Comfort from the Word – Day 33

₁₁You punish our sins by your rebukes,

and like a moth you destroy what we love.

Indeed we are no more than a puff of wind!

₁₂Hear my prayer, LORD,

and listen to my cry;

come to my aid when I weep.

Like all my ancestors

I am only your guest for a little while.

₁O God, it is right for us to praise you in Zion

and keep our promises to you,

₂because you answer prayers.

People everywhere will come to you

₃on account of their sins.

Our faults defeat us,

but you forgive them.

₄Happy are those whom you choose,

whom you bring to live in your sanctuary.

We shall be satisfied with the good things of your house,

the blessings of your sacred Temple.

₅You answer us by giving us victory

and you do wonderful things to save us.

People all over the world

and across the distant seas trust in you.

₁₉Praise the Lord,

who carries our burdens day after day;

he is the God who saves us.

₂₀Our God is a God who saves;

he is the LORD, our Lord,

who rescues us from death.
