The word for today

 


The Lord is my light and my salvation
The Lord is the strength of my life
The Lord is my light and my salvation
The Lord is the strength of my life
So I will not be afraid
No I will not be afraid
Because the Lord is my light
The Lord is my light
The Lord is my light

In the day of trouble He will hide me
He will keep me safe
He will guide me through

In the darkest hour He will keep me
Evil has no power
When He shelters me





YOU, God, showered abundant rain;
YOU revived your inheritance when it languished.

How happy is the one who does not
walk in the advice of the wicked
or stand in the pathway with sinners
or sit in the company of mockers!
Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.
He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams
that bears its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.

Help, Lord, for no faithful one remains;
the loyal have disappeared from the human race.
They lie to one another;
they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts.
May the Lord cut off all flattering lips
and the tongue that speaks boastfully.

A song of ascents:
I lift my eyes to you,
the one enthroned in heaven.
Like a servant’s eyes on his master’s hand,
like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand,
so our eyes are on the Lord our God
until he shows us favor.

Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,
for we’ve had more than enough contempt.


Psalm 68:9, 1:1-3, 12:1-3, and 123:1-3
