Go away, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping.9The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will answer my prayer.

The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set.16The Lord is known for his justice. The wicked are trapped by their own deeds.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

Lord God my Father,

You are my protector and delight. Help me to trust in your plan and look past the struggle to the blessing on the other side. Help me to delight in my growth towards you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
