Hey everyone, this is Mary Dumuth and this is Pray Every Day, where I pray through the Bible verse by verse with intention and with joy.

And I'm so glad you're here. We are working our way through the Psalms. And if you're new here, welcome.

I read from the World English Bible because it's a free translation. And basically all I do here is I read the Word of God.

Right now we're going through the Psalms and then I pray for

you according to what I've just read. And this is a very simple way for you to grow and improve your

prayer life is to simply pray the words of God back to him. It's really quite easy. And it kind of

takes the pressure off. So I hope that's helpful to you. And if you'd like to give me any feedback about the show or let me know how you found it,

you can email me directly at marytemuth.com.

All right.

Psalm 85 versus 25 through 52 in the World English Bible.

This is what it says.

I will set his hand also on the sea and his right hand on the rivers. He will call to me,

you are my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. I will also appoint him my firstborn,

the highest of the kings of the earth. I will keep my loving kindness for him forevermore.

My covenant will stand firm with him. I will also make his

offspring endure forever and his throne as the days of heaven. If his children forsake my law

and don't walk in my ordinances, if they break my statutes and don't keep my commandments, then I will

punish their sin with a rod and their

iniquity with stripes, but I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my

faithfulness to fail. I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered.

Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David. His offspring will

endure forever his throne like the sun before me. It will be established forever like the moon,
