Here is Psalm 27 (in the Episcopal 1928 Prayer Book version, as translated by Archbishop Cranmer):

Psalms 27. Dominus illuminatio.

1 THE LORD is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? * the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, * they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host of men were laid against me, yet shall not my heart be afraid; * and though there rose up war against me, yet will I put my trust in him.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, which I will require; * even that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the LORD, and to visit his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle; * yea, in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me, and set me up upon a rock of stone.
6 And now shall he lift up mine head * above mine enemies round about me.
7 Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation, with great gladness: * I will sing and speak praises unto the LORD.
8 Hearken unto my voice, O LORD, when I cry unto thee; * have mercy upon me, and hear me.
9 My heart hath talked of thee, Seek ye my face: * Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
10 O hide not thou thy face from me, * nor cast thy servant away in displeasure.
11 Thou hast been my succour; * leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
12 When my father and my mother forsake me, * the LORD taketh me up.
13 Teach me thy way, O LORD, * and lead me in the right way, because of mine enemies.
14 Deliver me not over into the will of mine adversaries: * for there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as speak wrong.
15 I should utterly have fainted, * but that I believe verily to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
16 O tarry thou the LORD'S leisure; * be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart; and put thou thy trust in the LORD.

This Psalm, incidentally, is the source of two of the most beautiful anthems used in the English church: Richard Farrant's "Hide Not Thou Thy Face", and John Rutter's "The Lord is My Light and My Salvation."

I don't consider this a "shameless vanity".

I consider this a "call to duty".

[TexKat]

Thanks RG.

[ewing]

bump to what you said..

[pollywog]

We have been praying daily here. He is definitely the " Man of the Hour" ordained by God. How thrilled we are to have a practicing, believing Christian in our top leadership position. Praying MUCH today for peace, strength, and wisdom for our President Bush.

[LurkedLongEnough]

E-mail your wishes too, to President George W. Bush: president@whitehouse.gov. (I wrote & told him that my family & I were praying for him last week, so this "more prayer" post is a pleasant coincidence!) God bless America, our leaders and our troops.
