Psalms 43:2-
5 For thou [
art]
the God of my strength:
why dost thou cast me off?
why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? ... Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, [
who is] the
health of my countenance, and my God.

Psalms 63:5-

with]

night] watches.
Psalms 73:12-
16 Behold,
these [
are] the ungodly, who
prosper in the world;
they increase [

too painful for me;
Psalms 77:2-
10 In the day of
my trouble I sought the Lord: my
sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. ... And I said, This [
is] my infirmity: [
but I will remember]
the years of the right hand of the most High.
Jeremiah 20:7-
11 O LORD, thou hast
deceived me, and I was deceived:
thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed:
I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me. ... But the LORD [
is] with me as
a mighty terrible one: therefore
my persecutors shall stumble,
and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: [
their]
everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
Habakkuk 3:16-
18 When
I heard,
my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself,
that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people,
he will invade them with his troops. ... Yet
I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in
the God of my salvation.

5 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace
wherein we stand,
and rejoice in hope of
the glory of God. ... And
hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is
shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
2 Corinthians 1:4-
5 Who
comforteth us in all our tribulation,
that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. ... For
as the sufferings of Christ abound in us,
so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
1 Peter 1:7-
8 That
the trial of your faith, being much more
precious than of gold
that perisheth, though it be
tried with fire,
might be found unto praise and honour and glory
at the appearing of Jesus Christ: ... Whom
having not seen,
ye love; in whom, though now ye see [
him] not, yet
believing, ye rejoice with joy
unspeakable and
full of glory:
