This Is my Prayer

I WILL bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My life makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble and afflicted hear and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience], On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness,To rescue their lives from death And keep them alive in famine.

Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, favored by God] is he whose transgression is forgiven, And whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute wickedness, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

How great is Your goodness, Which You have stored up for those who [reverently] fear You, Which You have prepared for those who take refuge in You, Before the sons of man! In the secret place of Your presence You hide them from the plots and conspiracies of man; You keep them secretly in a shelter (pavilion) from the strife of tongues. Blessed be the Lord, For He has shown His marvelous favor and...

In You, O Lord, I have placed my trust and taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed; In Your righteousness rescue me.

You will draw me out of the net that they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength an...

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5 Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day. For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all me...

“Hear, O Lord, be gracious and show favor to me; O Lord , be my helper.”You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever. - Psalm 30:10-12

Teach me Your way, O Lord, And lead me on a level path Because of my enemies [who lie in wait].I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord . - Psalm 27:11,13-14

Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty and majesty of His holiness [as the creator and source of holiness].The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty. The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; The Lord will bless His...

I do not sit with deceitful or unethical or worthless men, Nor seek companionship with pretenders (self-righteous hypocrites).I hate the company of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked. I will wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O Lord,That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders. O Lord, I love the habitation of Your house And the...

Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity; I have [relied on and] trusted [confidently] in the Lord without wavering and I shall not slip.

Blessed be the Lord, Because He has heard the voice of my supplication. The Lord is my strength and my [impenetrable] shield; My heart trusts [with unwavering confidence] in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I shall thank Him and praise Him. The Lord is their [unyielding] strength, And He is the fortress of salvation to His anointed. - Psalm 28:6-8

The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: tha...
