Wednesday, September 18th | Psalm 54

Passage:
1 God, save me by your name,
and vindicate me by your might!
2 God, hear my prayer;
listen to the words from my mouth.
3 For strangers rise up against me,
and violent men intend to kill me.
They do not let God guide them. Selah

4 God is my helper;
the Lord is the sustainer of my life.
5 He will repay my adversaries for their evil.
Because of your faithfulness, annihilate them.

6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you.
I will praise your name, LORD,
because it is good.
7 For he has rescued me from every trouble,
and my eye has looked down on my enemies.
(Psalm 54:1-7 CSB17)

Song:
Psalm 54 by Poor Bishop Hooper

Lyrics:
Save me, O God, vindicate me by Your might
Hear my prayer, listen to my words both day and night
Strangers await, ruthless men seek my life
Waiting for me, the God I love, they don't recognize

Surely God is my help
The Lord is the one who sustains me
Surely God is my help
The Lord is the one who sustains me

In faithfulness, destroy all the ones who slander me
A sacrifice I will gladly offer freely
Praising Your name, I know it alone is my only good
I recall all the times I have stood in triumph

Surely God is my help
The Lord is the one who sustains me
Surely God is my help
The Lord is the one who sustains me
Surely God is my help
The Lord is the one who sustains me
Surely God is my help
The Lord is the one who sustains me

Prayer:
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
