¹ In you, LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
² In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me; turn your ear to me and save me.
³ Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
⁴ Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.

⁵ For you have been my hope, Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth.
⁶ From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb. I will ever praise you.
⁷ I have become a sign to many; you are my strong refuge.

⁸ My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.

 

I hope and pray this scripture will speak to you and facilitate a daily relationship with God. I encourage you to go beyond just reading these passages. Read them, re-read them, meditate, and pray on them. Discern for yourself what God is saying to you through the scripture. When and how you do that is entirely up to you. — Kelly Parker
