congregation whom you have purchased and redeemed of old. ³ Think upon the tribe of your inheritance, and Mount Zion, where you have dwelt. 4 Draw near and behold how all is made desolate and how the enemy has destroyed all that is in your sanctuary. 5 Your adversaries roar in the midst of your holy place and set up their banners as tokens of victory. 6 Like hewers of timber in a thicket of trees, so have they broken down all the carved work with axes and hammers. 7 They have set fire to your holy place and have defiled the dwelling place of your Name, even to the ground. 8 They said in their hearts, “Let us make havoc of them altogether.” Thus have they burnt up all the houses of God in the land. 9 We do not see any signs; there is not one prophet anymore; there is no one who knows how long these things shall continue. 10 O God, how long shall the adversary do this dishonor? How long shall the enemy blaspheme your Name, for ever? 11 Why do you withdraw your hand? Why do you not take your right hand out of your bosom to consume the enemy? 12 For God is my King of old; he is the one bringing help upon the earth. 13 You divided the sea through your power; you broke the heads of the dragons in the waters. 14 You smote the heads of Leviathan in pieces and gave him to be food for the people in the wilderness. 15 You brought fountains and waters out of the hard rocks, and you dried up mighty waters. 16 The day is yours, and the night is yours; you have prepared the light and the sun. 17 You have set all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and winter. 18 Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffed, and how the foolish people have blasphemed your Name. 19 Deliver not the soul of your turtledove to the wild beasts, and forget not for ever the lives of your poor. 20 Look upon your covenant, for the dark places of the earth are full of violence. 21 Let not the oppressed go away ashamed, but let the poor and needy give praise to your Name. ²² Arise, O God, maintain your own cause; remember how the foolish one blasphemes you daily. ²³ Forget not the voice of your enemies, nor the tumult of those who hate you, which increases ever more and more. 76
DAY TWENTY-EIGHT MORNING - Beginning the day with praise & thanksgiving PSALM 107:23-43 ~ ²³ Those who go down to the sea in ships, who carry out their business in great waters, 24 They behold the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep. 25 For at his word the stormy wind arises, which lifts up the waves. 26 They are carried up to heaven and down again to the deep; their soul melts away because of the trouble. 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end. 28 So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, he delivers them out of their distress. 29 For he makes the storm to cease, so that the waves are still. 30 Then they are glad, because they are at rest, and so he brings them into the haven where they desire to be. 31 Oh, that they would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness and declare the wonders that he does for the children of men! ³² That they would exalt him also in the congregation of the people and praise him in the seat of the elders! ³³ He turns rivers into a wilderness and water-springs into thirsty ground, 34 A fruitful land he makes barren, because of the wickedness of those who dwell there. 35 Again, he makes the wilderness into pools of water and dry ground into water-springs; 36 And there he sets the hungry that they may build a city to dwell in, 37 That they may sow their land and plant vineyards to yield the fruits of increase. 38 He blesses them, so that they multiply exceedingly, and does not allow their cattle to decrease. 39 And again, when they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, through any plague or trouble, 40 Though he pours contempt on princes and lets them wander in the pathless wilderness, 41 Yet he helps the poor out of misery and increases their households like a flock of sheep. 42 The righteous will consider this and rejoice, and the mouth of all wickedness shall be stopped. 43 Whoever is wise will ponder these things, and shall understand the loving-kindness of the Lord. NOON - Pausing to remember that God is in charge PSALM 115 ~ 1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto your Name give the praise, for your loving mercy and for your truth’s sake. 77
