+ 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 51:1-9
Psa 51:1 Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.
Psa 51:2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!
Psa 51:3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Psa 51:4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.
Psa 51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Psa 51:6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
Psa 51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Psa 51:8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
Psa 51:9 Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.
Reading for Friday June 27th Prov 11:18-31
18 The wicked earns ?deceptive gain?,
but he who sows righteousness, a ?true reward?.
19 He who is steadfast in righteousness is to life
as he who pursues evil is to death.
20 An abomination of Yahweh are the ?crooked of heart?,
but his delight are ?those with blameless ways?.
21 ?Rest assured?, the wicked will not go unpunished,
but the offspring of the righteous will escape.
22 A ring of gold in the snout of a pig
is a woman who is beautiful but without discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good,
but the expectation of the wicked, wrath.
24 There is one who gives yet ?grows richer?,
but he who withholds ?what is right? only finds need.
25 A person of blessing will be enriched,
and he who gives water also will be refreshed.
26 He who withholds grain, the people curse him,
but a blessing is for the head of him who sells.
27 He who diligently seeks good seeks favor,
but he who inquires of evil, it will come to him.
28 He who trusts in his wealth is he who will fall,
but like a green leaf the righteous will flourish.
29 He who brings trouble to his household, he will inherit wind,
and a fool will serve the wise of heart.
30 The fruit of righteousness is a tree of life,
and he who captures souls is wise.
31 If the righteous on earth will be repaid,
?how much more? the wicked and sinner.
