Comfort from the Word – Day 11

₁₄But my trust is in you, O LORD;

you are my God.

₁₅I am always in your care;

save me from my enemies,

from those who persecute me.

₁₆Look on your servant with kindness;

save me in your constant love.

₂₂I was afraid and thought

that he had driven me out of his presence.

But he heard my cry,

when I called to him for help.

₂₄Be strong, be courageous,

all you that hope in the LORD.

₁₈The LORD watches over those who obey him,

those who trust in his constant love.

₁₉He saves them from death;

he keeps them alive in times of famine.

₂₀We put our hope in the LORD;

he is our protector and our help.

₂₁We are glad because of him;

we trust in his holy name.

₂₂May your constant love be with us, LORD,

as we put our hope in you.

₂₉But I am in pain and despair;

lift me up, O God, and save me!

₃₀I will praise God with a song;

I will proclaim his greatness by giving him thanks.

₃₁This will please the LORD more than offering him cattle,

more than sacrificing a full-grown bull.

₃₂When the oppressed see this, they will be glad;

those who worship God will be encouraged.

₃₃The LORD listens to those in need

and does not forget his people in prison.

₃₄Praise God, O heaven and earth,

seas and all creatures in them.

₃₅He will save Jerusalem

and rebuild the towns of Judah.

His people will live there and possess the land;

₃₆the descendants of his servants will inherit it,

and those who love him will live there.
