The Book Of Psalms


INTRODUCTION

My family has faced many challenges over the years. In May of 2014, during the surfacing of a new and

daunting challenge, I determined to read the Book of Psalms, one Psalm per day. I started on

May 9, 2014 and finished on October 29, 2014. There are 150 Psalms. Since there were some days I

missed in this endeavor, I completed the readings in 174 days.

My routine was to read and outline each chapter in a way to help me understand what the Psalmist is

saying. I added some words and substituted some words for clarity and emphasis - - such as, I replaced

“He” with “the Lord” to give emphasis to the name of the Lord. Since this was a means to increase my

own faith, I was not concerned with this being a perfect literary work or the words being exactly as stated

in the Psalm. I was concerned with retaining the meaning of each phrase, thus, changes and additions

were carefully considered. I was concerned with my family being further enabled to overcome the

challenges we face.

After I finished outlining each Psalm, I posted it in a journal style on a Facebook page that I have called

“The Prayer Room” (https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Prayer-Room/571854196193443). The

intent is to provide this work to anyone who wants to partake in what I am doing.

As I progressed, I decided that I would put each Psalm into a journal for future reference. Thus, this

document was developed over the period of my reading. I call it “A Daily Message and Journey”.

All Psalms were read and recorded using the New King James version. When I did not understand what

was said, I referred to other versions, such as, King James, The Message, and The Living Bible. If the

version is not stated for a Psalm, then it is from the New King James. When other versions are recorded,

the version is stated. In those cases, I recorded both versions of the Psalm.

During this journey, I learned that the Psalms are ordered in “The 5 Fold Division of the Torah”.

I provide information on that in the pages following the Table of Contents. The divisions are:

Book 1: Psalms 1 to 41 Genesis 41 Psalms

Book 2: Psalms 42 to 72 Exodus 31 Psalms

Book 3: Psalms 73 to 89 Leviticus 17 Psalms

Book 4: Psalms 90 to 106 Numbers 17 Psalms

Book 5: Psalms 107 to 150 Deuteronomy 44 Psalms

150 Psalms

I learned some striking things during this journey. I will not expound on them now.

This document is primarily for my use and not for sale. This document is available to anyone who might

find it useful to increasing their knowledge and faith in what the Psalms are teaching us.

The 5 Fold Division of the Torah Page 13 of 316

THE BOOK OF PSALMS

5 SECTIONS

IMITATING THE 5 FOLD DIVISION OF THE TORAH

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalms

BENEDICTIONS AND SUPERSCRIPTIONS

The Book of Psalms is divided into five sections, each closing with a doxology (i.e., a benediction) –

These divisions were probably introduced by the final editors to imitate the 5 fold division of the Torah:

Book 1 Psalms 1 to 41




Book 5 Psalms 107 to 150[4]

Many psalms (116 of the 150) have individual superscriptions (titles), ranging from lengthy comments

to a single word.

Over 1/3 appear to be musical directions, addressed to the "leader" or "choirmaster," including such

statements as "with stringed instruments" and "according to lilies."

Others appear to be references to types of musical composition, such as "A psalm" and "Song," or

directions regarding the occasion for using the psalm ("On the dedication of the temple," "For the

memorial offering," etc.).

Some carry the names of individuals, the most common being David, and 13 of these relate explicitly to

incidents in the king's life.[5]

FIVE BOOKS OF PSALMS http://www.lwbc.co.uk/5_books_of_psalms.htm

Each section of the book of Psalms corresponds to the first five books of the Old Testament, The Pentateuch.

There appears to be a format that leads us through the Psalms in the same way that Moses led his readers from Creation in Genesis to Israel’s entrance into the Promised Land in Deuteronomy.

In some respect the book of Psalms can also be seen as

a history of Israel from King David to the Restoration and the Millennial Kingdom.

The first chapter of each section gives us a preface to what is to follow, while The last chapter is in form of a doxology or a hymn of praise to God.

These are probably sets of songs used at different periods and were added to as more were composed. There is also a possibility that they were songs used by various groups throughout Israel but were eventually brought together. The first option seems the most likely in the light of

Psalm 72:20 - “The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.”

