Teth 65 You have dealt well with your servant, O Yahweh, according to your word. 66 Teach me good discernment and knowledge, for I believe your commands. 67 Before I was afflicted, I was going astray, but now I heed your word. 68 You are good and do good; teach me your statutes. 69 The arrogant smear me with lies; I keep your precepts with my whole heart. 70 Their heart is insensitive like fat; As for me, I take delight in your law. 71 It is good for me that I was afflicted, so that I might learn your statutes…
+ 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 26:1-3, 8-12
Psa 26:1 Vindicate me, O LORD,
for I have walked in my integrity,
and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
Psa 26:2 Prove me, O LORD, and try me;
test my heart and my mind.
Psa 26:3 For your steadfast love is before my eyes,
and I walk in your faithfulness.
Psa 26:8 O LORD, I love the habitation of your house
and the place where your glory dwells.
Psa 26:9 Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
Psa 26:10 in whose hands are evil devices,
and whose right hands are full of bribes.
Psa 26:11 But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
redeem me, and be gracious to me.
Psa 26:12 My foot stands on level ground;
in the great assembly I will bless the LORD.

Teth
65 You have dealt well with your servant,
O Yahweh, according to your word.
66 Teach me good discernment and knowledge,
for I believe your commands.
67 Before I was afflicted, I was going astray,
but now I heed your word.
68 You are good and do good;
teach me your statutes.
69 The arrogant smear me with lies;
I keep your precepts with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is insensitive like fat;
As for me, I take delight in your law.
71 It is good for me that I was afflicted,
so that I might learn your statutes.
72 The law of your mouth is better to me
than thousands of gold and silver coins.
Yod
73 Your hands have made me and established me;
give me understanding that I may learn your commands.
74 Those who fear you will see me and be glad,
because I hope in your word.
75 I know, O Yahweh, that your judgments are right,
and that in faithfulness you afflicted me.
76 Please let your loyal love comfort me,
according to your word to your servant.
77 Let your mercies come to me, that I may live,
for your law is my delight.
78 Let the arrogant be put to shame,
because they have wronged me with lies.
As for me, I will meditate on your precepts.
79 Let those who fear you turn to me,
even those who know your testimonies.
80 May my heart be blameless in your statutes,
so that I may not be ashamed.
