Philippians 3:8-9

Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—

Psalm 10:17

17 O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted;
you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear

Psalm 42:1-2

Book Two

Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?

To the choirmaster. A Maskil [1] of the Sons of Korah.

42 As a deer pants for flowing streams,
so pants my soul for you, O God.
 2 My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God? [2]

Psalm 42:5

 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation [3]

Psalm 42:11

11 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.
