I have become a laughingstock for all the people, their mocking song all day long. 15 He has filled me with bitterness, he has drenched me with wormwood. 16 He has broken my teeth on grit, he has trampled me down in ash. 17 My life has been removed from peace, I have forgotten goodness. 18 And I have said, “My glory is ruined, my expectation from Yahweh.” 19 Remember my misery and bitterness…
+ 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 24
Psa 24:1 The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof,
the world and those who dwell therein,
Psa 24:2 for he has founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.
Psa 24:3 Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD?
And who shall stand in his holy place?
Psa 24:4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
Psa 24:5 He will receive blessing from the LORD
and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
Psa 24:6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah
Psa 24:7 Lift up your heads, O gates!
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Psa 24:8 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty in battle!
Psa 24:9 Lift up your heads, O gates!
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Psa 24:10 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory! Selah
Reading for Monday November 10th Lamentations 3:14-22
14 I have become a laughingstock for all the people,
their mocking song all day long.
15 He has filled me with bitterness,
he has drenched me with wormwood.
16 He has broken my teeth on grit,
he has trampled me down in ash.
17 My life has been removed from peace,
I have forgotten goodness.
18 And I have said, “My glory is ruined,
my expectation from Yahweh.”
19 Remember my misery and bitterness,
the wormwood and venom!
20 Surely my soul remembers
and bows down within me.
21 This ?I have reminded myself?,
therefore I will hope.
22 The loyal love of Yahweh does not cease;
his compassions do not come to an end.