Book 1: Psalms 1 to 41 GENESIS

Book 2: Psalms 42 to 72 EXODUS

Book 3: Psalms 73 to 89 LEVITICUS

Book 4: Psalms 90 to106 NUMBERS

Book 5: Psalms 107 to150 DEUTERONOMY

http://www.lwbc.co.uk/5_books_of_psalms.htm




BOOK 1: PSALMS 1 to 41

There are 41 Psalms in this section and most are composed by David.

Psalms 1, 2, 10, and 33 are anonymous but are usually attributed to David. They reflect much of David’s life and his understanding of the glory of God.

Psalm 1 sets the scene for this book, that is, the man blessed by God is the one who is obedient to His word, while the sinner rejects it and receives His judgment.

Psalm 9 David speaks of the Lord as the God who has the power to deliver from the enemy.

Psalm 10 David knows that God hears and answers prayer.

Psalm 23 David reveals God as the Great Shepherd who watches faithfully over His people.

Psalm 24, David praises Him who is the King of Glory.

Psalm 36, David reveals the God who hates sin but loves those who trust in Him is seen.

Psalm 41, the closing thought of the section speaks of the blessed person as well. It doxology reads, “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting. Amen, and Amen”. We notice here the double Amen.

This group of Psalms relates to the Book of GENESIS. From the perfection of those who are blessed by God we are led to the Salvation of the Lord. Along the way we see the consequences of man’s fall from God and his need for redemption. We see the depravity of man, and how great the love of God is towards the sinner, David asks, “What is man” that God should pay any attention to him? (Psalm 8).

The divine name that is mainly used within this section is Jehovah (LORD).

Every kind of emotion is revealed in these Psalms; from suffering and sorrow to joy and praise.

The psalmist praises God for His justice and love in all of His dealings with man.

BOOK 2: PSALMS 42 TO 72

There are 31 Psalms in this section.

David wrote 18 of them,

Solomon wrote 1 (Psalm 72), and

the rest (12) were written by Korah.

These Psalms were compiled for Tabernacle and Temple services.

David wants us to have a sense of wonder when we worship the Lord, but they also contain

prayers of deliverance.

The divine name that is predominantly used in this book is El or Elohim (God).

This is called the EXODUS section, for in them we get a sense of the nation in ruin but calling out to

God for deliverance. They speak of how God is able to rescue His people.

Psalm 42 sets the scene by crying out for God’s presence in a dry wilderness experience.

The Psalmist continually appeals to God for deliverance from the enemy who is oppressing their soul.

Psalm 72, the book finishes with a prayer of Solomon (72).

The final verses also praise God for His power and might, and His glory.

There is the double Amen again.





There are 17 Psalms in this section.

While Asaph appears to have written (14) most of them,

David wrote Psalm 86,

Heman the Ezraite wrote Psalm 88, and

Ethan the Ezraite wrote Psalm 89.

The divine title used by the psalmist is mainly El or Elohim (God).

This section relates to LEVITICUS due in part to the fact that most of the Psalms were written by

Levitical priests.

These were written to be sung by the temple choirs (liturgical songs).

These Psalms remind us that God alone is holy and that we should remember our place before Him.

When we come into God’s presence (i.e. the temple) we should have reverential fear.

Psalm 73, the introduction to this book announces, “Truly God is good to Israel” (73:1).

God has been just in all of His dealings with the nation of Israel despite the sufferings that the

people often went through.

Psalm 89, the doxology also has the double Amen, and speaks of the fact that God has kept His

covenant with David, therefore He should be worshipped and praised (89).


These 17 Psalms are anonymous

except for Psalm 90 written by Moses, and

Psalm 101 and Psalm 103 being written by David.

These too were composed for public worship.

In line with the Pentateuch this section would relate to NUMBERS.

Numbers describes the Kingdom of Israel in relation to its neighbors, these Psalms reveal that it is

God’s kingdom that rules over all.

There are also pre-captivity sentiments, but the emphasis is on praise toward God for His blessings.

The name used for God in this section is mainly Jehovah (LORD).

Psalm 90, the introduction to the section declares confidence in God as Protector of His people (90).

The theme of this section is about the steadfastness and faithfulness of God.

Psalm 106, the doxology praises God for the way He has led Israel until the present day, and

declares that He never changes, He is “from everlasting to everlasting”.

This time the doxology closes with Amen and Hallelujah (Praise the Lord).




BOOK 5: PSALMS 107 TO150

This section contains 44 Psalms.

