Deliver Me

(from the Daily Office)

Psalm 119.153, 154, 156

O consider my affliction and deliver me,
for I do not forget your law.
Plead my cause and redeem me;
according to your promise, give me life.
Great is your compassion, O Lord;
give me life, according to your judgements

Refrain: I have longed for your salvation, O Lord.
God of mercy, swift to help us,
as our lips pour forth your praise,
fill our hearts with the peace you give
to those who wait for your salvation
in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Ah Grace!

Aren't we glad Jesus does not treat us this way. Matthew 5.3 being poor in spirit: knowing we need God!
