"He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities." --- Psalm 130:8.
"O the hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble." --- Jeremiah 14:8.
"In wrath remember mercy." --- Habakkuk 3:2.
Despair not, O my soul, in any tribulation or conflict, as it were impossible to overcome it. The all-healing word of God contains advice and comfort for all cases. The Lord being my helper in adversity, and able to turn the sharpest afflictions into the greatest blessings, he would never smite or withhold something from thee, if he was not also willing to heal, and give thee something better in its place.
O Lord, I trust thou wilt carry me through all difficulties. Though my misery and weakness were ever so great, yet there is nothing too great for thee; it is alone to thee to help in great and little distresses; nay, the more I am surrounded with grief and weakness, the more thou wilt pity, spare and nourish me, as a tender mother does the least of all her children; and the more occasion there will be to display thy mighty salvation. The sharper and longer my distress and conflicts have been, the nearer, greater, and sweeter, I trust, will also be my salvation; for the same Lord who has said I shall not be tried above measure, has also engaged to lead me on conquering, till at length all my enemies are subdued.
There's full redemption, at his throne,
For sinners long enslaved;
The great Redeemer is his Son,
And Israel shall be saved.
