Ixtheus Christian Devotionals

Psa 26 (TLB) 
Dismiss all the charges against me, Lord, 
for I have tried to keep your laws and have trusted you without wavering. 
{2} Cross-examine me, O Lord, and see that this is so; 
test my motives and affections too. 

{3} For I have taken your loving-kindness and your truth as my ideals. 
{4} I do not have fellowship with tricky, two-faced men;
 they are false and hypocritical. 
{5} I hate the sinners' hangouts and refuse to enter them. 
{6} I wash my hands to prove my innocence and come before your altar,
 {7} singing a song of thanksgiving and telling about your miracles. 

{8} Lord, I love your home, 
this shrine where the brilliant, dazzling splendor of your presence lives. 
{9} Don't treat me as a common sinner or murderer 
who plots against the innocent and demands bribes. 

{10} {11} No, I am not like that, O Lord; 
I try to walk a straight and narrow path of doing what is right; 
therefore in mercy save me.

 {12} I publicly praise the Lord 
for keeping me from slipping and falling.

Psa 27 (TLB) 
The Lord is my light and my salvation; 
he protects me from danger--whom shall I fear? 

{2} When evil men come to destroy me, they will stumble and fall!
{3} Yes, though a mighty army marches against me,
my heart shall know no fear!
I am confident that God will save me. 

{4} The one thing I want from God, the thing I seek most of all, 
is the privilege of meditating in his Temple, 
living in his presence every day of my life, 
delighting in his incomparable perfections and glory. 

{5} There I'll be when troubles come. 
He will hide me. 
He will set me on a high rock {6} out of reach of all my enemies. 
Then I will bring him sacrifices and sing his praises with much joy. 

{7} Listen to my pleading, Lord! 
Be merciful and send the help I need. 

{8} My heart has heard you say, 
"Come and talk with me, O my people."
And my heart responds, "Lord, I am coming."

{9} Oh, do not hide yourself when I am trying to find you. 
Do not angrily reject your servant. 
You have been my help in all my trials before; 
don't leave me now. Don't forsake me, 
O God of my salvation.

{10} For if my father and mother should abandon me,
you would welcome and comfort me. 

{11} Tell me what to do, O Lord, 
and make it plain because I am surrounded by waiting enemies. 
{12} Don't let them get me, Lord! Don't let me fall into their hands!
 For they accuse me of things I never did, 
and all the while are plotting cruelty. 

{13} I am expecting the Lord to rescue me again,
so that once again I will see his goodness to me here
in the land of the living.

{14} Don't be impatient. Wait for the Lord, 
and he will come and save you! 
Be brave, stouthearted, and courageous. 
Yes, wait and He will help you.
