He Comforts Us

Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and proclaim to her that her
hard service has been completed,
that her sin has been paid for,
that she has received from
the LORD's hand double for all her sins.

Isaiah 40:1,2 NIV


Though the LORD be high,
yet hath he respect unto the lowly:
but the proud he knoweth afar off.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
thou wilt revive me:
thou shalt stretch forth thine hand
against the wrath of mine enemies,
and thy right hand shall save me.

Psalm 138:6,7 KJV


"The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, every man to his home, and will leave me alone; yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

John 16:32,33 RSV
