33 But I will not break off my loyal love from him, and I will not be false against my faithfulness. 34 I will not defile my covenant, or alter what proceeded from my lips. 35 Once I have sworn by my holiness, ‘I will surely not lie to David, 36 His offspring will endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me. 37 Like the moon it will be steadfast forever, and like an enduring witness in the sky.’ ” Selah 38 But you have spurned and rejected; you are very angry with your anointed one…
+ 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 104:1-9
Psa 104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul!
O LORD my God, you are very great!
You are clothed with splendor and majesty,
Psa 104:2 covering yourself with light as with a garment,
stretching out the heavens like a tent.
Psa 104:3 He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters;
he makes the clouds his chariot; he rides on the wings of the wind;
Psa 104:4 he makes his messengers winds,
his ministers a flaming fire.
Psa 104:5 He set the earth on its foundations,
so that it should never be moved.
Psa 104:6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.
Psa 104:7 At your rebuke they fled;
at the sound of your thunder they took to flight.
Psa 104:8 The mountains rose,
the valleys sank down to the place that you appointed for them.
Psa 104:9 You set a boundary that they may not pass,
so that they might not again cover the earth.
Reading for Tuesday March 11th Psalm 89:33-52
33 But I will not break off my loyal love from him,
and I will not be false against my faithfulness.
34 I will not defile my covenant,
or alter what proceeded from my lips.
35 Once I have sworn by my holiness,
‘I will surely not lie to David,
36 His offspring will endure forever,
and his throne as the sun before me.
37 Like the moon it will be steadfast forever,
and like an enduring witness in the sky.’ ” Selah
38 But you have spurned and rejected;
you are very angry with your anointed one.
39 You have repudiated the covenant with your servant;
you have defiled his crown in the dirt.
40 You have broken down all his walls;
you have made his fortifications a ruin.
41 All passing along the road plunder him;
he has become a taunt to his neighbors.
42 You have raised the right hand of his adversaries.
You have made all his enemies rejoice.
43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword
and have not helped him stand his ground in the battle.
44 You have made his splendor to cease,
and cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have cut short the days of his youth;
you have covered him with shame. Selah
46 How long, O Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever?
Will your wrath burn like fire forever?
47 Remember what my lifespan is.
Remember for what vanity
you have created all the children of humankind.
48 What man can live on and not see death?
Can he deliver his life from the ?power? of Sheol? Selah
49 Where are your former acts of loyal love, O Lord,
that you swore to David by your faithfulness?
50 Remember, O Lord the taunting of your servants,
how I bear in my bosom the taunts of all the many peoples,
51 by which your enemies taunt, O Yahweh,
by which they taunt the steps of your anointed one.
52 Blessed be Yahweh forever.
Amen and Amen.
