The Psalm of the Day for Palm Sunday (Psalm 31:9-16)

Send us Fan MailPsalm 31:9-16Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;    my eye wastes away from grief,    my soul and body also.For my life is spent with sorrow,    and my years with sighing;my strength fails because of my misery,    and my bones waste away.I am the scorn of all my adversaries,    a horror to my neighbors,an object of dread to my acquaintances;    those who see me in the street flee from me.I have passed out of mind like one who is dead;    I have become like a broken vessel.For I hear the whispering of many—    terror all around!—as they scheme together against me,    as they plot to take my life.But I trust in you, O Lord;    I say, “You are my God.”My times are in your hand;    deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.Let your face shine upon your servant;    save me in your steadfast love.
