Psalm 138

I will give thanks to you with all my heart.
    I will make music to praise you in front of the false gods.
I will bow toward your holy temple.
    I will give thanks to your name because of your mercy and truth.
    You have made your name and your promise greater than everything.
When I called, you answered me.
    You made me bold by strengthening my soul.
All the kings of the earth will give thanks to you, O Yahweh,
    because they have heard the promises you spoke.
        
            Yahweh’s honor is great!”
Even though Yahweh is high above, he sees humble people close up,
    and he recognizes arrogant people from a distance.
Even though I walk into the middle of trouble,
    you guard my life against the anger of my enemies.
    You stretch out your hand,
        and your right hand saves me.
Yahweh will do everything for me.
    Yahweh, your mercy endures forever.
    Do not let go of what your hands have made.


PRAYER:

Psalm 16

Protect me, O El, because I take refuge in you.
I said to Yahweh,
    “You are my Adonay. Without you, I have nothing good.”
Those who lead holy lives on earth
    are the noble ones who fill me with joy.
Those who quickly chase after other gods multiply their sorrows.
    I will not pour out their sacrificial offerings of blood
        or use my lips to speak their names.
Yahweh is my inheritance and my cup.
    You are the one who determines my destiny.
Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me.
    Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful.
I will praise Yahweh, who advises me.
    My conscience warns me at night.
I always keep Yahweh in front of me.
    When he is by my side, I cannot be moved.
        
            My body rests securely
10 because you do not abandon my soul to the grave
    or allow your holy one to decay.
11 You make the path of life known to me.
    Complete joy is in your presence.
        Pleasures are by your side forever.
