Psalm of Comfort

| |
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: 'When shall I come and appear before God?'
My tears have been my food day and night, while they say unto me all the day: 'Where is Thy God?'
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I passed on with the throng, and led them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why moanest thou within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him for the salvation of His countenance.
Psalms 42: 2-6 | Source: Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917) |
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
From the end of the earth will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth; lead me to a rock that is too high for me.
For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. Selah

A Prayer For Our Children (Click Here For PDF Copy of Prayer)
Shomer Yisrael - Guardian and Protector of Israel, show Your love to Your people and keep them as the apple of Your eye. Hide them under the shadow of Your wings, from the wicked who oppress them, from their deadly enemies who surround them (Psalm 17:7-9).
O God who keeps His covenants, we pray that You would remember your covenants and promises toward Israel, especially when others rise up against her to swallow her alive. When their anger is kindled against her, let not the raging waters of hatred overwhelm her (Psalm 124)
