A Prayer to the God of My Life

The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me, a prayer to the God of my life.  --Psalm 42:8

You are my King and my God...at Your word my deliverance comes.  You command Your blessings....even life for evermore....upon me.  You daily load me with benefits.  Your kindness towards me reaches to the heavens.  Your tender mercies are always with me.  You do not stand aloof at my tears.  Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.   I will bless You and lift up my hands to You.  My soul shall be satisfied with your goodness.

At night Your song is with me. You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble and You, my God, surround me with songs of deliverance.   I will remember You upon my bed and meditate on You in the night watches. I will sing aloud of Your goodness and be joyful in Your glory.  You alone give me gladness of heart and in the shadow of Your wings I rejoice.  I will follow hard after You and Your right hand will hold me up.  My soul waits upon You only, for my expectation is from You.   You are the God of my life.  My rock, my refuge and my strength.   In you I live and move and have my being.
