The United States At 250 - Day 2

   The Lord Has Destroyed Without Pity 2  How the Lord in his anger     has set the daughter of Zion under a cloud! He has cast down from heaven to earth     the splendor of Israel; he has not remembered his footstool     in the day of his anger. 2  The Lord has swallowed up without mercy     all the habitations of Jacob; in his wrath he has broken down     the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; he has brought down to the ground in dishonor     the kingdom and its rulers. 3  He has cut down in fierce anger     all the might of Israel; he has withdrawn from them his right hand     in the face of the enemy; he has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob,     consuming all around. 4  He has bent his bow like an enemy,   ...

Psalm 18:1–50 (NASB95): PSALM 18 The Lord Praised for Giving Deliverance. 0 For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said,   1 “I love You, O Lord, my strength.”   2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,  My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;  My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.   3 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,  And I am saved from my enemies.   4 The cords of death encompassed me,  And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me.   5 The cords of Sheol surrounded me;  The snares of death confronted me.   6 In my distress I called upon the Lord,  And cried to my God for help;  He heard my voice out of His temple,  And my cry for help before Him came into His ...
