Prayer verses
Psalm 1
1Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

7 But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,

make your way straight before me.

Psalm 8
1 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of
your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the
presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the
LORD forever.
Psalm 12:1,8

as vileness is exalted among the children of
man.

1The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they do abominable
deeds;
there is none who does good.
2 The LORD looks down from heaven on the
children of man,
to see if there are any who understand,
who seek after God.
3 They have all turned aside; together they
have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
Psalm 15
1O LORD, who shall sojourn in your tent?
Who shall dwell on your holy hill?
2 He who walks blamelessly and
does what is right and
speaks truth in his heart;
3 who does not slander with his tongue and
does no evil to his neighbor, nor
takes up a reproach against his friend;
4in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
but who honors those who fear the LORD;
who swears to his own hurt and does not
change;
5 who does not put out his money at interest
and does not take a bribe against the
innocent.
He who does these things shall never be moved.
Psalm 16:1-2,11
1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”

in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 24:1-2
1The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness
thereof,
the world and those who dwell therein,
2for he has founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.
Psalm 25:4-7

forever!

let me never be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me!
2Incline your ear to me;
rescue me speedily!
Be a rock of refuge for me,
a strong fortress to save me!
3For you are my rock and my fortress;
and for your name’s sake you lead me and
guide me;
4 you take me out of the net they have hidden
for me,
for you are my refuge.
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;
you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.
6 I hate those who pay regard to worthless idols,
but I trust in the LORD.
7 I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast
love,
because you have seen my affliction;
you have known the distress of my soul,
8and you have not delivered me into the hand of
the enemy;
you have set my feet in a broad place.
9Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress;

and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my iniquity,
and my bones waste away.

3For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
4Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.

and in sin did my mother conceive me.

righteousness.

give it;

a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will
not despise.

build up the walls of Jerusalem;
