Praise to God for His Deliverance For the music director. Of David, the servant of Yahweh, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song when Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. And he said: “I love you, O Yahweh, my strength.” 2 Yahweh is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I have taken refuge,..
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 75
Psa 75:1 We give thanks to you, O God;
we give thanks, for your name is near.
We recount your wondrous deeds.
Psa 75:2 “At the set time that I appoint
I will judge with equity.
Psa 75:3 When the earth totters,
and all its inhabitants,
it is I who keep steady its pillars. Selah
Psa 75:4 I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn;
Psa 75:5 do not lift up your horn on high,
or speak with haughty neck.’”
Psa 75:6 For not from the east or from the west
and not from the wilderness comes lifting up,
Psa 75:7 but it is God who executes judgment,
putting down one and lifting up another.
Psa 75:8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup
with foaming wine, well mixed, and he pours out from it,
and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs.
Psa 75:9 But I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
Psa 75:10 All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
Reading for Tuesday November 26th Psalm 18:1-12
Praise to God for His Deliverance
18 For the music director. Of David, the servant of Yahweh,
who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song
?when? Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies,
and from the hand of Saul.
1 And he said:
“I love you, O Yahweh, my strength.”
2 Yahweh is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock in whom I have taken refuge,
my shield and the horn of my deliverance, my stronghold.
3 I called upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised,
and I was saved from my enemies.
4 The ropes of death encircled me,
and streams of ruin overwhelmed me.
5 The ropes of Sheol surrounded me;
the snares of death confronted me.
6 In my trouble I called on Yahweh,
and to my God I cried for help.
He heard my voice from his temple,
and my cry for help
came up before his presence into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains trembled,
and they staggered because he was angry.
8 Smoke went forth from his nose,
and fire from his mouth consumed.
Burning coals blazed from him.
9 So he bowed the heavens and came down
with a thick cloud under his feet.
10 And he mounted a cherub and flew,
and he swooped down on wings of wind.
11 He made darkness his hiding place;
all about him his covering
was a darkness of waters, ?thick clouds?.
12 From the brightness before him
his clouds passed over
with hail and coals of fire.
