Devotional Psalms 18

You lord, keep my lump burning; my God turns my darkness into light, with my God I can scale a wall.

As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord's words is flawless;

He shields all who take refuge in him

For who is God besides the Lord? An who is the rock except our God?

It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.

The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my savior!

Who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me.

In my distress I called to the Lord;

I cried to my God for Help.

From his temple He heard my voice;

My cry came before him, into his ears.

Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name forever.

I love you Lord, my strength.

The Lord is my Rock, my fortress and my deliverer;

My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Devotional Psamls 17

My god answers me, turns his ear to me, and hears my prayer. He shows me the wonders of his great love, keeps me as the apple of his eye, hides me in the shadow of his wings.

The people, those of this world whose rewards are in this life, My God fills theirs belies. Satisfies the hunger of his treasured ones. May their children have plenty, leaving an inheritance for their descendants.

Please Lord, as for me my only desire is to see Your face, my steps have held to his paths through what your lips have commanded. I will be satisfied with seeing his likeness.

Only you are my Lord! Every good thing I have is a gift from you. I have nothing good outside of you.

Your people are wonderful,

and they make me happy,

but worshipers of other gods

will have much sorrow,

You, LORD, are all I want! You are my choice, and you keep me safe.

You make my life pleasant,

and my future is bright.

I praise you, LORD,

for being my guide.

Even in the darkest night,

Your teachings fill my mind.

I will always look to you,

as you stand beside me

and protect me from fear.

With all my heart,

I will celebrate,

and I can safely rest

You have shown me

The path to life,

and you make me glad

by being near to me.

Sitting at your right side,

I will always be joyful.

My God dwells in his sacred tent, lives on his holy mountain.

I can live there, because I given my heart and He renewed me.

Now in him, my walk is blameless, I do what is righteous, I speak the truth from my heart. My tongue utters no slander, I do no wrong to a neighbor and cast no slur on others. I despise a vile person but honor those who fear the Lord. I Keep an oath even when it hurts; and I don't change my mind. I lend money to the poor without interest; I don't accept a bribe against the innocent. I do these things by Him, I will never be shaken.

The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

When the Lord restores his people, let us rejoice and be glad

Lord my God, I trust in your unfailing love, my heart rejoices in your salvation.

I will sing praises to the Lord, for he has been good to me.

Before, I thought You had forgotten me. I wrestled with my thoughts, until you gave light to my eyes and so I could see you.

I saw your unfailing love.

The Lord keeps the needy safe and protect us forever from the wicked.

The words of the Lord are flawless.

My Lord says; "I will protect them from those who malign them".

Help me Lord be faithful, trustworthy.

May the Lord silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue

Lord, you are my refuge, in You I can trust, You are the place where I must go. His eyes are on me. 

Please Lord, destroy the wickedness in me, the old man who throws arrows against the just.

Let me love you enough not to be scared so that I can contemplate Your wonderful face.

The Lord is King forever and ever! He is the Helper of the fatherless. God sees the trouble of the afflicted, hears their desires, listens to their cry, and encourages them.

I prefer to be a helpless, fatherless and oppressed mortal who is adopted and receives the favour of the King. Remove from me, Lord, every trace of arrogance, wickedness and perverseness.

In all my thoughts there is room for You, my God. I seek You because You are my defender. Praise to the Lord forever and ever.

My Lord is wonderful, O Most high and right. 

He is the eternal king, always loyal. 👑

I'm oppressed, needy and afflicted, but God has not forgotten me, He is my hope and my refuge.

I'm glad and thankful for You, I'm singing the praises to your Name, I give thanks and tell of Your wonderful deeds.
