staff they comfort me.

are
the
afflictions
of the
righteous:

all
his
bones:
not
one of
them
is
broken.

10 Blessed are they
which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven.

when men shall revile you, and

manner of evil against you
falsely, for my sake. 12Rejoice,
and be exceeding glad: for great
is your reward in heaven: for so
persecuted they the prophets which
were before you.

things work together for good to
them that love God, to them who
are the called according to his
purpose.

35 Who shall separate
us from the love of Christ? shall
tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36As it is written, For
thy sake we are killed all the day
long; we are accounted as sheep
for the slaughter. 37Nay,
in all these things we are more
than conquerors through him that
loved us. 38For I am
persuaded, that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor
things present, nor things to
come, 39Nor height, nor
depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:35-39)

trouble he shall hide me in his
pavilion: in the secret of his
tabernacle shall he hide me; he

lifted up above mine enemies round
about me: therefore will I offer
in his tabernacle sacrifices of
joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing
praises unto the LORD.

the LORD had been my help, my soul

(Ecclesiastes 4:1)
For
thou
hast
been a
strength
to the
poor,
a
strength
to the
needy
in his
distress,
a
refuge

heat,
when
the
blast
of the
terrible
ones
is as
a
storm
against
the
wall.

confounded: therefore have I set
my face like a flint, and I know
that I shall not be ashamed.

justifieth me; who will contend
with me? let us stand together:
who is mine adversary? let him
come near to me. 9Behold, the Lord GOD
will help me; who is he that shall
condemn me? lo, they all shall wax
old as a garment; the moth shall
eat them up. 10Who is among you that
feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the
voice of his servant, that walketh
in darkness, and hath no light?
let him trust in the name of the
LORD, and stay upon his God.

are worth more than many sparrows.

shall separate you from their
company, and shall reproach you,
and cast out your name as evil,
for the Son of man's sake. 23Rejoice ye in that day,
and leap for joy: for, behold,
your reward is great in heaven:
for in the like manner did their
fathers unto the prophets.
(Luke 6:21-23)

are blessed, for the Spirit of
glory and of God rests on you.
