8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. 2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. 3 And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. 4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. 5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. 6 Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.

12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
As if he cannot find sufficient expression to indicate his love for God, the psalmist engages in a lively series of epithets for the Lord. The Lord is my rock. The Lord is a dwelling place among the crags, (Heb sela˓). And my fortress (cf. 144:2). This is a fortified, though natural, stronghold. And my deliverer. Not just an inanimate defense, but a living protector. My God, the personal divine being who holds my future. My strength (lit., “my rock,” as translated in Ex 17:6; 33:21–22; Deut 32:4, 15, 18, 31; etc., cf. Isa 26:4). Here it is a firm rock, an unchangeable rock, a symbol of strength. My buckler, both an offensive and defensive weapon to shield from the arrow or the sword. And the horn of my salvation, an emblem of strength. As the means of attack or defense in some of the strongest animals, the horn is a frequent emblem of power (cf. Deut 33:17; Lk 1:69). And my high tower is a rocky citadel well beyond the reach of the enemy; and from its heights, one who abides therein may confidently survey a crumbling world around him. It is a worthy observation that these epithets for God start with the rock beneath our feet and end with the high tower above our heads, i.e., those who trust in the Lord are equipped with God’s provision from head to toe

4–5. The situation of the psalmist was grave indeed. Engulfed by The sorrows of death (lit., the cord of death), surrounded by ungodly men (lit., sons of Belial), and chased by The sorrows of hell (lit., the cords of Sheol), there was nowhere to turn but to God. Spurgeon observes, “From all sides the hell-hounds barked furiously. A cordon of devils hemmed in the hunted man of God; every way of escape was closed up. Satan knows how to blockade our coasts with the iron war-ships of sorrow, but, blessed be God, the port of all prayer is still open.…”
6–15. David did the only thing he could do, that which he was in the habit of doing. In my distress I called upon the LORD. In reaction to Jehovah’s hearing the prayer of the psalmist, the earth shook and trembled, an event not without precedent in this land. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils. This is an Oriental way of expressing fierce wrath. The entire description is designed to depict the majesty of God who bowed the heavens also, and came down to help his child
