The Path of the Righteous and the Path of the Wicked Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh; he takes great delight in his commands. 2 His ?descendants? will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. 4 His light rises in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious and compassionate and righteous. 5 It goes well for a man who is gracious and lends, who conducts his ?business properly?…
+ DAILY PRAYER +
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you;
He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 88:3-9
Psa 88:3 For my soul is full of troubles,
and my life draws near to Sheol.
Psa 88:4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
I am a man who has no strength,
Psa 88:5 like one set loose among the dead,
like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom you remember no more,
for they are cut off from your hand.
Psa 88:6 You have put me in the depths of the pit,
in the regions dark and deep.
Psa 88:7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Selah
Psa 88:8 You have caused my companions to shun me;
you have made me a horror to them.
I am shut in so that I cannot escape;
Psa 88:9 my eye grows dim through sorrow.
Every day I call upon you, O LORD;
I spread out my hands to you.

The Path of the Righteous and the Path of the Wicked
112 Praise Yah!
Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh;
he takes great delight in his commands.
2 His ?descendants? will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.
4 His light rises in the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5 It goes well for a man who is gracious and lends,
who conducts his ?business properly?.
6 For he will not be shaken forever;
the righteous ?will be remembered forever?.
7 He is not afraid of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, secure in Yahweh.
8 His heart is sustained; he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his enemies.
9 ?He gives lavishly? to the needy;
his righteousness endures forever.
His horn rises high in honor.
10 The wicked sees it and is vexed.
He gnashes his teeth and ?becomes weak?.
The desire of the wicked perishes.
