Comfort from the Word – Day 27

₁₇If the LORD had not helped me,

I would have gone quickly to the land of silence.

₁₈I said, “I am falling”;

but your constant love, O LORD, held me up.

₁₉Whenever I am anxious and worried,

you comfort me and make me glad.

₂₀You have nothing to do with corrupt judges,

who make injustice legal,

₂₁who plot against good people

and sentence the innocent to death.

₂₂But the LORD defends me;

my God protects me.

₁₃₇You are righteous, LORD,

and your laws are just.

₁₃₈The rules that you have given

are completely fair and right.

₉He does not keep on rebuking;

he is not angry for ever.

₁₀He does not punish us as we deserve

or repay us according to our sins and wrongs.

₁₁As high as the sky is above the earth,

so great is his love for those who honour him.
