Psalm 3, 1 & 16; Colossians 3; Psalm 16

Lord, you are my shield and my glory. You are the one who lifts my head. I cry out to you, and you hear me. You sustain me, and I do not fear.

I am blessed and filled with your Spirit, oh Lord. I do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor do I stand in the way of sinners, nor do I sit in the seat of the scornful.

My delight is in your word and in your way, father. I meditate on your word day and night. I am like a tree planted by the river of life. I bring forth my fruit in season, and my leaf does not wither, and whatsoever I do prospers.

I bless you, lord, and you give me counsel. You instruct me. I am hidden with Christ in you, father, and I shall not be moved.

Therefore, my heart is glad, and I rejoice in your glory, father. You show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy, and at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
