God be gracious to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us— Selah.
That Your way may be known on the earth,
Your salvation among all nations.
Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy;
For You will judge the peoples with uprightness
And lead the nations on the earth. Selah.
Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
The earth has yielded its produce;
God, our God, blesses us.
God blesses us,
That all the ends of the earth may fear Him.
Bible
Sep 4: Psalm 66; Jeremiah 3-4
Come and hear, all who fear God,
And I will recount what He has done for my soul.
I called out to Him with my mouth,
And He was exalted with my tongue.
If I see wickedness in my heart,
The Lord will not hear;
But certainly God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.
Sep 3: Psalm 65; Jeremiah 1-2
To You, there will be silence and praise in Zion, O God,
And to You the vow will be paid.
O You who hear prayer,
To You all flesh comes.
Words of iniquity prevail against me;
As for our transgressions, You atone for them.
How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You
That he would dwell in Your courts.
We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.
Sep 2: Psalm 64; Colossians
The righteous man will be glad in Yahweh and will take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will boast.
Sep 1: Psalm 63; Isaiah 65-66
O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.
Aug 31: Psalm 62; Isaiah 60-64
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah
Aug 30: Psalm 61; Isaiah 57-59
Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,
for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.
Let me dwell in your tent forever!
Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
For you, O God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
Prolong the life of the king;
may his years endure to all generations!
May he be enthroned forever before God;
appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
So will I ever sing praises to your name,
as I perform my vows day after day.
Aug 29: Psalm 60; Isaiah 53-56
You have set up a banner for those who fear you,
that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah
That your beloved ones may be delivered,
give salvation by your right hand and answer us!
Aug 28: Psalm 59; Isaiah 49-52
But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
for you, O God, are my fortress,
the God who shows me steadfast love.
Aug 27: Psalm 58; Isaiah 45-48
Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
