Psalm 9:10 • 1 min. read • grade level: 4

Psalm 9:10¹⁰And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. (Psalm 9:10).

How sweet the peace of a perfect trust Isa. 26:8⁸Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. (Isaiah 26:8).

In God’s sure love to me! 1 John 4:16¹⁶And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:16).

I cannot harbor any doubt 1 John 4:18¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18).

Since Jesus died for me! Gal. 2:20²⁰I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)

The love that “spared not His Son!”

Will with Him freely give Rom. 8:32³²He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32).

All that is needful for me here;

And bids me ask and have. Phil. 4:6, 7, 19⁶Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. ⁷And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6‑7)
¹⁹But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19).

God must be true to His own word, John 3:33³³He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. (John 3:33)

Though I may failing be; 2 Tim. 2:18¹⁸Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. (2 Timothy 2:18)

And so I know what e’er betide, Heb. 13:5⁵Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Hebrews 13:5)

“He chooseth best for me.” 2 Sam. 22:31³¹As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. (2 Samuel 22:31)

‘Tis by His grace I have believed, Eph. 2:8⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (Ephesians 2:8)

On His Beloved Son! The Col. 1:12, 18¹²Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: (Colossians 1:12)
¹⁸And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. (Colossians 1:18)

One who suffer’d on the tree. 1 Pet. 2:24²⁴Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:24)

Now seated on the throne! Rev. 3:21²¹To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. (Revelation 3:21)

My trust is in the living God, 1 Tim. 4:10¹⁰For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. (1 Timothy 4:10).

His written word is mine: John 17; 14

Begone! ungrateful doubts and fears, Isa. 12:2²Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. (Isaiah 12:2).

My heart will here recline. Psalm 119:111¹¹¹Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. (Psalm 119:111).

“All things are yours,” for “ye are Christ’s,”

What joy these words afford! Rom. 15:13¹³Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. (Romans 15:13)

Not what I am, but, what lie is,

Makes faith and hope so bold. 1 John 4:17¹⁷Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. (1 John 4:17)

While faith obeys the gracious word, Psalm 62:5⁵My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. (Psalm 62:5)

“Cast all your care on Me.” 1 Pet. 5:7⁷Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (1 Peter 5:7)

Hope brightens with expectancy, Rom. 8:25²⁵But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. (Romans 8:25)

Because “He cares for thee.” Rom. 5:2-5²By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. ³And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; ⁴And patience, experience; and experience, hope: ⁵And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (Romans 5:2‑5)

Then will I trust and never fear, Hab. 3:17, 18¹⁷Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: ¹⁸Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. (Habakkuk 3:17‑18)

Since love so great and free! Eph. 2:19¹⁹Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; (Ephesians 2:19)

Is unto me most surely given: John 16:27²⁷For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. (John 16:27)

“He chooseth best for me.” Psalm 73:24²⁴Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. (Psalm 73:24)
