A Prayer for Guidance and Protection For the music director; with the flutes. A psalm of David. 1 Hear my words, O Yahweh. Give heed to my sighing. 2 Listen to the sound of my pleading, my king and my God, for to you I pray. 3 O Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will set forth my case to you and I will watch. 4 For you are not a God who desires wickedness…
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 116:12-19
Psa 116:12 What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me?
Psa 116:13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the LORD,
Psa 116:14 I will pay my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people.
Psa 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of his saints.

the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.

and call on the name of the LORD.
Psa 116:18 I will pay my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people,

A Prayer for Guidance and Protection
5 For the music director; with the flutes. A psalm of David.
1 Hear my words, O Yahweh.
Give heed to my sighing.
2 Listen to the sound of my pleading, my king and my God,
for to you I pray.
3 O Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice.
In the morning I will set forth my case to you and I will watch.
4 For you are not a God who desires wickedness.
Evil cannot dwell with you.
5 The boastful do not stand before your eyes.
You hate all evildoers.
6 You destroy speakers of lies.
?A man of bloodshed? and deceit Yahweh abhors.
7 ?But as for me?, through the abundance of your steadfast love
I will enter your house.
I will bow down toward ?your holy temple? in awe of you.
8 O Yahweh, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies;
make straight before me your way.
9 For there is not anything reliable in his mouth;
their inner part is destruction.
Their throat is an open grave;
with their tongue they speak deceit.
10 Treat them as guilty, O God;
let them fall because of their plans.
Because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all who take shelter in you rejoice.
Let them ever sing for joy,
?because? you spread protection over them;
And let those who love your name exult in you.
12 For you bless the righteous.
O Yahweh, like a shield you surround him with good favor.
An Appeal for Forgiveness and Deliverance
6 For the music director; with stringed instruments, on the Sheminith.
A psalm of David.
1 O Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger,
and do not discipline me in your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, because I am feeble.
Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are terrified.
3 My soul is also very terrified.
But you, O Yahweh, how long?
4 Turn, O Yahweh; deliver my life.
Save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5 For there is no remembrance of you in death.
In Sheol, who will give thanks to you?
6 I am weary with my groaning;
?I flood? my bed every night.
With my tears ?I drench? my couch.
7 My eye wastes away because of vexation;
it grows old because of all my oppressors.
8 Depart from me, all workers of evil,
for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 Yahweh has heard my plea;
Yahweh has accepted my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and shall be very terrified.
They shall turn back; they shall suddenly be ashamed.

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.
