Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts;
    
let them proclaim your power.

I will meditate on your majestic, 

glorious splendor
    
and your wonderful miracles.

Psalm 145:4-5

I will exalt you, 

my God and King,
    
and praise your name forever and ever.

I will praise you every day;
    
yes, 

I will praise you forever.

Psalm 145:1-2

Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
    
for I am trusting you.

Show me where to walk,
    
for I give myself to you

Teach me to do your will,
    
for you are my God.

May your gracious Spirit lead me forward
    
on a firm footing.

Psalm 143:8,10

Hear my prayer, 

O Lord;

listen to my plea!

Answer me because you are faithful and righteous

I lift my hands to you in prayer.
    
I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain.

Come quickly, 

Lord…

Psalm 143:1,6-7

When I am overwhelmed,
    
you alone know the way I should turn.

Then I pray to you, 

O Lord.
    
I say, 

“You are my place of refuge.
    
You are all I really want in life.”

Psalm 142:3, 5

Take control of what I say, 

O Lord,
    
and guard my lips.

Psalm 141:3

How precious are your thoughts about me,

O God.
    
They cannot be numbered!

I can’t even count them;
    
they outnumber the grains of sand!

And when I wake up,
    
you are still with me!

Psalm 139:17-18

You made all the delicate, 

inner parts of my body
    
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
    
Your workmanship is marvelous—

how well I know it.

You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
    
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

You saw me before I was born.
    
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.

Every moment was laid out
    
before a single day had passed.

Psalm 139:13-16

(Galveston, TX)

I could ask the darkness to hide me

and the light around me to become night—

but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.

To you the night shines as bright as day.
    
Darkness and light are the same to you.

Psalm 139:11-12

I can never escape from your Spirit!
    
I can never get away from your presence!

If I go up to heaven, 

you are there;
    
if I go down to the grave,

you are there.

If I ride the wings of the morning,
    
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

even there your hand will guide me,
    
and your strength will support me.

Psalm 139:7-10
