Psalm 63:2 

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.

NLT:  I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory.

Isaiah 40:10-11 

See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and his arm rules for him.  See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.  He tends his flock like a shepherd:  he gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.

NLT:  Yes, the Sovereign Lord is coming in power.  He will rule with a powerful arm.  See he brings his reward with him as he comes. 

He will feed his flock like a shepherd.  He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart.  He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.

Psalm 139:7-10

Where can I go from your Spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence?  If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.  If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

NLT:  I can never escape from your Spirit!  I can never get away from your presence!  If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.  If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.
