26 May Proverbs 15:8 & 29 & Psalm 54

8 The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked,
but he delights in the prayers of the upright.

Proverbs 15:29

29 The Lord is far from the wicked,
but he hears the prayers of the righteous.

Psalm 54

1 Come with great power, O God, and rescue me!
Defend me with your might.
2 Listen to my prayer, O God.
Pay attention to my plea.
3 For strangers are attacking me;
violent people are trying to kill me.
They care nothing for God.

Interlude

4 But God is my helper.
The Lord keeps me alive!
5 May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them.
Do as you promised and put an end to them.

6 I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you;
I will praise your name, O Lord,
for it is good.
7 For you have rescued me from my troubles
and helped me to triumph over my enemies.