15 are ascribed to David and

1 to Solomon (Psalm 127).

These Psalms praise God for His word.

Thanksgiving is the major theme of this book.

God wants the most perfect sacrifice of all, our faithfulness and obedience to His revealed will.

This is similar to the book of DEUTERONOMY since it speaks of a new beginning in the Promised

Land.

These Psalms express the thoughts, prayers, and experiences of the captives and their return to

Jerusalem.

‘Jehovah’ is used as the divine name in this last section of the Psalms

Psalm 107 is the introduction to the section. It acknowledges the delivering power of God.

Psalm 150, the doxology is found in Psalm 150 but really should include Psalms 145-150.

They thank God in every possible way for His goodness towards His people.

Hallelujah ends this final section as a note of joyfulness and gladness.

TODAY's PRAYER IS FOR

Protection From THE UNGODLY

Help For THE RIGHTEOUS

PSALM 1

New King James Version

The Way of THE RIGHTEOUS and

The End of THE UNGODLY

Blessed is THE MAN

… Who walks not in the counsel of THE UNGODLY,

… Who stands not in the path of SINNERS,

… Who sits not in the seat of THE SCORNFUL;

… But

… … his delight is in the law of the Lord,

… … he meditates day and night in His law.

… He shall be like

… … A TREE planted by the rivers of water,

… … … That brings forth its fruit in its season,

… … … Whose leaf also shall not wither;

… Whatever he does shall prosper.

THE UNGODLY are not so,

… But

… … are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

… … … Therefore

… … … … THE UNGODLY shall not stand in the judgment,

… … … … SINNERS shall not stand in the congregation of THE RIGHTEOUS.

For THE LORD KNOWS the way of THE RIGHTEOUS,

But the way of THE UNGODLY shall perish.

Protection From THE OPPRESSORS

Blessing For THE OPPRESSED

PSALM 2 - The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom

WHY do the nations rage,

WHY do the people plot a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves,

The rulers take counsel together,

... against the Lord

... against His Anointed, saying,

… … “Let us break their bonds in pieces

.... … Let us cast away their cords from us.”

The Lord who sits in the heavens shall LAUGH;

The Lord shall hold them in DERISION.

...Then The Lord shall speak to them in His WRATH,

...The The Lord shall distress them in His deep DISPLEASURE:

.......“Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.”

...... “I will declare the decree:

............ The Lord has said to Me,

............... ‘You are My Son,

................ Today I have begotten You.

................ Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance,

................ Ask of Me, and I will give You the ends of the earth for Your possession.

................ You shall break them with a rod of iron;

................ You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’”

Now THEREFORE,

... Be wise, O kings;

... Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

... Serve the Lord with fear,

... Rejoice with trembling.

... Kiss the Son,

... ... lest He be angry

... ... lest you perish in the way,

... ... ... When His wrath is kindled but a little.

BLESSED ARE ALL THOSE WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN HIM, THE LORD.

PSALM 4 - The Safety of the Faithful

A Psalm of David, to the Chief Musician, with stringed instruments.

O GOD OF MY RIGHTEOUSNESS

... Hear me when I call,

... You have relieved me in my distress;

... Have MERCY on me,

... Hear my prayer.

O YOU SONS OF MEN,

... How long will you turn my glory to shame?

... How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood?

But ...

KNOW that the Lord has set apart for Himself HIM WHO IS GODLY;

The Lord will hear when I call to Him.

Be angry and do not sin.

Meditate within your heart on your bed,

Be still.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,

Put your TRUST IN THE LORD.

There are many who say,

... “Who will show us any good?”

Lord,

... Lift up the light of YOUR COUNTENANCE UPON US.

... You have put gladness in my heart,

... ... More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.

I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;

O Lord,

... For You alone make me dwell in safety.

... FOR YOU ALONE MAKE ME DWELL IN SAFETY.

Prayers for Protection from Enemies

PSALM 5 - A Prayer for Guidance

A Psalm of David with flutes to the Chief Musician.

O Lord,

... Give ear to my words,

... Consider my meditation.

... Give heed to the voice of my cry,

My King and my God,

... For to You I WILL PRAY.

O Lord,

... You shall hear MY VOICE in the morning,

... I will direct MY VOICE to You in the morning,

... I will look up.

