Today's prayer: May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

 Psalm 115

1
Psalm 115
1
Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
2
Why do the nations say, "Where is their God?"
3
Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
4
But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
5
They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
6
they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell;
7
they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
8
Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
9
O house of Israel, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
10
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
11
You who fear him, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
12
The LORD remembers us and will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron,
13
he will bless those who fear the LORD-- small and great alike.
14
May the LORD make you increase, both you and your children.
15
May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
16
The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man.
17
It is not the dead who praise the LORD, those who go down to silence;
18
it is we who extol the LORD, both now and forevermore. Praise the LORD.

     Psalm 113

    1
    Psalm 113
    1
    Praise the LORD. [1] Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
    2
    Let the name of the LORD be praised, both now and forevermore.
    3
    From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.
    4
    The LORD is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens.
    5
    Who is like the LORD our God, the One who sits enthroned on high,
    6
    who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?
    7
    He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
    8
    he seats them with princes, with the princes of their people.
    9
    He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the LORD.

      Today's bible teaching: "Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says the LORD. "I will protect them from those who malign them."

       Psalm 12

      1
      Psalm 12 For the director of music. According to sheminith. [1] A psalm of David.
      1
      Help, LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.
      2
      Everyone lies to his neighbor; their flattering lips speak with deception.
      3
      May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue
      4
      that says, "We will triumph with our tongues; we own our lips [2] --who is our master?"
      5
      "Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says the LORD. "I will protect them from those who malign them."
      6
      And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times.
      7
      O LORD, you will keep us safe and protect us from such people forever.
      8
      The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

        Today's bible teaching: Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever

         Psalm 23

        1
        Psalm 23 A psalm of David.
        1
        The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
        2
        He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
        3
        he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
        4
        Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, [1] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
        5
        You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
        6
        Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

          Today's prayer: I lift up my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven

           Psalm 123

          1
          Psalm 123 A song of ascents.
          1
          I lift up my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven.
          2
          As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy.
          3
          Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
          4
          We have endured much ridicule from the proud, much contempt from the arrogant.
