Episode 125: Psalm 71

Today's meditation is on Psalm 71

Lord, you are my refuge. I come to you for protection and you never let me down. You have saved me from the enemy and set me free. You are just. When I call to you, you bend down your ear and listen to my plea. You are my great protecting Rock, where I am always welcome, safe from all attacks. You are my rock and my fortress. 

O Lord, you alone are my hope; I’ve trusted you from childhood. Yes, you have been with me from birth, loving me and helping me through my life's journey. What you have done for me is nothing short of miraculous. No wonder I am always praising you! My success—-at which so many stand amazed—-is all because of you, my mighty protector. I try to live my life as an example to others of how wonderful life with you can be. Every day I’ll praise and honor you. I'm overflowing with your praise for all you've done. Your splendor thrills me all day long.

As I have grown older, you haven't set me aside. You will never forsake me. And when I am weak, Lord, you are strong.

I will continue to rely on you, Lord, with great expectation. And I will praise you more and more. I cannot count the times when you have faithfully rescued me from danger. I will tell everyone how good you are, and of your constant, daily care. I walk in your mighty strength, oh Lord. I tell everyone that you alone are just and good and perfect. 

O God, you have helped me from my earliest childhood. You have been my teacher. I love to testify to others about your miracle wonders. And now that I am older, you are still with me, never forsaking me. You give me grace to demonstrate to the next generation, all your mighty miracles and your excitement to show them your magnificent power. I will praise you to this generation (and their children too) and tell them all about your mighty miracles. 

Your power and goodness, Lord, reach to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. There is no other God like you. You brought me back to life again, up from the depths of the earth. You give me greater honor than before and turn again and comfort me.

I will praise you with music, telling of your faithfulness to all your promises, O God. I will shout and sing your praises for redeeming me. I will never stop telling others about your mercy and kindness and about how perfect you are. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
