Hearing son2 making egg salad...
2 Samuel
2 Samuel 13:20
Her brother Absalom said to her, "Has that Amnon, your brother, been with you? Be quiet now, my sister; he is your brother. Don't take this thing to heart." And Tamar lived in her brother Absalom's house, a desolate woman.
Psalm 10:17-18
You hear, O Lord, the desire of the
afflicted;
you encourage them, and you
listen to their cry,
defending the fatherless and the
oppressed,
in order that man, who is of the
earth, may terrify no more.
Psalm 40:1-3
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the Lord.
Psalm 71
In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
Rescue me and deliver me in your
righteousness;
turn your ear to me and save me.
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.
Deliver me, O my God, from the
hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of evil and cruel
men.
For you have been my hope,
O Sovereign Lord,
my confidence since my youth.
From birth I have relied on you;
you brought me forth from my
mother's womb.
I will ever praise you.
I have become like a portent to
many,
but you are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with your praise,
declaring your splendor all day
long.
Do not cast me away when I am old;
do not forsake me when my
strength is gone.
For my enemies speak against me;
those who wait to kill me conspire
together.
They say, "God has forsaken him;
pursue him and seize him,
for no one will rescue him."
Be not far from me, O God;
come quickly, O my God, to help
me.
May my accusers perish in shame;
may those who want to harm me
be covered with scorn and
disgrace.
But as for me, I will always have
hope;
I will praise you more and more.
My mouth will tell of your
righteousness,
of your salvation all day long,
though I know not its measure.
I will come and proclaim your
mighty acts, O Sovereign Lord;
I will proclaim your righteousness,
yours alone.
Since my youth, O God, you have
taught me,
and to this day I declare your
marvelous deeds.
Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, O God,
till I declare your power to the next
generation,
your might to all who are to come.
your righteousness reaches to the
skies, O God,
you who have done great things.
Who, O God, is like you?
Though you have made me see
troubles, many and bitter,
you will restore my life again;
from the depths of the earth
you will again bring me up.
You will increase my honor
and comfort me once again.
I will praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praise to you with the
lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you-
I, whom you have redeemed.
My tongue will tell of your righteous
acts
all day long,
for those who wanted to harm me
have been put to shame and
confusion.
Happy Journaling...
