Daily Wisdom Plan

¹Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD!

²O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

³If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

⁴But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.

⁵I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;

⁶my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

⁷O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.

⁸And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

¹O LORD, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me.

²But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.

³O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and forevermore.

¹Remember, O LORD, in David's favor, all the hardships he endured,

²how he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,

³“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,

⁴I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

⁵until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

⁷“Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!”

⁸Arise, O LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.

⁹Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy.

¹⁰For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your anointed one.

¹¹The LORD swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: “One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne.

¹²If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall sit on your throne.”

¹³For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place:

¹⁴“This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

¹⁵I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.

¹⁶Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy.

¹⁷There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

¹⁸His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
