Watching daily at my gates,

All those who hate me love death.”

O Zion, bearer of good news,
Lift up your voice mightily,
O Jerusalem, bearer of good news;

With His arm ruling for Him.
Behold, His reward is with Him

Day 6 / May 19th
Scripture Passage: Psalm 91:5-10
You will not be afraid of the terror by night,
Or of the arrow that flies by day;
Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,

And ten thousand at your right hand,
But it shall not approach you.
You will only look on with your eyes
And see the recompense of the wicked.
For you have made the Lord, my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place.
 No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.
