+ DAILY PRAYER +
Thanksgiving for Forgiveness of Sins Of David. A maskil.1 Happy is he whose transgression is taken away, whose sin is covered. 2 Happy is a person to whom Yahweh does not impute iniquity and in whose spirit there is not deceit. 3 When I kept silent, my bones were worn out due to my groaning all the day…
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 149
Psa 149:1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly!
Psa 149:2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
Psa 149:3 Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!
Psa 149:4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
Psa 149:5 Let the godly exult in glory;
let them sing for joy on their beds.
Psa 149:6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats
and two-edged swords in their hands,
Psa 149:7 to execute vengeance on the nations
and punishments on the peoples,
Psa 149:8 to bind their kings with chains
and their nobles with fetters of iron,
Psa 149:9 to execute on them the judgment written!
This is honor for all his godly ones. Praise the LORD!
Reading for Monday December 16th Psalm 32
Thanksgiving for Forgiveness of Sins
32 Of David. A maskil.
1 Happy is he whose transgression is taken away,
whose sin is covered.
2 Happy is a person to whom Yahweh does not impute iniquity
and in whose spirit there is not deceit.
3 When I kept silent, my bones were worn out
due to my groaning all the day.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me.
My vigor was changed into the dry heat of summer. Selah
5 I made known my sin to you, and my iniquity I did not cover.
I said, “I will confess concerning my transgressions to Yahweh,”
and you took away the guilt of my sin. Selah
6 Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
at the time for finding you.
Surely at the flood of many waters they will not reach him.
7 You are my hiding place;
from trouble you preserve me.
With cries of deliverance you surround me. Selah
8 I will instruct you and teach you
in the way that you should go.
I will advise you with my eye upon you.
9 Do not be like a horse or like a mule, without understanding;
that needs his tackle—bridle and rein—for restraint
or he would not come near you.
10 Many are the pains of the wicked,
but for the one who trusts Yahweh
loyal love surrounds him.
11 Be glad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous,
and shout for joy, all you upright of heart.

Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they existed and were created. Give us the faith to behold the majesty of Your presence in simple words, simple water, and simple bread and wine, as You come to us in the very body and blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, now and forever.
Concluding Prayer
Heavenly Father, send Your Holy Spirit into our hearts to direct and rule us to do Your will, to comfort us in all our afflictions, to defend us from all error, and to lead us into all truth; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
