Genesis 19:19 Cross References - ISV

¹⁹ “Your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me your gracious love in how you have dealt with me by keeping me alive. I cannot escape to the hills, because I’m afraid the disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die.

¹³ Please say that you are my sister, so things will go well for me for your sake. That way, you’ll be saving my life.”

¹⁷ When that happens, my anger will burn against them, because they will have abandoned me. I’ll hide my face from them, they will be consumed, and many evils and distresses will find them. When this happens, they will say, ‘These troubles have happened to us because God isn’t among us.’

¹ David Escapes to Philistine TerritoryDavid told himself, “One of these days I’ll perish by Saul’s hand. There is nothing better for me to do than to escape to Philistine territory. Saul will give up searching for me anymore within the borders of Israel, so I’ll escape from him.”

⁹ They will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD their God, who brought their ancestors out of the land of Egypt, and they adopted other gods and served them. That’s why the Lord has brought all of this disaster on them.’”

¹ To the Director: By the servant of the LORD, David, who spoke the words of this song to the LORD on the day when the LORD delivered him from the hands of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
Gratitude for Victory He said: “I love you, Lord, my strength. ² The LORD is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my God, my stronghold in whom I take refuge, my shield, the glory of my salvation, and my high tower.” ³ I cried out to the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I was delivered from my enemies. ⁴ The cords of death entangled me; the rivers of Belial made me afraid. ⁵ The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me. ⁶ In my distress I cried to the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his Temple he heard my voice; my cry reached his ears. ⁷ The world shook and trembled; the foundations of the mountains quaked, they shook because he was angry. ⁸ In his anger smoke poured out of his nostrils, and consuming fire from his mouth; coals were lit from it. ⁹ He bent the sky and descended, and darkness was under his feet. ¹⁰ He rode upon a cherub and flew; he soared upon the wings of the wind. ¹¹ He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy surrounding him was dark waters and thick clouds. ¹² The brightness before him scattered the thick clouds, with hail stones and flashes of fire. ¹³ Then the LORD thundered in the heavens, and the Most High sounded aloud, calling for hail stones and flashes of fire. ¹⁴ He shot his arrows and scattered them; with many lightning bolts he frightened them. ¹⁵ Then the channels of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were uncovered because of your rebuke, LORD, because of the blast from the breath of your nostrils. ¹⁶ He reached down and took me; he drew me from many waters. ¹⁷ He delivered me from my strong enemies, from those who hated me because they were stronger than I. ¹⁸ They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support. ¹⁹ He brought me out to a spacious place; he delivered me, for in me he takes delight.
²⁰ God’s Reward to the RighteousThe LORD will reward me because I am righteous; because my hands are clean he will restore me; ²¹ because I have kept the ways of the LORD, and I have not wickedly departed from my God; ²² because all his judgments were always before me, and I did not cast off his statutes. ²³ I was upright before him, and I kept myself from iniquity. ²⁴ So the LORD restored me according to my righteousness, because my hands were clean in his sight. ²⁵ To the holy, you show your gracious love, to the upright, you show yourself upright; ²⁶ to the pure, you show yourself pure, and to the morally corrupt, you appear to be perverse. ²⁷ Indeed, you deliver the oppressed, but you bring down those who exalt themselves in their own eyes. ²⁸ For you, LORD, make my lamp shine; my God enlightens my darkness. ²⁹ With your help I will run through an army, with help from my God I leap over walls. ³⁰ As for God, his way is upright; the word of God is pure; he is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
³¹ The Acts of God for the RighteousFor who is God but the LORD, and who is a Rock other than our God?— ³² the God who clothes me with strength, and who makes my way upright; ³³ who makes my feet swift as the deer; who makes me stand on high places; ³⁴ who teaches my hands to make war, and my arms to bend a bronze bow. ³⁵ You have given to me the shield of your deliverance, and your right hand holds me up; your gentleness made me great. ³⁶ You make a broad place for my steps, so my feet won’t slip. ³⁷ I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn around until they were utterly defeated. ³⁸ I struck them down, so they are not able to rise up; they fell under my feet. ³⁹ You clothed me with strength for war; you will subdue under me those who rise up against me. ⁴⁰ You have made my enemies turn their back to me, and I will destroy those who hate me. ⁴¹ They cried out for deliverance, but there was no one to deliver; they cried out to the LORD, but he did not answer them. ⁴² I ground them like wind-swept dust; I emptied them out like dirt in the street. ⁴³ You rescued me from conflict with the people; you made me head of the nations. People who did not know me will serve me. ⁴⁴ When they hear of me, they will obey me; foreigners will submit to me. ⁴⁵ Foreigners will wilt away; they will come trembling out of their stronghold. ⁴⁶ The LORD lives! Blessed be my Rock! May the God of my deliverance be exalted! ⁴⁷ He is the God who executes vengeance on my behalf; who destroys peoples under me; ⁴⁸ who delivers me from my enemies. Truly you will exalt me above those who oppose me; you will deliver me from the violent person. ⁴⁹ Therefore, I will give thanks to you among the nations, LORD; I will sing praises to your name. ⁵⁰ He is the one who gives victories to his king; who shows gracious love to his anointed, to David and his seed forever.

