Hear a just cause, O LORD. Attend to my cry. Give ear to my prayer. Wondrously show your steadfast love as I seek refuge in you. I am beloved and kept, hidden in the shadow of your wings. My enemies seek violence. They close their hearts to pity. They speak arrogantly to cast me to…
Preserve me, O God, because you are my refuge. I have no good apart from your lordship. You multiply the sorrows of those who run after other gods. You do not accept their drink offerings of blood; and their names are not known to you. You are my chosen portion. You hold my lot. I…
Father God, you are near. You hold my heart. Guide my steps to honor you. Show me how walk blamelessly and do what is right. Keep me from slander and reproach against a friend. Teach me to speak only truth and to use my assets to glorify your name. May I never be moved away…
Almighty and Everlasting God, the fool says in his heart that you are not. He is corrupt and perpetrates evil deeds. You look down on the children of man to see if there are any who understand, any who seek you. Have they no knowledge of you, these who eat up your people like bread…
Lord, have you forgotten us? Do you turn your face away from us in our iniquity? Forgive us, for we sin against you. Your face remains consistently upon us; we are the ones who have moved away from you. We trample truth in the streets. We forget our legacy as beings created in your image….
O LORD, where are the godly? Have the faithful among men vanished? Everyone utters lies and speaks from a double heart. Father God, cut off those with flattering lips, who boast of their power, who have no moral guidance. The poor get plundered. The needy groan. Arise, LORD, place the trodden in your safety where…
Father God, I run to you. Your throne is in heaven. You are in control. The wicked throw their projectiles, flinging their evil; they shoot in the dark at the upright in heart. You test the righteous, but you hate the wicked and the ones who love violence. Fire and sulfur and a scorching wind…
Almighty God, do you hide yourself in times of trouble? Do you stand far away and watch the wicked pursue the poor? He seizes the poor when he draws them into his net. The mouth of the wicked is filled with deceit, mischief and iniquity. He sits in ambush in the villages and murders the…
I give thanks to you with my whole heart, LORD. You maintain my just cause. You are enthroned forever established for justice. You judge the world for righteousness and the people for uprightness. You are my stronghold in times of trouble. I put my trust in you. I rejoice in your salvation. Arise, O LORD,…
O, LORD, our LORD, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have established strength out of the mouths of babies and infants to still your foes. I see the heavens and the works of your hands, and I wonder how a Mighty God like you can desire relationship with someone small as…
