Rejoice in God's Victories (Psalm 18, Part 2)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ps%2018:20-29&version=NIV

May the One who, Himself righteous, suffered on the cross for our sins make us righteous. God’s grace provides the resources we need to cope. As we fear God we depend on His gracious mercy for our lives.

Lord, deal with us according to our righteousness. Help us to keep Your ways. All Your laws are before us; help us not to turn away from Your decrees. Help us to be blameless before You and keep ourselves from sin. You, Lord, reward us according to our righteousness. Thank You that You save the humble.

The Rout (verses 30-45)

The integrity and purity of God’s Word gives victory to those who come to Him in righteousness. He has made our way blameless through His Son’s death and resurrection. May we experience the messianic King as God’s chosen and perfect way.

Thank You that Your way is perfect; Your Word is flawless. Thank You for shielding all who take refuge in You. You arm us with strength and keep our way secure. Thank You, Lord God, that all Your actions are filled with justice, truth, tenderness, mercy, and holiness. Help us to follow Your way.
