Portion for reading : Psalms 64-66Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint;
protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim their words like deadly arrows.
They encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;
they say, "Who will see them?"
He will turn their own tongues against them
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD
and take refuge in him;
let all the upright in heart praise him!
Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion;
to you our vows will be fulfilled.
Blessed are those you choose
and bring near to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of your house,
of your holy temple.
You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness,
O God our Savior,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas,
You drench its furrows
and level its ridges;
you soften it with showers
and bless its crops.
You crown the year with your bounty,
and your carts overflow with abundance.
The grasslands of the desert overflow;
the hills are clothed with gladness.
Shout with joy to God, all the earth!
All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you,
they sing praise to your name." Selah
He turned the sea into dry land,
they passed through the waters on foot—
come, let us rejoice in him.
He rules forever by his power,
his eyes watch the nations—
let not the rebellious rise up against him. Selah
You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.
I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;
but God has surely listened
and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld his love from me!
