Musings of a Recovering Lutheran: Today's verse
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 

Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?

Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Isaiah 6:8 (KJV)

Today's verse

I said, “LORD, be merciful to me;
Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”

My enemies speak evil of me:
“When will he die, and his name perish?”

And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies;
His heart gathers iniquity to itself;
When he goes out, he tells it.

All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they devise my hurt.

“An evil disease,” they say, “clings to him.
And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.”

Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted,
Who ate my bread,
Has lifted up his heel against me.

But You, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up,
That I may repay them.

By this I know that You are well pleased with me,
Because my enemy does not triumph over me.

As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
And set me before Your face forever.


Psalm 41:4-12 (NKJV)
