But he said to me,“ My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me.Because of how I suffered for Christ, I’m glad that I am weak. I am glad in hard times. I am glad when people say mean things about me. I am glad when things are difficult. And I am glad when people make me suffer. When I am weak, I am strong.

Psalms 4:1-8
My faithful God, answer me when I call out to you. Give me rest from my trouble. Have mercy on me. Hear my prayer.How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love what will certainly fail you? How long will you pray to statues of gods?Remember that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself. The Lord hears me when I call out to him.Tremble and do not sin. When you are in bed, look deep down inside yourself and be silent.Offer to the Lord the sacrifices that godly people offer. Trust in him.Lord, many are asking,“ Who will make us successful?” Lord, may you do good things for us.Fill my heart with joy when the people have lots of grain and fresh wine.In peace I will lie down and sleep. Lord, you alone keep me safe.

Lord, don’t correct me when you are angry. Don’t punish me when you are very angry.Lord, have mercy on me. I’m so weak. Lord, heal me. My body is full of pain.My soul is very troubled. Lord, how long will it be until you save me?Lord, turn to me and help me. Save me. Your love never fails.Dead people can’t call out your name. How can they praise you when they are in the grave?My groaning has worn me out. All night long my tears flood my bed. My bed is wet because of my crying.I’m so sad I can’t see very well. My eyesight gets worse because of all my enemies.Get away from me, all you who do evil. The Lord has heard my weeping.The Lord has heard my cry for his mercy. The Lord accepts my prayer.All my enemies will be covered with shame and trouble. They will turn back in shame. It will happen suddenly.

Psalms 76:1-12
In the land of Judah, God is well known. In Israel, his name is great.His tent is in Jerusalem. The place where he lives is on Mount Zion.There he broke the deadly arrows of his enemies. He broke their shields and swords. He broke their weapons of war.God, you shine like a very bright light. You are more majestic than mountains full of wild animals.Brave soldiers have been robbed of everything they had. Now they lie there, sleeping in death. Not one of them can even lift his hands.God of Jacob, at your command both horse and chariot lie still.People should have respect for you alone. Who can stand in front of you when you are angry?From heaven you handed down your sentence. The land was afraid and became quiet.God, that happened when you rose up to judge. It happened when you came to save all your suffering people in the land.Your anger against sinners brings you praise. Those who live through your anger gather to worship you.Make promises to the Lord your God and keep them. Let all the neighboring nations bring gifts to the God who should be respected.He breaks the proud spirit of rulers. The kings of the earth have respect for him.

May all the people on earth praise you.The land produces its crops. God, our God, blesses us.May God continue to bless us. Then people from one end of the earth to the other will have respect for him.

Psalms 54:1-55:23
God, save me by your power. Set me free by your might.God, hear my prayer. Listen to what I’m saying.Enemies who are proud are attacking me. Mean people are trying to kill me. They don’t care about God.But I know that God helps me. The Lord is the one who keeps me going.My enemies tell lies about me. Do to them the evil things they planned against me. God, be faithful and destroy them.I will sacrifice an offering to you just because I choose to. Lord, I will praise your name because it is good.You have saved me from all my troubles. With my own eyes I have seen you win the battle over my enemies.God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to my cry for help.Hear me and answer me. My thoughts upset me. I’m very troubled.I’m troubled by what my enemies say about me. I’m upset because they say they will harm me. They cause me all kinds of suffering. When they are angry, they attack me with their words.I feel great pain deep down inside me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.Fear and trembling have taken hold of me. Panic has overpowered me.I said,“ I wish I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away and be at rest.I would escape to a place far away. I would stay out in the desert.I would hurry to my place of safety. It would be far away from the winds and storms I’m facing.”Lord, confuse the sinners and keep them from understanding one another. I see people destroying things and fighting in the city.Day and night they prowl around on top of its walls. The city is full of crime and trouble.Forces that destroy are at work inside it. Its streets are full of people who cheat others and take advantage of them.If an enemy were making fun of me, I could stand it. If he were getting ready to oppose me, I could hide.But it’s you, someone like myself. It’s my companion, my close friend.We used to enjoy good friendship at the house of God. We used to walk together among those who came to worship.Let death take my enemies by surprise. Let them be buried alive, because their hearts and homes are full of evil.But I call out to God. And the Lord saves me.Evening, morning and noon I groan and cry out. And he hears my voice.Even though many enemies are fighting against me, he brings me safely back from the battle.God has been on his throne since ancient times and does not change. He will hear my enemies and make them humble. That’s because they have no respect for God.My companion attacks his friends. He breaks his promise.His talk is as smooth as butter. But he has war in his heart. His words flow like olive oil. But they are like swords ready for battle.Turn your worries over to the Lord. He will keep you going. He will never let godly people be shaken.God, you will bring sinners down to the grave. Murderers and liars won’t live out even half of their lives. But I trust in you.
