376 Koodarayogam Prayers
Out of the mouths of babes and infants
You have drawn a defense against your foes,
To silence enemy and avenger.

When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers,
The moon and stars that you set in place.

What are humans that you are mindful of them,
Mere mortals that you care for them?

Yet you have made them little less than a god,
Crowned them with glory and honor.

You have given them rule over the works of your hands,
Put all things at their feet:

All sheep and oxen, even the beasts of the field,
The birds of the air, the fish of the sea,
and whatever swims the paths of the seas.

PSALM 23

The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack.
In green pastures you let me graze;
To safe waters you lead me;

You restore my strength.
You guide me along the right path
For the sake of your name.

Even when I walk through a dark valley,
I fear no harm for you are at my side;
Your rod and staff give me courage.

You set a table before me as my enemies watch;
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Only goodness and love will pursue me
all the days of my life;
I will dwell in the house of the LORD for years to come.

PSALM 25

I wait for you, O LORD; I lift up my soul to my God.

In you I trust; do not let me be disgraced;
Do not let my enemies gloat over me.
