+ 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 114
Psa 114:1 When Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
Psa 114:2 Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
Psa 114:3 The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back.
Psa 114:4 The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.
Psa 114:5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
Psa 114:6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?
Psa 114:7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
Psa 114:8 who turns the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water.
Reading for Thursday April 24th Psalm 119:17-32
Gimel
17 Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live
and heed your word.
18 Uncover my eyes, that I may look at
wonderful things from your law.
19 I am a sojourner on the earth;
do not hide your commands from me.
20 My soul is crushed with longing
for your ordinances at all times.
21 You rebuke the arrogant, the accursed,
who stray from your commands.
22 ?Remove from? me scorn and contempt,
for I have kept your testimonies.
23 Even though princes sit and speak against me,
your servant meditates on your statutes.
24 Your testimonies are my delight,
?my counselors?.
Daleth
25 My soul clings to the dust;
revive me according to your word.
26 I told of my ways, and you answered me;
teach me your statutes.
27 Make me understand the way of your precepts,
that I may meditate on your wonderful things.
28 My soul weeps because of grief;
strengthen me according to your word.
29 Remove from me the deceptive way,
and graciously give me your law.
30 I have chosen the faithful way;
I have set your ordinances before me.
31 I cling to your testimonies;
O Yahweh, do not let me be put to shame.
32 I will run the way of your commands,
for you will enlarge my heart.
