The LORD Will Not Abandon HIS People

"Fortunate the one YOU correct, O YAHWEH, the one YOU teach YOUR law;

YOU give them relief from distress, while a pit is dug for the wicked.

YAHWEH will not reject HIS people, nor will HE forsake HIS heritage.

Justice will return to the just; and the upright will follow, in its wake.

Who stands up for me against the wicked?  Who stands by me against the evildoers?

Had YAHWEH not helped me, I would have fallen into the silence of death.

No sooner did I say, 'My foot is slipping,' YOUR kindness, O YAHWEH, held me up."

- Psalm 94:12-18

(We must sometimes ask ourselves 'is it all worthwhile?'  Religion doesn't seem to make much difference, certainly doesn't seem to make us any happier.  But in spite of all difficulties, we know that GOD does care.  HE has redeemed us.  And if we believe in redemption, then, we must believe in judgment.  HE cares for us, and HE cares about us: what people do does matter.  But the difficulties are still there, and we need this vehement act of faith in GOD who cares.)
