Into Your hand I commit my spirit You have ransomed me, O LORD, God of truth. You will pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength. Incline Your ear to me, rescue me quickly Be to me a rock of strength, A stronghold to save me.įor You are my rock and my fortress For Your name's sake You will lead me and guide me. In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge Let me never be ashamed In Your righteousness deliver me. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. You have turned for me my mourning into dancing You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, ``Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me O LORD, be my helper." ``What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness? To You, O LORD, I called, And to the Lord I made supplication: O LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong You hid Your face, I was dismayed. Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, ``I will never be moved." Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, And give thanks to His holy name.įor His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning. O LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit. O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me. I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over me. The LORD will give strength to His people The LORD will bless His people with peace. The LORD sat as King at the flood Yes, the LORD sits as King forever. The voice of the LORD makes the deer to calve And strips the forests bare And in His temple everything says, ``Glory!" The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD hews out flames of fire. He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, And Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. The voice of the LORD is powerful, The voice of the LORD is majestic. The voice of the LORD is upon the waters The God of glory thunders, The LORD is over many waters. 121:8).Īscribe to the LORD, O sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.Īscribe to the LORD the glory due to His name Worship the LORD in holy array. What a comfort it is to know that the Lord will guard our steps “from this time and forever” (Ps. 10:13).Ĭhristians are sojourners traveling this earth to reach their heavenly home. What’s more, He has provided a means of escape for every temptation so we can endure it and stay faithful (1 Cor. God’s Holy Spirit directs and empowers us, and His Word lights our path so we do not slip. He watches over our steps and provides everything we need in order to avoid falling into sin. Our loving Father cares for us physically as He guides and guards our path, but His priority is always our spiritual well-being. He never sleeps and is always attentive to our cries for help-even when we can’t sense His presence. Though there were many dangers along the way, they realized help wouldn’t come from anyone but the Lord.ĭo you wonder what dangers lurk in the future? God alone knows what we’ll encounter, and He assures us that because He is our Keeper, we have nothing to fear. Today’s Scripture is one of the psalms sung by the Jews as they journeyed to Jerusalem to celebrate the Lord’s feasts.
