You Will Not Forsake My Soul - Psalm 16-18

You Will Not Forsake My Soul

[3] As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight. 

[Psa 16:3 LSB]

[7] I will bless Yahweh who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. 

[Psa 16:7 LSB]

What Does It Mean to Bless God?

[8] I have set Yahweh continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
[Psa 16:8 LSB]

[10] For You will not forsake my soul to Sheol; You will not give Your Holy One over to see corruption. [Psa 16:10 LSB]

[24] "But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. 

[25] "For David says of Him, 'I SAW THE LORD CONTINUALLY BEFORE ME; BECAUSE HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN. 

[26] 'THEREFORE MY HEART WAS GLAD AND MY TONGUE EXULTED; MOREOVER MY FLESH ALSO WILL LIVE IN HOPE; 

[27] BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT FORSAKE MY SOUL TO HADES, NOR GIVE YOUR HOLY ONE OVER TO SEE CORRUPTION. 

[28] 'YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE; YOU WILL MAKE ME FULL OF GLADNESS WITH YOUR PRESENCE.' 

[Act 2:24-28 LSB]

 

In the Shadow of Your Wings

[8] Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings 

[Psa 17:8 LSB]

[10] "He found him in a desert land, And in the howling waste of a wilderness; He encircled him; He cared for him; He guarded him as the pupil of His eye. 

[Deu 32:10 LSB]

[2] Keep my commandments and live, And my law as the apple of your eye. 

[Pro 7:2 LSB]

[8] For thus says Yahweh of hosts, "After glory He has sent Me against the nations which have taken you as spoil, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye. 

[Zec 2:8 LSB]

[14] From men with Your hand, O Yahweh, From men of the world, whose portion is in [this] life, And whose belly You fill with Your treasure; They are satisfied with children, And leave their excess to their infants. 
[Psa 17:14 LSB]

[15] As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; I will be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake.
[Psa 17:15 LSB]

[4] How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near [to You] That he would dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.
[Psa 65:4 LSB]

[21] who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by His working through which He is able to even subject all things to Himself.
[Phl 3:21 LSB]

[2] Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not been manifested as yet what we will be. We know that when He is manifested, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
[1Jo 3:2 LSB]

 

Yahweh Is My Rock and My Fortress

[1] For the choir director. Of the servant of Yahweh, of David, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. 

He said, "I love You, O Yahweh, my strength."
[2] Yahweh is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
[Psa 18:1-2 LSB]

[3] I call upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies. 

[Psa 18:3 LSB]

[16] He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. [Psa 18:16 LSB]

[10] And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she named him Moses and said, "Because I drew him out of the water." 

[Exo 2:10 LSB]

[15] And he said to me, "The waters which you saw where the harlot sits, are peoples and crowds and nations and tongues. 

[Rev 17:15 LSB]
