Psalm 42:5

Why are you downcast, O my soul?  Why so disturbed within me?  Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior.

NLT:  Why am I discouraged?  Why is my heart so sad?  I will put my hope in God!  I will praise him again—my Savior and my God!

2 Corinthians 13:4

For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God’s power.  Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him to serve you.

NLT:  Although he was crucified in weakness, he now lives by the power of God.  We, too, are weak, just as Christ was, but when we deal with you we will be alive with him and will have Gods power.

Jeremiah 31:25

“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.”

NLT:  “For I have given rest to the weary and joy to the sorrowing.”