¹ To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.
Prayer for Help and Praise to God I waited expectantly for the LORD, and he took notice of me and heard my cry. ² He plucked me out of a pit of confusion, even out of the quicksand; he placed my feet on a rock and established my steps. ³ He put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God! Many will watch and be in awe, and they will place their trust in the LORD. ⁴ How blessed is that strong person who places his trust in the LORD, and who has not acknowledged the proud nor resorted to lies. ⁵ LORD, my God, You have done great things: marvelous works and your thoughts toward us. There is no one who compares to you! I will try to recite your actions, even though there are too many to number. ⁶ You take no delight in sacrifices and offerings— you have prepared my ears to listen— you require no burnt offerings or sacrifices for sin. ⁷ Then I said, “Here I am! I have come! In the scroll of the book it is written about me. ⁸ I delight to do your will, my God. Your Law is part of my inner being.” ⁹ In the great congregation I have proclaimed the righteous good news. Behold, I did not seal my lips, LORD, as you know. ¹⁰ I have not ignored your righteousness in my heart; instead, I have proclaimed your faithfulness and deliverance. I have not concealed your gracious love and truthfulness from the great congregation. ¹¹ LORD, do not withhold your mercy from me, for your gracious love and truthfulness will keep me safe continuously. ¹² Innumerable evils have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me so that I cannot see. They are more in number than the hair on my head, and my courage has forsaken me. ¹³ Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me; LORD, hurry up and help me! ¹⁴ May those who seek to destroy my life be ashamed and confounded; let them be driven backwards and humiliated, particularly those who wish me evil. ¹⁵ Let shame be the reward for those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” ¹⁶ Let all who seek you shout for joy and be glad in you. May those who love your deliverance say, “The LORD be magnified!” continuously. ¹⁷ But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think about me. You are my help and deliverer. My God, do not tarry too long!

⁷ Will the Lord reject me forever and not show favor again? ⁸ Has his gracious love ceased forever? Will his promise be unfulfilled in future generations? ⁹ Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger withheld his compassion? Interlude ¹⁰ So I say: “It causes me pain that the right hand of the Most High has changed.” ¹¹ I will remember the LORD’S deeds; indeed, I will remember your awesome deeds from long ago.

¹ Davidic
Praise God, who Forgives Bless the LORD, my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. ² Bless the LORD, my soul, and never forget any of his benefits: ³ He continues to forgive all your sins, he continues to heal all your diseases, ⁴ he continues to redeem your life from the Pit, and he continuously surrounds you with gracious love and compassion. ⁵ He keeps satisfying you with good things, and he keeps renewing your youth like the eagle’s. ⁶ The LORD continuously does what is right, executing justice for all who are being oppressed. ⁷ He revealed his plans to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel. ⁸ The LORD is compassionate and gracious, patient, and abundantly rich in gracious love. ⁹ He does not maintain a dispute continuously or remain angry for all time. ¹⁰ He neither deals with us according to our sins, nor repays us equivalent to our iniquity. ¹¹ As high as heaven rises above earth, so his gracious love strengthens those who fear him. ¹² As distant as the east is from the west, that is how far he has removed our sins from us. ¹³ As a father has compassion for his children, so the LORD has compassion for those who fear him. ¹⁴ For he knows how we were formed, aware that we were made from dust. ¹⁵ A person’s life is like grass— it blossoms like wild flowers, ¹⁶ but when the wind blows through it, it withers away and no one remembers where it was. ¹⁷ Yet the LORD’s gracious love remains throughout eternity for those who fear him and his righteous acts extend to their children’s children, ¹⁸ to those who keep his covenant and to those who remember to observe his precepts. ¹⁹ The LORD has established his throne in heaven and his kingdom rules over all. ²⁰ Bless the LORD, you angels who belong to him, you mighty warriors who carry out his commands, who are obedient to the sound of his words. ²¹ Bless the LORD, all his heavenly armies, his ministers who do his will. ²² Bless the LORD, all his creation, in all the places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, my soul.

