Centering Prayer

Saturday’s Meditation – Psalm 144:12-15

May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars,
cut for the building of a palace.
May our barns be filled
with produce of every kind;
may our sheep increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields,
and may our cattle be heavy with young.
May there be no breach in the walls,* no exile,
and no cry of distress in our streets.

Happy are the people to whom such blessings fall;
happy are the people whose God is the Lord.
