Gloria Copeland — The Lord Gives Strength To The Weak

Psalm 41:1-2
KJV—Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
The Lord will preserve him, and keep him
alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth:
and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of
his enemies.
AMP—Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied)
is he who considers the weak and the poor;
the Lord will deliver him in the time of evil
and trouble. The Lord will protect him and
keep him alive; he shall be called blessed in
the land; and You will not deliver him to the
will of his enemies.
Psalm 109:30-31
KJV—I will greatly praise the Lord with my
mouth…. For he shall stand at the right hand
of the poor, to save him from those that
condemn his soul.
AMP—I will give great praise and thanks to
the Lord with my mouth…. For He will stand at
the right hand of the poor and needy, to save
him from those who condemn his life.
Moffatt—I will give thanks aloud to the
Eternal…for he supports a helpless man, to
save him from his persecutors.
Isaiah 25:4
KJV—For thou hast been a strength to the
poor, a strength to the needy in his distress,
a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the
heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as
a storm against the wall.
AMP—For You have been a stronghold for
the poor, a stronghold for the needy in his
distress, a shelter from the storm, a shade from
the heat; for the blast of the ruthless ones is
like a rainstorm against a wall.
NIV—You have been a refuge for the poor, a
refuge for the needy in his distress, a shelter
from the storm and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm
driving against a wall.
NAS—For You have been a defense for
the helpless, a defense for the needy in his
distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from
the heat; for the breath of the ruthless is like a
rain storm against a wall.
Isaiah 40:28-29
KJV—The Lord…giveth power to the faint; and
to them that have no might he increaseth
strength.
AMP—The Lord…gives power to the faint
and weary, and to him who has no might He
increases strength [causing it to multiply and
making it abound].
Moffatt—The Eternal…never faints, never is
weary, his insight is unsearchable; into the
weary he puts power, and adds new strength
to the weak.
NIV—The Lord…gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Daniel 10:18-19
KJV—There came again and touched me
one like the appearance of a man, and he
strengthened me, and said, O man greatly
beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be
strong, yea, be strong. And when he had
spoken unto me, I was strengthened.
AMP—There touched me again one whose
appearance was like that of a man, and he
strengthened me. And he said, O man greatly
beloved, fear not! Peace be to you! Be strong,
yes, be strong. And when he had spoken to
me, I was strengthened.
Moffatt—One in the likeness of a man again
touched me and strengthened me, saying, “O
man greatly loved by God, fear not; all good
be yours; be strong, be brave.” At his words I
gained strength.
NIV—Again the one who looked like a man
touched me and gave me strength. “Do not
be afraid, O man highly esteemed,” he said.
“Peace! Be strong now; be strong.” When he
spoke to me, I was strengthened.
