Psalm 129

v. 4 But the Lord is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.

Lord, God, you are righteous indeed.  You have made a path for me to follow you, to flee from evil.  You have cut me free from the cords of the wicked.  I confess that, although the cords are cut, sometimes I return to wickedness.  Forgive me and bring me close to you.  I need you, Lord my God.
Amen.

Psalm 128

v. 1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.

Father, you go on to talk about blessing, prosperity, a fruitful spouse and abundant children.  Help me to walk in obedience.  Help me to know your blessing.  I praise you for your power and glory.  Make me your obedient servant.  I love you and need you.  Amen.

Psalm 127

v. 1 Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.  Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.

Lord, build my house and watch over my city.  Use me to help others build houses and cities leaning on you, and allowing you to build through us.  Build us up and watch over us.  We need you in every way.  Amen.

Psalm 126

v. 4 Restore our fortunes, Lord, like streams in the Negev.

Lord, you are so good.  When I wander, bring me back to you.  When I abandon my first love, bring me back to you.  Restore me and make me whole.  Lord my God, bring me back to you.  Amen.
