Daily Wisdom Plan

¹Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

²Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”

³Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.

⁵They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see.

⁶They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell.

⁷They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat.

⁸Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them.

⁹O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

¹¹You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

¹²The LORD has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;

¹³he will bless those who fear the LORD, both the small and the great.

¹⁴May the LORD give you increase, you and your children!

¹⁵May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth!

¹⁶The heavens are the LORD's heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man.

¹⁷The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any who go down into silence.

¹⁸But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!

¹I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.

²Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

³The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.

⁴Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!”

⁵Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful.

⁶The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.

⁷Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

⁸For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling;

⁹I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

¹⁰I believed, even when I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”;

¹¹I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.”

¹²What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me?

¹³I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD,

¹⁴I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.

¹⁵Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

¹⁶O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.

¹⁷I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.

¹⁸I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,

¹⁹in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!

¹Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples!

²For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!
