Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; 7but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.

Lord God my Father,

You are my strength and my hope, alone despair finds me, with you delight fills me. Show me where I am relying on myself so I may surrender it to you and be fully under your plan. Darkness attacks me but you protect and carry me to victory.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
