In this Brand New Year

May God wipe your tears

Replace fruitless labour

With divine favour.

 

May He

Give you green pastures

Of His good pleasure;

Making you rise up

and remain on top;

Oiling wheels of your train

With Him to fully reign;

Giving you great exploits

Overcoming wicked plots

Taking your rightful place

All because of His grace.

 

 

      Psalms 20: The Assurance of God’s Saving Work To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

¹      May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;

²      May He send you help from the sanctuary, And strengthen you out of Zion;

³      May He remember all your offerings, And accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah

⁴      May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,
And fulfill all your purpose.

⁵      We will rejoice in your salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

⁶      Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand.

⁷      Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

⁸      They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright.

⁹      Save, LORD! May the King answer us when we call.

Psalms 65

¹¹ You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.

exceedingly tempest-tossed Acts 27:18
