Daily Wisdom Plan

¹How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

²How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

³Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

⁴lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.

⁵But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

⁶I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

¹The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good.

²The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.

³They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.

⁴Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the LORD?

⁵There they are in great terror, for God is with the generation of the righteous.

⁶You would shame the plans of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.

⁷Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

¹O LORD, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill?

²He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart;

³who 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;

⁵who 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.

¹Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.

²I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.”

³As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.

⁴The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.

⁵The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.

⁶The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

⁷I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.

⁸I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

⁹Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.

¹⁰For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.

¹¹You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
