Psalm 17:1-8,15
1 Hear a just cause, O Lord,
Attend to my cry;
Give ear to my prayer which is not from deceitful lips.
2 Let my vindication come from Your presence;
Let Your eyes look on the things that are upright.
3 You have tested my heart;
You have visited me in the night;
You have tried me and have found nothing;
I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men,
By the word of Your lips,
I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Uphold my steps in Your paths,
That my footsteps may not slip.
6 I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God;
Incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech.
7 Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand,
O You who save those who trust in You
From those who rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye;
Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,
15 As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.

Dear Mrs. Mui, what a lovely song! As usual your gift as a sweet Psalmist encourages and comforts me on my journey to the New Jerusalem! May the LORD FILL YOUR HEART WITH HOW MUCH YOU STRENGTHEN WEARY PILGRIMS AND BRING THEM FRESH COURAGE, a song in the night, a battle song, or an explosive joy of JESUS CHRIST RETURNING TO BRING US HOME,

[sonyalum]

1 Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit! 2 From your presence let my vindication come! Let your eyes behold the right! 3 You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress. 4 With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent. 5 My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped. 6 I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words. 7 Wondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand. (Psalm 17:1-7, ESV)

Hi Esther Mui

My mum a couple of days ago passed away. My family is messed up because of it, we miss her, though we know she is in the midst of the river of life before the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are hurting and ask that those who are strong to bear us who are weak in prayer.

Regards,
Roach Family, Australia
God bless

Thank you for this means of grace. So valuable! His timing is perfect ...

Piano sounds great too 🤗

May God continue to bless your work. I want you to know how wonderfully effective these songs are for me to “put on” Christ. However where would we be without God’s mercy towards us?
Many thanks to you again Esther. This song’s minimalist arrangement reminds of Paul Buchanan (of The Blue Nile from Scotland) but more importantly, God speaks in these words so, in a way, it is beyond comparison!🤗

Ouve, Senhor, a minha justa queixa; atenta para o meu clamor. Dá ouvidos à minha oração, que não vem de lábios falsos.
Venha de ti a sentença em meu favor; vejam os teus olhos onde está a justiça!
Provas o meu coração e de noite me examinas, tu me sondas, e nada encontras; decidi que a minha boca não pecará
como fazem os homens. Pela palavra dos teus lábios eu evitei os caminhos do violento.
Meus passos seguem firmes nas tuas veredas; os meus pés não escorregaram.
Eu clamo a ti, ó Deus, pois tu me respondes; inclina para mim os teus ouvidos e ouve a minha oração.
Mostra a maravilha do teu amor, tu, que com a tua mão direita salvas os que em ti buscam proteção contra aqueles que os ameaçam.
Protege-me como à menina dos teus olhos; esconde-me à sombra das tuas asas,
dos ímpios que me atacam com violência, dos inimigos mortais que me cercam.
Eles fecham o coração insensível, e com a boca falam com arrogância.
Eles me seguem os passos, e já me cercam; seus olhos estão atentos, prontos para derrubar-me.
São como um leão ávido pela presa, como um leão forte agachado na emboscada.
Levanta-te, Senhor! Confronta-os! Derruba-os! Com a tua espada livra-me dos ímpios.
Com a tua mão, Senhor, livra-me de homens assim, de homens deste mundo, cuja recompensa está nesta vida. Enche-lhes o ventre de tudo o que lhes reservaste; sejam os seus filhos saciados, e o que sobrar fique para os seus pequeninos.
Quanto a mim, feita a justiça, verei a tua face; quando despertar ficarei satisfeito ao ver a tua semelhança.

Salmos 17:1-15
