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!

Your leaders are rebels, the companions of thieves. All of them love bribes and demand payoffs, but they refuse to defend the cause of orphans or fight for the rights of widows.

Look, a righteous king is coming! And honest princes will rule under him.

For the Lord has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has closed the eyes of your prophets and visionaries.

Now I know that the Lord rescues his anointed king. He will answer him from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power.Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.

The Lord’s voice will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth will shake. But the Lord will be a refuge for his people, a strong fortress for the people of Israel.

I will never abandon the descendants of Jacob or David, my servant, or change the plan that David’s descendants will rule the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Instead, I will restore them to their land and have mercy on them.”

These sections of land will be the prince’s allotment. Then my princes will no longer oppress and rob my people; they will assign the rest of the land to the people, giving an allotment to each tribe.“ For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Enough, you princes of Israel! Stop your violence and oppression and do what is just and right. Quit robbing and cheating my people out of their land. Stop expelling them from their homes, says the Sovereign Lord.

Each time he said,“ My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Listen to the Lord, you leaders of“ Sodom.” Listen to the law of our God, people of“ Gomorrah.”

I will exchange your bronze for gold, your iron for silver, your wood for bronze, and your stones for iron. I will make peace your leader and righteousness your ruler.

They will have their own ruler again, and he will come from their own people. I will invite him to approach me,” says the Lord,“ for who would dare to come unless invited?

My heart is with the commanders of Israel, with those who volunteered for war. Praise the Lord!
