A Prayer for Help
Psalm 54
FOR THE DIRECTOR OF MUSIC. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A
MASKIL OF DAVID WHEN THE ZIPHITES WENT TO SAUL AND SAID,
“WE THINK DAVID IS HIDING AMONG OUR PEOPLE.”
1God, save me because of who you are.
By your strength show that I am innocent.
2Hear my prayer, God;
listen to what I say.
3Strangers turn against me,
and cruel men want to kill me.
They do not care about God.
Selah
4See, God will help me;
the Lord will support me.
5Let my enemies be punished with their own evil.
Destroy them because you are loyal to me.
6I will offer a sacrifice as a special gift to you.
I will thank you, LORD, because you are good.
7You have saved me from all my troubles,
and I have seen my enemies defeated.

The One True God
Psalm 115
1It does not belong to us, LORD.
The glory belongs to you
because of your love and loyalty.
2Why do the nations ask,
“Where is their God?”
3Our God is in heaven.
He does what he pleases.
4Their idols are made of silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
5They have mouths, but they cannot speak.
They have eyes, but they cannot see.
6They have ears, but they cannot hear.
They have noses, but they cannot smell.
7They have hands, but they cannot feel.
They have feet, but they cannot walk.
No sounds come from their throats.
8People who make idols will be like them,
and so will those who trust them.
9Family of
he is your helper and your protection.
10Family of Aaron, trust the LORD;
he is your helper and your protection.
11You who respect the LORD should trust him;
he is your helper and your protection.
12The LORD remembers us and will bless us.
He will bless the family of
he will bless the family of Aaron.
13The LORD will bless those who respect him,
from the smallest to the greatest.
14May the LORD give you success,
and may he give you and your children success.
15May you be blessed by the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
16Heaven belongs to the LORD,
but he gave the earth to people.
17Dead people do not praise the LORD;
those in the grave are silent.
18But we will praise the LORD
now and forever.
Praise the LORD!

The Word of God
Psalm 119 : 169-176
169Hear my cry to you, LORD.
Let your word help me understand.
170Listen to my prayer;
save me as you promised.
171Let me speak your praise,
because you have taught me your demands.
172Let me sing about your promises,
because all your commands are fair.
173Give me your helping hand,
because I have chosen your commands.
174I want you to save me, LORD.
I love your teachings.
175Let me live so I can praise you,
and let your laws help me.
176I have wandered like a lost sheep.
Look for your servant, because I have not forgotten your commands.
