Psalm 13 (NRSVue)

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

To the leader. A Psalm of David.

1  How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

2  How long must I bear pain [a]  in my soul

    and have sorrow in my heart all day long?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3  Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!

    Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,

4  and my enemy will say, “I have prevailed”;

    my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.

5  But I trusted in your steadfast love;

    my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

6  I will sing to the Lord

    because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Matthew 10:40-42 (NRSVue)

Rewards

40 “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who

sent me. 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s

reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will

receive the reward of the righteous, 42 and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of

these little ones in the name of a disciple—truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.”
