Psalm 13

Psalm 13

A Plea for Deliverance

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.

1 Lord, how long will You forget me?
Forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?(A)
2 How long will I store up anxious concerns[a] within me,
agony in my mind every day?
How long will my enemy dominate me?(B)

3 Consider me and answer, Lord my God.
Restore brightness to my eyes;(C)
otherwise, I will sleep in death.
4 My enemy will say, “I have triumphed over him,”
and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.(D)

5 But I have trusted in Your faithful love;(E)
my heart will rejoice in Your deliverance.(F)
6 I will sing to the Lord
because He has treated me generously.(G)

2 Chronicles 20:5-12

Jehoshaphat’s Prayer

5 Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem in the Lord’s temple before the new courtyard. 6 He said:

Yahweh, the God of our ancestors, are You not the God who is in heaven,(A) and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations?(B) Power and might are in Your hand, and no one can stand against You. 7 Are You not our God who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel(C) and who gave it forever to the descendants of Abraham(D) Your friend? 8 They have lived in the land and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name and have said, 9 “If disaster comes on us—sword or judgment, pestilence or famine(E)—we will stand before this temple and before You, for Your name is in this temple.(F) We will cry out to You because of our distress, and You will hear and deliver.”

10 Now here are the Ammonites, Moabites, and the inhabitants of Mount Seir.(G) You did not let Israel invade them when Israel came out of the land of Egypt, but Israel turned away from them and did not destroy them.(H) 11 Look how they repay us by coming to drive us out of Your possession that You gave us as an inheritance. 12 Our God, will You not judge them?(I) For we are powerless before this vast number that comes to fight against us. We do not know what to do, but we look to You.[a](J)

Galatians 5:7-12

7 You were running well. Who prevented you from obeying the truth?(A) 8 This persuasion did not come from the One who called you.(B) 9 A little yeast leavens the whole lump of dough. 10 I have confidence in the Lord you will not accept any other view. But whoever it is that is confusing you will pay the penalty.(C) 11 Now brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross(D) has been abolished. 12 I wish those who are disturbing you might also get themselves castrated!
