As a father has compassion on his children
So the LORD has compassion on
Those who fear him;
For he knows how we are formed,
He remembers that we are dust.
Prayer Wednesday
Prayer Wednesday
Let the heavens rejoice,
Let the earth be glad;
Let the sea resound,
And all that is in it;
Let the fields be jubilant,
And everything in them.
Then all the trees of the forest
Will sing for joy;
They will sing before the LORD
For he comes,
He comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in his truth.
Prayer Wednesday
You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have sworn to David my servant,
‘I will establish your line forever
and make your throne firm through all generations.’”
But you have rejected, you have spurned,
you have been very angry with your anointed one.
You have renounced the covenant with your servant
and have defiled his crown in the dust.
Prayer Wednesday: The Weak
“Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
Prayer Wednesday: Horns
We praise you, God
We praise you for your Name is near;
People tell of your wonderful deeds.
You say, “I choose the appointed time;
It is I who judge with equity.
When the earth and all its people quake,
It is I who hold its pillars firm.
To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more.’
And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.
Do not lift your horns against heaven;
Do not speak so defiantly.’”
