Gloria Copeland — The Lord Is My Refuge
Psalm 91:9-10, 14-16
KJV—Because thou hast made the Lord,
which is my refuge, even the most High, thy
habitation; there shall no evil befall thee,
neither shall any plague come nigh thy
dwelling…Because he hath set his love upon
me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him
on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver
him, and honour him. With long life will I
satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
Amp—Because you have made the Lord
your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling
place, There shall no evil befall you, nor
any plague or calamity come near your
tent…Because he has set his love upon Me,
therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on
high, because he knows and understands
My name [has a personal knowledge of My
mercy, love and kindness; trusts and relies
on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no,
never]. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer
him; I will be with him in trouble, I will
deliver him and honor him. With long life will
I satisfy him, and show him My salvation.
Psalm 103:1-5
KJV—Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that
is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the
Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who
healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth
thy life from destruction; who crowneth
thee with loving kindness and tender
mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good
things; so that thy youth is renewed
like the eagle’s.
Amp—Bless—affectionately, gratefully
praise—the Lord, O my soul, and all that is
[deepest] within me, bless His holy name!
Bless—affectionately, gratefully praise—the
Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all
His benefits, Who forgives [every one of] all
your iniquities, Who heals [each of] all your
diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit
and corruption; Who beautifies, dignifies and
crowns you with loving-kindness and tender
mercies; Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity
and desire at your personal age] with
good; so that your youth, renewed,
is like the eagle’s [strong, overcoming, soaring]!
Psalm 107:19-21
KJV—Then they cry unto the Lord in their
trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
He sent his word, and healed them,
and delivered them from their destructions.
Oh that men would praise the Lord for his
goodness, and for his wonderful works to
the children of men!
Amp—Then they cry to the Lord in their
trouble, and He delivers them out of their
distresses. He sends forth His word and
heals them and rescues them from the pit
and destruction. Oh, that men would praise
[and confess to] the Lord His goodness and
loving-kindness, and His wonderful works to
the children of men!
Psalm 118:17
KJV—I shall not die, but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
Amp—I shall not die, but live, and declare
the works and recount the illustrious acts of
the Lord.
Moffatt—I shall not die, but live to proclaim
the Eternal’s deeds.
NEB—I shall not die but live to proclaim
the works of the Lord.