... ... For

... ... ... You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,

... ... ... Nor shall evil dwell with You.

The boastful shall not stand in Your sight;

You hate all workers of iniquity.

You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;

The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

But

AS FOR ME,

... I will COME INTO Your house in the multitude of YOUR MERCY;

... I will WORSHIP toward Your holy temple In fear of You .

O Lord,

... LEAD ME in YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS because of MY ENEMIES;

... Make Your way straight before my face.

... ...For

... ... ... There is no faithfulness in their mouth;

... ... ... Their inward part is destruction;

... ... ... Their throat is an open tomb;

... ... ... They flatter with their tongue.





O God!

... Pronounce them guilty,

... Let them fall by their own counsels;

... Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,

... ... For

... ... ... they have rebelled against You.

But

... Let all those who put their trust in You

... ... REJOICE;

... ... ever SHOUT for joy because You defend them;

... Let those who love Your name

... ... BE JOYFUL in You.

... ... ... For

... ... ... ... You, O Lord, will BLESS THE RIGHTEOUS;

... ... ... ... You will surround him with FAVOR as with a shield.

Our Defense Comes from God as We Praise to His Righteousness

PSALM 7 - PRAYER and PRAISE for DELIVERANCE from Enemies

A Meditation of David which he sang to the Lord

concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite.

O Lord my God,

... In You I put my TRUST;

... SAVE me from all those who persecute me;

... DELIVER me,

... Lest they tear me like a lion,

... ... rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

O Lord my God,

... if I have done this:

... If there is iniquity in my hands,

... If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me,

... If I have plundered my enemy without cause,

... Then

... ... Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me;

... ... Let the enemy trample my life to the earth,

... ... Lay my honor in the dust.

... ... ... Selah

O Lord my God,

... ARISE in Your anger;

... LIFT Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;

... RISE UP for me to the judgment You have commanded!

... ... So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You;

... ... Return on high for their sakes.

The Lord shall JUDGE the peoples;

O Lord my God,

... JUDGE me according to my righteousness,

... JUDGE me according to my integrity within me.

... Let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,

... Establish the just;

... ... For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.

My defense is of God,

... God saves the upright in heart.

... God is a just judge,

... God is angry with the wicked every day.





If God does not turn back,

... He will sharpen His sword;

... He bends His bow and makes it ready.

... He prepares for Himself instruments of death;

... He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.

BEHOLD,

... the wicked brings forth iniquity;

... the wicked conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.

... the wicked made a pit and dug it out,

... the wicked has fallen into the ditch which he made.

... the wicked's trouble shall return upon his own head,

... the wicked's violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.

I will PRAISE the Lord according to His righteousness,

I will SONG PRAISE to the name of the Lord Most High.

Trusting in The Lord and

Announcing to Enemies that The Lord is in Charge

PSALM 9 - Prayer & Thanks for the Lord’s Righteous Judgments

A Psalm of David

to the tune of “Death of the Son”,

to the Chief Musician.

O Lord,

... I will PRAISE You with my whole heart;

... I will TELL of all Your marvelous works.

... I will BE GLAD and rejoice in You;

O Most High

... I will SING praise to Your name.

When my enemies turn back,

... They shall fall and perish at Your presence.

... ... For

... ... ... You have maintained my right and my cause;

... ... ... You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.

... ... ... You have rebuked the nations,

... ... ... You have destroyed the wicked;

... ... ... You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

O enemy,

... destructions are finished forever!

... you have destroyed cities;

... Even their memory has perished.

But

The Lord shall endure forever;

The Lord has prepared His throne for JUDGMENT.

The Lord shall judge the world in RIGHTEOUS,

The Lord shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

The Lord will be a REFUGE for the oppressed,

... A refuge in times of trouble.

... Those who know Your name will put their trust in You;

... ... For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

SING praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!

DECLARE His deeds among the people.

When The Lord avenges blood,

... He REMEMBERS them;

... He DOES NOT FORGET the cry of the humble.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Prayer-Room/571854196193443?hc_location=timeline





O Lord!

... Have MERCY on me.

... Consider my trouble from those who hate me,

... You who lift me up from the gates of death,

... ... That I may tell of all Your praise

... ... ... In the gates of the daughter of Zion.

... ... ... ... I will rejoice in Your salvation.

