Psalm 33
[1] Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
[2] Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
[3] Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
[4] For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.
[5] He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
[6] By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
[7] He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
[8] Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
[9] For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
[10] The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
[11] The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
[12] Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
[16] There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
[17] An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
Hebrews 9[27] And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
II Kings 6[15] And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
[16] And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
[17] And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
II Chronicles 7[14] If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Psalm 127[1] Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Psalm 34[15] The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
Psalm 9[17] The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Psalm 144[12] That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
[13] That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
[14] That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
[15] Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.This message delivered by Pastor Derrick Burrus on Sunday, July 4, 2010, during the
