Bend down, O LORD, and hear my prayer;

answer me, for I need your help.

No pagan god is like you, O Lord;

None can do what you do!

For you are great and perform wonderful deeds.

You alone are God.

Psalm 86:1, 8, 10

Now restore us again, O God of our salvation…

Won’t you revive us again,

so your people can rejoice in you?

Show us your unfailing love, O LORD,

and grant us your salvation.

Psalm 85:4, 6-7

A single day in your courts

is better than a thousand anywhere else!

I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God

than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.

For the LORD God is our sun and our shield.

He gives us grace and glory.

The LORD will withhold no good thing

from those who do what is right.

O LORD of Heaven’s Armies,

what joy for those who trust in you.

Psalm 84:10-12

They forgot what he had done—

the great wonders he had shown them,

the miracles he did for their ancestors…

For he divided the sea and led them through,

making the water stand up like walls!

In the day time he led them by a cloud,

and all night by a pillar of fire. 

Yet they kept on sinning against him…

They stubbornly tested God in their hearts…

…for they did not believe God

or trust him to care for them. 

Psalm 78:11-14; 17, 18, 22

You, O God, are my king from ages past,

bringing salvation to the earth.

Both day and night belong to you;

you made the starlight and the sun.

You set the boundaries of the earth,

and you made both summer and winter.

Psalm 74:12, 16-17

Praise the LORD God, the God of Israel,

who alone does such wonderful things.

Praise his glorious name forever!

Let the whole earth be filled with his glory.

Amen and amen!

Psalm 72:18-19

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;

my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.

He is my shield, the power that saves me,

and my place of safety.

Psalm 18:2

(Horseshoe Canyon, Page, AZ)

For the LORD is the one who shaped the mountains,

stirs up the winds, 

and reveals his thoughts to mankind.

He turns the light of dawn into darkness

and treads on the heights of the earth.

The LORD God of Heaven’s Armies is his name!

Amos 4:13

Thousands upon thousands are waiting in the 

valley of decision.

There the day of the LORD will soon arrive.

The sun and moon will grow dark,

and the stars will no longer shine.

The LORD’s voice will roar from Zion

and thunder from Jerusalem,

and the heavens and the earth will shake.

Bt the LORD will be a refuge for his people…

Joel 3:14-16

When the LORD first began speaking to Israel through Hosea,

he said to him,

“Go and marry a prostitute,

so that some of her children will be conceived in prostitution.

This will illustrate how Israel has acted like a prostitute

by turning against the LORD

and worshiping other gods.”

Hosea 1:2
