A Blessed Little Talk with Jesus
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.
