Psalm 17

1 Hear a just cause, O Lord, give heed to my cry; give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips. 2 Let my judgement come forth from Your presence; let Your eyes look with equity. 3 You have tried my heart; You have visited me by night; You have teseted me and You find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress. 4 As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips I have kept from the paths of the violent. 5 My steps have held fast to Your paths. My feet have not slipped.
6 I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God; incline Your ear to me, hear my speech. 7 Wondorously show Your lovingkindness, O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand from those who rise up against them. 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings 9 from the wicked who despoil me, my deadly enemies who surround me. 10 They have closed their unfeeling heart, with their mouth they speak proudly. 11 They have now surrounded us in our steps; they set their eyes to cast us down to the ground. 12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear, and as a young lion lurking in hiding places.
13 Arise, O Lord, confront him, bring him low; deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword, 14 from men with Your hand, O Lord, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life, and whose belly You fill with Your treasure; they are satisfied with children, and leave their abundance to their babes. 15 As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; I will be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake.

Reading these psalms is really a blessing for my heart because they show so much of God's character, how He provides for david when he asks for help, and how david in spite of all the trials he went through and the affliction he suffered, in the end he praised God, was satisfied with Him and kept on striving for righteousness still more. Urbana was really great, it took a couple days to get used to different worship sets and a different style of preaching, but God used this conference to broaden my view of the church and how it conducts itself, and to humble me from a prideful heart in the way we do things at grace church. And whats also cool is that we got to praise God in spanish, korean, mandarin, and african? languages, and bring in the new year singing and dancing our hearts out in a crowd of 22,000. God is good.

so how do i add my post for psalm 12 without making the order go crazy?
