4th Sunday Meditation: The Lord Will Perfect That Which Concerns Me

"I will cry to God Most High, Who performs on

my behalf and rewards me, Who brings to pass His

purposes for me and surely completes them!"

Psalm 57:2

PSALM 138

A Song of David

I will confess and praise You, O God, with my whole heart;

before the gods will I sing praises to You.

I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name

for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness;

for You have exalted above all else Your name and Your word

and You have magnified Your word above all Your name!

In the day when I called, You answered me; and You strengthened

me with strength, might and inflexibility to temptation in my inner self.

All the kings of the land shall give You credit and praise You, O Lord,

for they have heard of the promises of Your mouth which were fulfilled.

Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord and joyfully celebrate

His mighty acts, for great is the glory of the Lord.

For though the Lord is high, yet has He respect to the lowly,

bringing them into fellowship with Him; but the proud and haughty

He knows and recognizes only at a distance.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;

You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,

and Your right hand will save me.

The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and

loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever-forsake not the works

of Your own hands."

Fearless and faithful, trusting and true,
Loyal to Jesus in all I do;
Seeking His glory, loving His laws,
Ready and willing to honor His cause.

(Refrain)
So would I ever
Walk in His ways,
Bearing His standard,
Showing His praise.

Fearless and faithful, strong in the Lord,
Firm as an anchor, my hope His Word;
Over the conflicts, raging within,
Victory promised thro' grace I shall win.

(Refrain)

Fearless and faithful, earnest in prayer,
Living for others, their burdens share;
Cheering the lowly, poor and oppressed,
Pointing to Jesus, the Giver of rest.

(Refrain)
