Daily Meditation
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according
as we hope in thee.
Today’s ReadingPsalm
Chapter 33
Let all the Earth
fear the Lord
1 Rejoice in the
Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. 2 Praise the Lord
with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. 3
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. 4 For the word of
the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. 5 He loveth
righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 By the word of the
Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his
mouth. 7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up
the depth in storehouses. 8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the
inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9 For he spake, and it was done; he
commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord bringeth
the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of
none effect. 11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his
heart to all generations. 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and
the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. 13 The Lord looketh
from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. 14 From the place of his habitation
he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 15 He fashioneth their hearts
alike; he considereth all their works.
16 There is no king
saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much
strength. 17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any
by his great strength. 18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear
him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 to deliver their soul from death, and
to keep them alive in famine. 20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help
and our shield. 21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted
in his holy name.
