I Look Up to the Mountain

In Remembrance of 9/11, let us pray to the Lord.

Psalm 121:1-2

A Song of Ascents.
I lift up my eyes to the mountains -
where does my help come from?

My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

In Peace I Will Lie Down and Sleep

Answer me when I call to You,

   my Righteous God.

Give me relief from my distress;

   have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

2  How long will you people turn my glory into shame?

    How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?

3  Know that the Lord has set apart His faithful servant for Himself;

    the Lord hears when I call to him.

4  Tremble and do not sin;

    when you are on your beds,

    search your hearts and be silent.

5  Offer the sacrifices of the righteous

    and trust in the Lord.

6  Many, Lord, are asking, "Who will bring us prosperity?"

    Let the light of Your Face shine on us.

7   Fill my heart with joy

    when their grain and new wine abound.

8  In peace I will lie down and sleep,

                for you alone, Lord,

                             make me dwell in safety.

Strengthen

Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak legs.

Strengthen the feeble hands,

steady the knees that give way.

Your words have supported those who stumbled;

you have strengthened faltering knees.

Psalm 16: A Prayer of Confidence

    Protect me, O God; I trust in you for safety.
   I say to the Lord,
         You are my Lord;
      all the good things I have come from you.

How excellent are the Lord's faithful people!
      My greatest pleasure is to be with them.

   Those who rush to other gods
      bring many troubles on themselves.
   I will not take part in their sacrifices;
      I will not worship their gods.

   You, Lord, are all I have,
      and you give me all I need;
      my future is in your hands.
   How wonderful are your gifts to me;
      how good they are!

  I praise the Lord, because he guides me,
      and in the night my conscience warns me.
   I am always aware of the Lord's presence;
      he is near, and nothing can shake me.

   And so I am thankful and glad,
      and I feel completely secure,
   because 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.

   You will show me the path that leads to life;
      your presence fills me with joy
      and brings me pleasure forever.
