Thanksgiving for God’s Future Help
75 For the music director, according to Do Not Destroy.
A psalm of Asaph. A song.
1 We give thanks to you, O God;
we give thanks, and your name is near.
Your wonderful deeds are told.
2 “I will indeed set an appointed time;
I will judge fairly.
3 The earth and all its inhabitants are shaking;
I steady its columns. Selah
4 I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast!’
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn!
5 Do not lift up high your horn.
Do not speak with ?arrogant pride?.’ ”
6 For it is not from the east or the west
and not from the south that lifting up comes,
7 rather God is the judge;
one he brings low, and another he lifts up.
8 For there is a cup in the hand of Yahweh
with wine that foams, fully mixed,
and he pours out from this.
Surely all the wicked of the land
?will quaff it down to its dregs?.
9 But as for me, I will proclaim forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10 “And all the horns of the wicked I will cut off.
The horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
Lord’s Prayer
Daily Prayer
Triune God, whose very name is holy, teach us to be faithful hearers and learners of Your Word, fervent in the Spirit as Apollos was, that we may teach it correctly against those who have been led astray into falsehood and error and that we might follow the example of Aquila and Priscilla for the good of the Church You established here and entrusted into our humble care; for You, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, live and reign, one God, 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.
