A Prayer for Protection and Prosperity A song of ascents. Of Solomon. 1 Unless Yahweh builds a house, its builders labor at it in vain. Unless Yahweh guards a city, a guard watches in vain. 2 It is in vain for you who rise early and sit late, eating the bread of anxious toil, when thus he provides for his beloved in his sleep. 3 Look, children are the heritage of Yahweh; the fruit of the womb is a reward…
+ 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 119:129-138
Psa 119:129 Pe Your testimonies are wonderful;
therefore my soul keeps them.
Psa 119:130 The unfolding of your words gives light;
it imparts understanding to the simple.
Psa 119:131 I open my mouth and pant,
because I long for your commandments.
Psa 119:132 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
as is your way with those who love your name.
Psa 119:133 Keep steady my steps according to your promise,
and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
Psa 119:134 Redeem me from man’s oppression,
that I may keep your precepts.
Psa 119:135 Make your face shine upon your servant,
and teach me your statutes.
Psa 119:136 My eyes shed streams of tears,
because people do not keep your law.
Psa 119:137 Tsadhe Righteous are you, O LORD,
and right are your rules.
Psa 119:138 You have appointed your testimonies
in righteousness and in all faithfulness.

A Prayer for Protection and Prosperity
127 A song of ascents. Of Solomon.
1 Unless Yahweh builds a house,
its builders labor at it in vain.
Unless Yahweh guards a city,
a guard watches in vain.
2 It is in vain for you who rise early and sit late,
eating the bread of anxious toil,
when thus he provides for his beloved in his sleep.
3 Look, children are the heritage of Yahweh;
the fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
so are the children of one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them.
They shall not be put to shame
when they speak with enemies at the gate.
Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears Yahweh
128 A song of ascents.
1 Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,
who walks in his ways.
2 You will indeed eat of the labor of your hands;
you will be happy and it will be well with you.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
?within? your house.
Your children will be like olive shoots
about your table.
4 Look, for thus shall a man be blessed
?who fears Yahweh?.
5 May Yahweh bless you from Zion,
that you may see the good of Jerusalem
all the days of your life,
6 and that you may see your children’s children.
May peace be upon Israel.
Victory Over the Enemies of Zion
129 A song of ascents.
1 “Too often they have attacked me from my youth.”
Let Israel say,
2 “Too often they have attacked me from my youth,
yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 On my back plowmen have plowed.
They have made their furrows long.”
4 Yahweh is righteous.
He has cut the ropes of the wicked.
5 Let all be put to shame and repulsed
who hate Zion.
6 Let them be like grass on the housetops,
that withers before it grows up,
7 with which a reaper cannot fill his hand,
nor the binder of sheaves his ?arms?,
8 so that passersby do not say,
“The blessing of Yahweh be upon you.
We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
Lord’s Prayer
Daily Prayer
O God, in the glorious transfiguration of Your beloved Son You confirmed the mysteries of the faith by the testimony of Moses and Elijah. In the voice that came from the bright cloud You wonderfully foreshowed our adoption by grace. Mercifully make us co-heirs with the King in His glory and bring us to the fullness of our inheritance in heaven; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, 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.
