While waiting

Psalms to pray

The prayer book the church has always had. Each opens in your own translation.

• Psalm 13“How long wilt thou forget me?” — and still ending in song.
• Psalm 42For a thirst that has not been met yet.
• Psalm 27“Whom shall I fear?” — asked honestly, not lightly.
• Psalm 121Lifting your eyes when help has to come from elsewhere.
• Psalm 130Out of the depths, and waiting for the morning.
• Psalm 40“I waited patiently” — which took as long as it took.
