Today's prayer: Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions
- 1
- Psalm 51 For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
- 1
- Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
- 2
- Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
- 3
- For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
- 4
- Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.
- 5
- Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
- 6
- Surely you desire truth in the inner parts [1] ; you teach [2] me wisdom in the inmost place.
- 7
- Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
- 8
- Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
- 9
- Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.
- 10
- Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
- 11
- Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
- 12
- Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
- 13
- Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you.
- 14
- Save me from bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
- 15
- O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.
- 16
- You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
- 17
- The sacrifices of God are [3] a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
- 18
- In your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.
- 19
- Then there will be righteous sacrifices, whole burnt offerings to delight you; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

Today's prayer: Deliver me from my enemies, O God; be my fortress against those who are attacking me
Psalm 59
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O God;
be my fortress against those who are attacking me.
2 Deliver me from evildoersy
and save me from those who are after my blood.z
3 See how they lie in wait for me!
Fierce men conspirea against me
for no offense or sin of mine, Lord.
4 I have done no wrong,b yet they are ready to attack me.c
Arise to help me; look on my plight!d
you who are the God of Israel,e
rouse yourselff to punish all the nations;g
show no mercy to wicked traitors.c h
snarling like dogs,i
and prowl about the city.
7 See what they spew from their mouthsj—
the words from their lips are sharp as swords,k
and they think, “Who can hear us?”l
8 But you laugh at them, Lord;m
you scoff at all those nations.n
9 You are my strength,o I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,p
God will go before me
and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,d q
or my people will forget.r
In your might uproot them
and bring them down.s
12 For the sins of their mouths,t
for the words of their lips,u
let them be caught in their pride.v
For the curses and lies they utter,
13 consume them in your wrath,
consume them till they are no more.w
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.x
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for foody
and howl if not satisfied.
16 But I will singz of your strength,a
in the morningb I will sing of your love;c
for you are my fortress,d
my refuge in times of trouble.e
17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.
