Today's Verse - Psalms 30
I will exalt You, LORD,
because You have lifted me up
and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me.
LORD my God,
I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
LORD, You brought me up from Sheol;
You spared me from among those
going down to the Pit.
Sing to the LORD, you His faithful ones,
and praise His holy name.
5 For His anger lasts only a moment,
but His favor, a lifetime.
Weeping may spend the night,
but there is joy in the morning.
When I was secure, I said,
"I will never be shaken."
LORD, when You showed Your favor,
You made me stand like a strong mountain;
when You hid Your face, I was terrified.
LORD, I called to You;
I sought favor from my Lord:
"What gain is there in my death,
in my descending to the Pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it proclaim Your truth?
LORD, listen and be gracious to me;
LORD, be my helper."
You turned my lament into dancing;
You removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
so that I can sing to You and not be silent.
LORD my God, I will praise You forever.
because You have lifted me up
and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me.

Today's Verse - Psalms 3
LORD, how my foes increase!
There are many who attack me.
Many say about me,
"There is no help for him in God."
But You, LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the One who lifts up my head.
I cry aloud to the LORD,
and He answers me from His holy mountain.
I lie down and sleep;
I wake again because the LORD sustains me.
I am not afraid of the thousands of people
who have taken their stand against me on every side.
Rise up, LORD!
Save me, my God!
You strike all my enemies on the cheek;
You break the teeth of the wicked.
Salvation belongs to the LORD;
may Your blessing be on Your people.
