Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my sighing. Listen to my cry for help, my King, and my God, for to You I pray. In the morning, O Lord You hear my voice; In the morning I lay my requests before You and wait in expectation.

You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with You the wicked cannot dwell. The arrogant cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all who do wrong. You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the Lord abhors.

But I, by Your great mercy, will come into Your house; in reverence will I bow down toward Yor holy temple. Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of Your enemies - make straight Your way before me.

Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit. Declare them quilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against You.

But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You. For surely, O Lord, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a Shield.

"And if we know that He hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have - what we asked of Him.
(1 John 5:15)

"I call on you, O God for You will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer. Show the wonder of Your great love, you who save by Your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes. Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings."
(Psalm 17: 6-8)

"Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in His ways. You will eat the fruit of Your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. Your wife (husband) will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons (and daughters) will be like olive shoots around your table. Thus is the man blessed who fears the Lord. May the Lord bless you from Zion all the days of your life; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem, and may you live to see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel."
(Psalm 128)
