Voices Together is taken from my daily meditations, primarily on the Psalms. However, from time to time, I will include a meditation on the practical implications of the Law as I seek to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "Is not David hiding among us?" O God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might. O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah
My foes are not ruthless men, but evil affections and desires. Save me, Lord, from greed and lust, from covetousness and envy, from anxiety and doubt, from pride and self-will. All these that the Evil One uses to come between me and You, that he uses to destroy my joy in You. You and only You can stand between me and the foe.
