+ DAILY PRAYER +
24 Pour out your indignation on them, and let your burning anger overtake them. 25 Let their camp be desolate. Let none dwell in their tents, 26 because they persecute those whom you, yourself, have struck, and they tell of the pain of those you have wounded. 27 ?Add guilt on top of their guilt?, and do not let them ?be acquitted?. 28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and let them not be recorded with the righteous…
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 31:1-2, 23-24
Psa 31:1 In you, O LORD, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me!
Psa 31:2 Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily!
Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!
Psa 31:23 Love the LORD, all you his saints!
The LORD preserves the faithful
but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.
Psa 31:24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the LORD!
Reading for Wednesday February 5th Psalm 69:24-70:5
24 Pour out your indignation on them,
and let your burning anger overtake them.
25 Let their camp be desolate.
Let none dwell in their tents,
26 because they persecute those whom you, yourself, have struck,
and they tell of the pain of those you have wounded.
27 ?Add guilt on top of their guilt?,
and do not let them ?be acquitted?.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living,
and let them not be recorded with the righteous.
29 But as for me, though I am afflicted and pained,
your salvation will protect me, O God.
30 I will praise the name of God in song,
and magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 For Yahweh it will be better than an ox or bull,
horned and hoofed.
32 The afflicted will see and rejoice.
O God seekers, let your heart revive,
33 because Yahweh hears the needy
and does not despise his own who are prisoners.
34 Let heavens and earth praise him,
the seas and all that moves in them,
35 because God will save Zion
and build the cities of Judah,
that they may dwell there and possess it.
36 And the offspring of his servants will inherit it,
and those who love his name will abide in it.
A Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies
70 For the music director. Of David. To bring to remembrance.
1 O God, make haste to deliver me.
O Yahweh, make haste to help me.
2 Let them be ashamed and abashed
who seek my life.
Let them be repulsed and humiliated
who desire my harm.
3 let them turn back because of their shame,
those who say, “Aha! Aha!”
4 Let them rejoice and be glad in you,
all those who seek you.
Let them say continually, “God is great!”
those who love your salvation.
5 But I am poor and needy;
O God hasten to me.
You are my help and my deliverer.
O Yahweh, do not delay.

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.
