New International Version (NIV)
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.
13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
PRAYER
Dear Lord I pray this psalm of David today; truly my heart says to seek your face dear Lord please do not hide your face from me. Truly I do not deserve to stand in your awesome presence I stumble and fall again and again but Lord, who can help me? who do I have on earth but You? Who can I call on in heaven but You oh Lord. Whose grace and mercy is powerful even more powerful than my shortcomings? Whose arm is strong enough to deliver me? Dear Lord. The only thing I'm sure of Lord is that I'm lost without You. Please do not pass me by. Help me! I want to see your face. I want to hear your voice. I want to dwell in your house. Please Help me Lord. I know I cant make it on my own but Your word says "come to me" "call on me". Lord You are beautiful for all situations I come to You. Here I am. You said blessed is he who hungers and thirsts for righteousness for he shall be filled. Here i am Lord hungry and thirsty. Here's my cup Lord. Fill my cup Lord. For I ask in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.
