I Hope

O Lord,
You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
...
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
...

You can make many plans,
but the Lord's purpose will prevail.
- NLT

The teachings of your word gives light,
so even the simple can understand.
- NLT

Give me a sign of your goodness,
that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
for you, O Lord,
have helped me and comforted me.
- NIV

Lord,

I pray that whenever I open my mouth,
I speak words given to me by You;
words that strengthen,
words that edify,
words that heal,
words that reveal Your truth,
words that draw the listener closer to You.

In the precious name of Jesus Christ I pray.
Amen.

O Lord,
I have come to you for protection;
don't let me be disgraced.
Save me and rescue me,
for you do what is right.

Turn your ear to listen to me,
and set me free.
Be my rock of safety
where I can always hide.
Give the order to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.

My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked,
from the clutches of cruel oppressors.

O Lord, you alone are my hope.
I've trusted you, O Lord, from childhood.
Yes, you have been with me from birth;
from my mother's womb you have cared for me.
No wonder I am always praising you!

My life is an example to many,
because you have been my strength and protection.
That is why I can never stop praising you;
I declare your glory all day long.
...

I will tell about your righteous deeds all day long,
for everyone who tried to hurt me has been shamed and humiliated.
- NLT
