“The Lord is my strength and my shield”

Join me each weekday for a short thought from the Bible to help us listen to what God is saying right now.These are today’s verses:“To you, Lord, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me.For if you remain silent, I shall be like those who go down to the pit.Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help,as I lift up my hands towards your Most Holy Place.Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil,who speak cordially with their neighbours but harbour malice in their hearts.Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work;repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve.Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord and what his hands have done,he will tear them down and never build them up again.Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy.The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.The Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them for ever.”Psalm 28The Bible Uncancelled is a reader-supported publication.
