Scripture Reading

Psalm 7

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 7:17

I thank the LORD for his justice; I sing praises to the LORD, the Most High.

Reflect

What does the psalm writer ask of God? Is the writer seeking revenge or justice? Or both? Have you ever experienced a time when you sought God’s justice? If so, what took place?

Pray

Righteous God, you are the judge of all people. You know my thoughts and desires. Forgive me when I stray and act in ways that are displeasing to you. Order my steps this day and guide me in the way of truth. I praise you, Lord Most High, for your mercy and steadfast love. Amen.
