Selah.  Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.  I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.  I call to remembrance my son in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and spirit make diligent search.  Will the Lord cast off forever?  And will he be favorable no more?  Is his mercy clean gone forever?  Doth his promise (omer) fail for evermore?  Hath God forgotten to be gracious?  Hath thine anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.  And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.  I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.  I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.  Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?  Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.  Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.  The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.  The clouds poured out water, the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.  The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.  Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.  Thou leddest thy people lie a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.”

Psalms 105:42-45 “He remembered his holy promise (dabar), and Abraham his servant.  And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: and gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labor of the people; that they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws.  Praise ye the Lord.”

Ezekiel 13:22-23 “With lies ye (prophets of Israel) have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising (chayah) him life: therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.”
