Psalm 18:4-19
KJV—The sorrows of death compassed me,
and the floods of ungodly men made me
afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me
about: the snares of death prevented me. In
my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried
unto my God: he heard my voice out of his
temple, and my cry came before him, even into
his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled;
the foundations also of the hills moved and
were shaken, because he was wroth. There
went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire
out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled
by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came
down: and darkness was under his feet. And
he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he
did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made
darkness his secret place; his pavilion round
about him were dark waters and thick clouds
of the skies. At the brightness that was before
him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and
coals of fire. The Lord also thundered in the
heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail
stones and coals of fire. Yea, he sent out his
arrows, and scattered them; and he shot
out lightnings, and discomfited them. Then
the channels of waters were seen, and the
foundations of the world were discovered at
thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath
of thy nostrils. He sent from above, he took
me, he drew me out of many waters. He
delivered me from my strong enemy, and
from them which hated me: for they were too
strong for me. They prevented me in the day
of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. He
brought me forth also into a large place; he
delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Psalm 31:1-2
KJV—O Lord...Bow down thine ear to me;
deliver me speedily.
AMP—O Lord...Bow down Your ear to me,
deliver me speedily!

me, delay not to deliver me.
NIV—O Lord...Turn your ear to me, come
quickly to my rescue.

Kenneth Copeland — Never Alone, Part 1
You are not the part-time focus of God’s
attention. You are His delight and the full-time
object of His affection. Israel’s King David wrote,
“Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under
the shadow of thy wings” (Psalm 17:8). That’s the
heart of your heavenly Father.
His promises to Abraham and Moses show that
man’s well-being is God’s number one concern.
He sent His own Son, Jesus, to take every curse
of the Law on His own body for us, so that we
could walk in all the benefits of God’s protection,
wholeness and prosperity. From beginning to end,
He tells you in His Word how much He loves
you by demonstrating how protective He is of
His people.
God is not someone who is hard to get hold
of when you get in trouble. He is not someone
who can’t hear you call out His Name when
you have a need. In fact, He is waiting for those
who will take His promises seriously. For the
sake of His Word and His Name, He will rush
to the aid of those who call on Him. He wants
to be involved in securing our lives not only in
heaven, but also while we live down here.
So don’t ever accept the lie that you are
alone and forgotten. The Lord knows right
where you are.
Trust Him, turn to Him, give Him an
opportunity to prove His love for you in time of
trouble—He’ll shake heaven and hell to deliver
you and bring you to a place of safety.
Psalm 3:4-5
NIV—To the Lord I cry aloud, and he answers
me from his holy hill. Selah. I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
AMP—With my voice I cry to the Lord, and
He hears and answers me out of His holy hill.
Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! I lay
down and slept; I wakened again, for the Lord
sustains me.
Moffatt—When I call out to the Eternal, he
answers me from his sacred hill. I laid me
down to sleep, and this morning I waken, for
the Eternal upholds me.
KJV—I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and
he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid
me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord
sustained me.
