Things Unseen

                                                
                                            
Walk in the Land of the Living

                                                    
                                                     
For you have delivered my soul from death,
   my eyes from tears,
   my feet from stumbling.
I walk before the Lord
   in the land of the living.

--Psalm 116:8-9

I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with my whole heart;

before the gods I will sing your praise.

 

I will bow down toward your holy temple

and praise your Name, because of your love and faithfulness;

For you have glorified your Name

and your word above all things.

 

When I called, you answered me;

you increased my strength within me.

 

All the kings of the earth will praise you, O LORD,

when they have heard the words of your mouth.

 

They will sing of the ways of the LORD,

that great is the glory of the LORD.

 

Though the LORD be high, he cares for the lowly;

he perceives the haughty from afar.

 

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe;

you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies; your right hand shall save me.

 

The LORD will make good his purpose for me;

O LORD, your love endures for ever; do not abandon the works of your hands.

I will study the way that is blameless.

   When shall I attain it?

I will walk with integrity of heart

   within my house.

--Psalm 101:2

Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul?

    and why are you so disquieted within me?

Put your trust in God;

    for I will yet give thanks to him,

    who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

--Psalm 42:14-15

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not answer;

     by night as well, but I find no rest.

I am poured out like water;

    all my bones are out of joint;

      my heart within my breast is melting wax.

My mouth is dried out like a pot-sherd;

    my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth,

      and you have laid me in the dust of the grave.

Be not far away, O God;

    you are my strength; hasten to help me.

To you alone all who sleep in the earth bow down in worship;

    all who go down to the dust fall before you.

My soul shall live for you;

    my descendants shall serve you;

      they shall be known as yours for ever.

They shall come and make known to a people yet unborn

    the saving deeds that you have done.

--Psalm 22: 2, 14-15, 18, 28-30

O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you;

my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you,

as in a barren and dry land where there is no water.

Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place,

that I might behold your power and your glory.

For your loving-kindness is better than life itself;

my lips shall give you praise.

-- Psalm 63: 1-3 (BCP p. 670)
