This is one of my favorite Psalms that never ceases to minister to my heart and soul (King James version):

Psalm 30
(A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David)

I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up,
and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou has healed me.

O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave:
thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his,
and give thanks at the remembrances of his holiness.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life:
weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:
thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?

Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD be thou my helper.

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:
thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever.

[hopealwayz]

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he
sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that
nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit
will reap eternal life."
-- Galatians 6:7-8

[hopealwayz]

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so
that you can stand up under it.

[nightingale]

Hopealwayz - Thx, I always enjoy the Psalms - they're so honest and filled with so much raw emotion that I am hard-pressed to not find His comfort and empathy there for one as broken as I. Also, thanks for the other Scriptures you've shared - you've no idea how timely they are to me; bless you for being used of Him to bring light to a fellow traveller along the Way.

Speaking of Psalms, let me please share another that has been working its way into my heart recently...

Psalm 130
(A Song of Ascent)

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

If thou, O LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

My soul waiteth for the LORD more than they that watch for the morning:
I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy,
and with him is plenteous redemption.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

[Hope]

I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor
demons, neither present nor the future, nor powers, neither height
nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to
separate us from the love of God that is ours in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
-- Romans 8:38-39