¹ The Unfaithfulness of God’s People Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, since he is good, for his gracious love exists forever. ² Who can fully describe the mighty acts of the LORD or proclaim all his praises? ³ How happy are those who enforce justice, who live righteously all the time. ⁴ Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to your people. Visit us with your deliverance, ⁵ to witness the prosperity of your chosen ones, to rejoice in your nation’s joy, to glory in your inheritance. ⁶ We have sinned, along with our ancestors; we have committed iniquity and wickedness. ⁷ In Egypt, our ancestors neither comprehended your awesome deeds nor remembered your abundant gracious love. Instead, they rebelled beside the sea, the Reed Sea. ⁸ He delivered for the sake of his name, to make his power known. ⁹ He shouted at the Reed Sea and it dried up; and led them through the sea as though through a desert. ¹⁰ He delivered them from the power of their foe; redeeming them from the power of their enemy. ¹¹ The water overwhelmed their enemies, so that not one of them survived. ¹² Then they believed his word and sung his praise. ¹³ But they quickly forgot his deeds and did not wait for his counsel. ¹⁴ They were overwhelmed with craving in the wilderness, so God tested them in the wasteland. ¹⁵ God granted them their request, but sent leanness into their lives. ¹⁶ They were envious of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron, the holy one of the LORD. ¹⁷ The earth opened and swallowed Dathan, closing over Abiram’s clan. ¹⁸ Then a fire burned among their company, a flame that set the wicked ablaze. ¹⁹ They fashioned a calf at Horeb and worshipped a carved image. ²⁰ They exchanged their glory with the image of a grass-eating bull. ²¹ They forgot God their Savior, who performed great things in Egypt— ²² awesome deeds in the land of Ham, astonishing deeds at the Reed Sea. ²³ He would have destroyed them but for Moses, his chosen one, who stood in the breach before him to avert his destructive wrath. ²⁴ They rejected the desirable land, and they didn’t trust his promise. ²⁵ They murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to the voice of the LORD. ²⁶ So he swore an oath concerning them— that he would cause them to die in the wilderness, ²⁷ to cause their children to perish among the nations and be scattered among many lands. ²⁸ For they adopted the worship of Baal Peor and ate sacrifices offered to the dead. ²⁹ They had provoked anger by their deeds, so that a plague broke out against them. ³⁰ But Phinehas intervened and prayed so that the plague was restrained. ³¹ And it was credited to him as a righteous act, from generation to generation—to eternity. ³² They provoked wrath at the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered on account of them. ³³ For they rebelled against him, so that he spoke thoughtlessly with his lips. ³⁴ They never destroyed the people, as the LORD had commanded them. ³⁵ Instead, they mingled among the nations and learned their ways. ³⁶ They worshipped their idols, and this became a trap for them. ³⁷ They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons. ³⁸ They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters— whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, thereby polluting the land with blood. ³⁹ Therefore, they became unclean because of what they did; they have acted like whores by their evil deeds. ⁴⁰ The LORD’s anger burned against his people, so that he despised his own inheritance. ⁴¹ He turned them over to domination by nations where those who hated them ruled over them. ⁴² Their enemies oppressed them, so that they were humiliated by their power. ⁴³ He delivered them many times, but they demonstrated rebellion by their evil plans; therefore they sunk deep in their sins. ⁴⁴ Yet when he saw their distress and heard their cries for help, ⁴⁵ he remembered his covenant with them, and so relented according to the greatness of his gracious love. ⁴⁶ He caused all their captors to show compassion toward them. ⁴⁷ Deliver us, LORD our God, gather us from among the nations so we may praise your holy name and rejoice in praising you. ⁴⁸ Blessed are you, LORD God of Israel, from eternity to eternity; Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah!

¹ God, My Deliverer I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy; ² for he listens to me whenever I call. ³ The ropes of death were wound around me and the anguish of Sheol came upon me; I encountered distress and sorrow. ⁴ Then I called on the name of the LORD, “LORD, please deliver me!” ⁵ The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate; ⁶ the LORD watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me. ⁷ Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously. ⁸ Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling. ⁹ I will walk in the LORD’s presence in the lands of the living. ¹⁰ I will continue to believe, even when I say, “I am greatly afflicted” ¹¹ and speak hastily, “All people are liars!” ¹² What will I return to the LORD for all his benefits to me? ¹³ I will raise my cup of deliverance and invoke the LORD’s name. ¹⁴ I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people. ¹⁵ In the sight of the LORD, the death of his faithful ones is valued. ¹⁶ LORD, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant. I am the son of your handmaid. You have released my bonds. ¹⁷ I will bring you a thanksgiving offering and call on the name of the LORD! ¹⁸ I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

²⁵ They went to him and woke him up. “Lord!” they cried, “Save us! We’re going to die!”
²⁶ He asked them, “Why are you afraid, you who have little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

¹⁹ Jesus told them, “You unbelieving generation! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me!”

³¹ Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s LoveWhat, then, can we say about all of this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord overflowed toward me, along with the faith and love that are in the Messiah Jesus. ¹⁵ This is a trustworthy saying that deserves complete acceptance: To this world Messiah came, sinful people to reclaim. I am the worst of them. ¹⁶ But for that very reason I received mercy, so that in me, as the worst sinner, the Messiah Jesus might demonstrate all of his patience as an example for those who would believe in him for eternal life.
