Psalm 13
1

How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3
Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
4
my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Today's prayer: Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help

Psalm 30
1
Psalm 30 A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. [1] Of David.
1
I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
2
O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.
3
O LORD, you brought me up from the grave [2] ; you spared me from going down into the pit.
4
Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name.
5
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
6
When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken."
7
O LORD, when you favored me, you made my mountain [3] stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.
8
To you, O LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9
"What gain is there in my destruction, [4] in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10
Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help."
11
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12
that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.

    Today's prayer: Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.

    Psalm 16
    1
    Psalm 16 A miktam[1] of David.
    1
    Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.

    I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."
    3
    As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.[2]
    4
    The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips.
    5
    LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
    6
    The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
    7
    I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
    8
    I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
    9
    Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
    10
    because you will not abandon me to the grave,[3] nor will you let your Holy One[4] see decay.
    11
    You have made[5] known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
