The LORD's Care for His People

1111 Praise Yah! [1]
I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart,
in the council of the upright, and in the congregation. 2 Yahweh’s works are great,
pondered by all those who delight in them. 3 His work is honor and majesty.
His righteousness endures forever. 4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered.
Yahweh is gracious and merciful. 5 He has given food to those who fear him.
He always remembers his covenant.

6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
in giving them the heritage of the nations. 7 The works of his hands are truth and justice.
All his precepts are sure. 8 They are established forever and ever.
They are done in truth and uprightness. 9 He has sent redemption to his people.
He has ordained his covenant forever.
His name is holy and awesome! 10 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom.
All those who do his work have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!

A Morning Prayer of Trust in God

31 Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are those who rise up against me. 2 Many there are who say of my soul,
“There is no help for him in God.” Selah. 3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice,
and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid myself down and slept.
I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people
who have set themselves against me on every side. 7 Arise, Yahweh!
Save me, my God!
For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.
You have broken the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
Your blessing be on your people. Selah.
