A Prayer for Victory

201 May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble.
May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high, 2 send you help from the sanctuary,
grant you support from Zion, 3 remember all your offerings,
and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah. 4 May He grant you your heart’s desire,
and fulfill all your counsel. 5 We will triumph in your salvation.
In the name of our God, we will set up our banners.
May Yahweh grant all your requests.

6 Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed.
He will answer him from his holy heaven,
with the saving strength of his right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses,
but we trust the name of Yahweh our God. 8 They are bowed down and fallen,
but we rise up, and stand upright. 9 Save, Yahweh!
Let the King answer us when we call!

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.
