7 The remembrance of your abundant goodness shall they proclaim, and they shall sing of your righteousness. 8 The Lord is gracious and merciful, long-suffering, and of great kindness. 9 The Lord is loving to everyone, and his mercy is over all his works. 10 All your works praise you, O Lord, and your faithful servants give thanks to you. 11 They speak of the glory of your kingdom and talk of your power, 12 That your power may be known to the children of men, even the glorious splendor of your kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all ages. 14 The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all those who are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all wait upon you, O Lord, and you give them their food in due season. 16 You open wide your hand, and fill all things living with plenteousness. 17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways and merciful in all his works. 18 The Lord is near to all those who call upon him, to all who call upon him faithfully. 19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him; he also will hear their cry and will help them. 20 The Lord preserves all those who love him, but he will destroy all the ungodly. 21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord; and let all flesh give thanks unto his holy Name for ever and ever. NOON - Pausing to remember that God is in charge PSALM 126 ~ 1 When the Lord overturned the captivity of Zion, then were we like those who dream. ² Then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with shouts of joy. ³ Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” 4 Indeed, the Lord has done great things for us already, whereof we rejoice. 5 Overturn our captivity, O Lord, as when streams refresh the deserts of the south. 6 Those who sow in tears shall reap with songs of joy. 7 He who goes on his way weeping and bears good seed shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him. PSALM 127 ~ 1 Unless the Lord builds the house, their labor is in vain who build it. ² Unless the Lord keeps the city, the watchman keeps vigil in vain. ³ It is in vain that you rise up early, and take rest so late, and eat the bread of toil, for he gives to his beloved sleep. 4 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is a gift that comes from him. 5 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. 6 Happy is the man who has his quiver full 100
of them; he shall not be ashamed when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. PSALM 128 ~ 1 Blessed are all those who fear the Lord and walk in his ways. ² For you shall eat of the labors of your hands; it shall be well with you, and happy you shall be. ³ Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine upon the walls of your house, 4 Your children like the olive branches round about your table. 5 Indeed, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord. 6 May the Lord bless you out of Zion; may you see Jerusalem in prosperity all your life long. 7 May you see your children’s children, and may there be peace upon Israel. EVENING - Placing all cares in God’s hands PSALM 120 ~ 1 When I was in trouble I called upon the Lord, and he hearkened to my calling. ² Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue. ³ What reward shall be given or done unto you, O false tongue? Even mighty and sharp arrows, with hot burning coals. 4 Woe is me, that I am constrained to dwell in Meshech, and to have my habitation among the tents of Kedar. 5 My soul has long dwelt among those who are enemies of peace. 6 I labor for peace, but when I speak to them of it, they make themselves ready for battle. PSALM 121 ~ 1 I will lift up my eyes unto the hills; from whence comes my help? ² My help comes from the Lord, who has made heaven and earth. ³ He will not let your foot be moved, and he who keeps you will not sleep. 4 Behold, he who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord himself is your keeper; the Lord is your defense upon your right hand, 6 So that the sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night. 7 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; indeed, it is he who shall keep your soul. 8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in, from this time forth for evermore. PSALM 123 ~ 1 Unto you I lift up my eyes, you who are enthroned in the heavens. ² Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress, ³ Even so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until he show us his favor. 4 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have suffered more than enough contempt. 5 Long has our 101
