A Psalm and A Prayer
Psalm 119 p

Psalm 119 p

Leader: Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your law is the truth.

People: Trouble and anguish have come upon me, but your commandments are my delight.

Leader: Your decrees are righteous forever; give me understanding that I may live.

People: With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD. I will keep your statutes.

Leader: I cry to you; save me, that I may observe your decrees.

People: I rise before dawn and cry for help; I put my hope in your words.

Leader: My eyes are awake before each watch of the night, that I may meditate on your promise.

People: In your steadfast love hear my voice; O LORD, in your justice preserve my life.

Heavenly Father, we praise You today for always being and doing what is righteous, just, merciful, forgiving, and loving. Father, we face numerous trials during the week, and our human bodies and minds sometimes suffer in this troubled world in which we live. Strengthen our faith in You and remind us of Your many promises, that we might hope always in You as we pray in Jesus' Name. Amen.
