This reminds me of Gen. Patton's favorite psalm:

63 1 O GOD, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

3 Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise

thee with joyful lips:

6 When I remember thee upon my bed and meditate on thee in the night watches.

7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I

rejoice.

8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the

earth.

10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.*

11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory:

but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.



*It doesn't take a great Biblical scholar to realize that this means "We will chop your a## into dog food"

Patton has always been a favorite of mine.Thanks for posting his prayer.

I studied battle tactics years ago at the Army Staff College in Norfolk,Va.Patton was an absolute requirement of our instructors.You may be surprised, but Lee and Rommel were as well!
