Let not those who seek You be confounded because of me, O God of Israel.
7 Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
Shame has covered my face.
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers,
And an alien to my mother’s children;
9 Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up,
And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me. Psalm 69:6-9

I am worn out calling for help;
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,
looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me without reason
outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,
those who seek to destroy me.
I am forced to restore
what I did not steal. Psalm 69:3,4
I am worn out calling for help;
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,
looking for my God.

It has been a while since I managed to put together a meditation for my readers. Life has kept me away from this end of the ministry for a bit, but today, as I was working my way through a portion of my study, I just felt such an urge to move back into a meditational writing; So here is today’s meditation.
I am worn out calling for help;
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,
looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me without reason
outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,

I am forced to restore
what I did not steal. Psalm 69:3,4
See you tomorrow!
I am worn out calling for help;
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,
looking for my God.

Father to the fatherless, defender of widows—
this is God, whose dwelling is holy.
6 God places the lonely in families;
he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.
But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. Psalm 68:5,6
May God arise, may his enemies be scattered;
may his foes flee before him.
2 May you blow them away like smoke—
as wax melts before the fire,
may the wicked perish before God.
3 But may the righteous be glad
and rejoice before God;
may they be happy and joyful. Psalm 68:1-3
May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face shine on us—[b]
2 so that your ways may be known on earth,
your salvation among all nations. Psalm 67:1,2
