Listen to Psalm 69:29-36 read by Jonathan Dent

Reading: Psalm 69:29-36 (NIV)*

But as for me, afflicted and in pain—
may your salvation, God, protect me.
 I will praise God’s name in song
and glorify him with thanksgiving.
This will please the LORD more than an ox,
more than a bull with its horns and hooves.
The poor will see and be glad—
you who seek God, may your hearts live!
The LORD hears the needy
and does not despise his captive people.
Let heaven and earth praise him,
the seas and all that move in them,
 for God will save Zion
and rebuild the cities of Judah.
Then people will settle there and possess it;
 the children of his servants will inherit it,
and those who love his name will dwell there.

Response
LORD God, in my difficulties I praise you. This pain-prone human flesh praises you. Thank you for this life you have given me. Your goodness and mercy never end. Amen.
