Dual PanelA Prayer of Confidence
1Protect me, O God; I trust in you for safety.
2I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; all the good things I have come from you.”
3How excellent are the LORD's faithful people! My greatest pleasure is to be with them.
4Those who rush to other gods bring many troubles on themselves. I will not take part in their sacrifices; I will not worship their gods.
5You, LORD, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands.
6How wonderful are your gifts to me; how good they are!
7I praise the LORD, because he guides me, and in the night my conscience warns me.
8I am always aware of the LORD's presence; he is near, and nothing can shake me.
9And so I am thankful and glad, and I feel completely secure,
10because you protect me from the power of death. I have served you faithfully, and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead.
11You will show me the path that leads to life; your presence fills me with joy and brings me pleasure forever.
