EVENING - Placing all cares in God’s hands<br />

PSALM 54 ~ 1 Save me, O God, for your Name’s sake, and avenge me<br />

in your strength. ² Hear my prayer, O God, and hearken to <strong>the</strong> words<br />

of my mouth. ³ For <strong>the</strong> arrogant have risen up against me, and<br />

tyrants, who do not have God before <strong>the</strong>ir eyes, seek after my life.<br />

4<br />

Behold, God is my helper; <strong>the</strong> Lord is he who upholds my life.<br />

5<br />

He shall repay <strong>the</strong> evil of my enemies. O destroy <strong>the</strong>m in your<br />

faithfulness. 6 A freewill offering will I give you, and praise your Name,<br />

O Lord, because it is good. 7 For he has delivered me out of all my<br />

trouble, and my eye has seen <strong>the</strong> ruin of my enemies.<br />

PSALM 56 ~ 1 Be merciful to me, O God, for my adversaries are<br />

treading me down; <strong>the</strong>y are daily fighting and troubling me. ² My<br />

enemies go about hounding me daily, for <strong>the</strong>re are many who fight<br />

against me, O Most High. ³ Never<strong>the</strong>less, though I am sometimes<br />

afraid, yet I put my trust in you. 4 In God whose word I praise, in God I<br />

trust and fear not, for what can flesh do to me? 5 They daily distort my<br />

words; all that <strong>the</strong>y imagine is to do me evil. 6 They all ga<strong>the</strong>r<br />

toge<strong>the</strong>r and lie in wait, and mark my steps, while <strong>the</strong>y seek after my<br />

life. 7 Shall <strong>the</strong>y escape despite <strong>the</strong>ir wickedness? O God, in your<br />

displeasure cast <strong>the</strong>m down. 8 You record my lamentation; put my<br />

tears into your bottle. Are not <strong>the</strong>se things noted in your book?<br />

9<br />

Whenever I call upon you, <strong>the</strong>n shall my enemies be put to flight;<br />

this I know, for God is on my side. 10 In God, whose word I praise,<br />

in <strong>the</strong> Lord, whose word I praise, 11 In God have I put my trust;<br />

I will not be afraid, for what can mortals do to me? 12 Unto you, O<br />

God, will I pay my vows; unto you will I give thanks. 13 For you have<br />

delivered my soul from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may<br />

walk before God in <strong>the</strong> light of <strong>the</strong> living.<br />
