Daily Wisdom Plan

¹Listen to my words, LORD, Consider my sighing.

²Listen to the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray.

³In the morning, LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will present my prayer to You and be on the watch.

⁴For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil can dwell with You.

⁵The boastful will not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do injustice.

⁶You destroy those who speak lies; The LORD loathes the person of bloodshed and deceit.

⁷But as for me, by Your abundant graciousness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.

⁸LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before me.

⁹For there is nothing trustworthy in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction itself. Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue.

¹⁰Make them pay, God; Have them fall by their own schemes! Scatter them in the multitude of their wrongdoings, For they are rebellious against You.

¹¹But rejoice, all who take refuge in You, Sing for joy forever! And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may rejoice in You.

¹²For You bless the righteous person, LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield.

¹LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your wrath.

²Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am frail; Heal me, LORD, for my bones are horrified.

³And my soul is greatly horrified; But You, LORD—how long?

⁴Return, LORD, rescue my soul; Save me because of Your mercy.

⁵For there is no mention of You in death; In Sheol, who will praise You?

⁶I am weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I flood my couch with my tears.

⁷My eye has wasted away with grief; It has grown old because of all my enemies.

⁸Leave me, all you who practice injustice, For the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.

⁹The LORD has heard my pleading, The LORD receives my prayer.

¹⁰All my enemies will be put to shame and greatly horrified; They shall turn back, they will suddenly be put to shame.

¹O LORD my God, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and rescue me,

²Or he will tear my soul like a lion, Dragging me away, while there is no one to rescue me.

³O LORD my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands,

⁴If I have done evil to my friend, Or have plundered my enemy for no reason,

⁵Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; And let him trample my life to the ground And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

⁶Arise, LORD, in Your anger; Raise Yourself against the rage of my enemies, And stir Yourself for me; You have ordered judgment.

⁷Let the assembly of the peoples encompass You, And return on high over it.

⁸The LORD judges the peoples; Vindicate me, LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.

⁹Please let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; For the righteous God puts hearts and minds to the test.

¹⁰My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart.

¹¹God is a righteous judge, And a God who shows indignation every day.

¹²If one does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and taken aim.

¹³He has also prepared deadly weapons for Himself; He makes His arrows fiery shafts.

¹⁴Behold, an evil person is pregnant with injustice, And he conceives harm and gives birth to lies.

¹⁵He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made.

¹⁶His harm will return on his own head, And his violence will descend on the top of his own head.

¹⁷I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

¹LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, You who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

²From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have established strength Because of Your enemies, To do away with the enemy and the revengeful.

³When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have set in place;

⁴What is man that You think of him, And a son of man that You are concerned about him?

⁵Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty!

⁶You have him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put everything under his feet,

⁷All sheep and oxen, And also the animals of the field,

⁸The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

⁹LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
