PSALM 94 THE LORD WIPES OUT WICKEDNESS
19 When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
20 Can wicked rulers be allied with you,
those who frame injustice by statute?
21 They band together against the life of the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the LORD has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 He will bring back on them their iniquity
and wipe them out for their wickedness;
the LORD our God will wipe them out. – Psalm 94:19-23

WHEN THE CARES OF MY HEART ARE MANY by ILMA
When the cares of my heart are many and overwhelming
The Lord cheers my soul pouring me with much blessings
Though it may feel so tiring and discouraging, he brings peace
When so much evil attack me, I can surely run to Him.
When the cares are so much, I can be assured of his presence
He promised never to leave me nor allow evil to be victorious
The Lord is my rock and my sanctuary; in him, I am strong
He will retrieve back all that the enemy has stolen.
When trials and sufferings plague me and I feel discouraged
I will press on to remember that it will help me to endure more
Even the evil that is used against me will also be used for his good
He may allow a little suffering but He’ll punish all evil and the fools.
When I am surrounded by plots and schemes of the devil
The Lord will surely put an end to all those who perpetuate evil
He will never allow his beloved people to be defeated
He is a stronghold and protector to all who live in righteousness.