The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;

Their own foot is caught in the net which they hid.

The Lord is known by the JUDGMENT He executes;

The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.

... ... ... Meditation... ... ... Selah

The wicked, all the nations that forget God

The wicked shall be turned into hell.

The needy shall not always be forgotten;

The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

O Lord,

... ARISE,

... Do not let man prevail;

... Let the nations be judged in Your sight.

O Lord,

... Put them in fear,

... ... That the nations may know themselves to be but men.

TODAY's PSALM IS A PRAYER IS FOR

No matter how bad things look,

God Sees and Hears and Brings Justice for His Own

PSALM 10

A SONG of Confidence in GOD's TRIUMPH OVER EVIL

O Lord

... WHY do You stand afar off?

... WHY do You hide in times of trouble?

... The wicked persecutes the poor in his pride ;

... Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

... ... For

... ... ... the wicked's ways are always prospering;

... ... ... the wicked's mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression;

... ... ... the wicked's tongue yields trouble and iniquity.

... ... ... the wicked's eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.

... ... ... the wicked has said in his heart,

... ... ... ... “I shall not be moved;

... ... ... ... I shall never be in adversity.”

... ... ... the wicked has said in his heart,

... ... ... ... “God has forgotten;

... ... ... ... God hides His face;

... ... ... ... God will never see.”

... ... ... the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire;

... ... ... the wicked blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.

... ... ... the wicked is proud and does not seek God;

... ... ... the wicked does not have God in his thoughts.

... ... ... the wicked has Your judgments far above, out of his sight;

... ... ... the wicked sneers at all his enemies.

... ... ... the wicked sits in the lurking places of the villages;

... ... ... the wicked crouches,

... ... ... the wicked lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;

... ... ... the wicked lies in wait to catch the poor;

... ... ... the wicked lies low,

... ... ... ... that the helpless may fall by his strength.

... ... ... the wicked catches the poor when he draws him into his net.

... ... ... the wicked murders the innocent in the secret places;






O Lord,

... ARISE!

O God

... LIFT UP Your hand!

... DO NOT FORGET the humble.

O God

... WHY do the wicked renounce God?

... the wicked has said in his heart,

... ... “You will not require an account.”

BUT,

GOD,

... You have seen,

... You observe trouble and grief,

... ... To repay it by Your hand.

... The helpless commits himself to You;

... You are the helper of the fatherless.

... Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;

... Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

THE LORD IS KING forever and ever;

The nations have perished out of His land.

LORD,

... YOU HAVE HEARD the desire of the humble;

... You will PREPARE their heart;

... You will cause Your ear to HEAR,

... ... To do JUSTICE to the fatherless and the oppressed,

... ... That the man of the earth may OPPRESS NO MORE.

3 minutes ago · Like

The Prayer Room In the first 10 Psalms, I have noticed that there is much said about "the wicked".

The Psalmist must have been under great oppression to say so much about "the wicked". The Psalmist

seems to say much less about "The Lord", "God", but yet he has confidence that "The Lord", his

"God" will "Arise" and oppose "the oppression" and "bring justice".

TODAY's COMMENTS

“The Wicked” are Spoken of Much in Psalms 1 to 10

SELAH - MEDITATE - CONSIDER!

In "The Prayer Room", the last 10 posts have been prayers that are the first 10 Psalms of the Bible.

As I did each post, I read many statements about "the wicked", what they do, how they act, what they say,

how they oppress.......over and over. Then I read some statements about how God delivers from that

oppression. There and many more statements about "the wicked" than there are about God. Why is that?

David was surely under great oppression to repeat what "the wicked" do so many times. He listed those

items. He finally got around to God, knowing that He had the answer.

Who are "the wicked"? Are they spiritual enemies? Are they physical enemies? Are people wicked? How

do we deal with that, in the spirit and in the physical?

Who wants to even say the words "the wicked". It's not how we usually talk about people. But, there are

people who are not interested in your well being. There are people who will lie, cheat, steal, murder, and

do all sorts of "wicked" things. They may even try to do those things to you.

So what do we do with "the wicked". I need to consider that more, but firstly, go to God in a prayer, go to

God in Psalms, and express your heart to Him . . . then as He promises, He will bring judgment and

release you from oppressions. He will. He says He will if we trust in Him.

"Fear not, for I am with you, says The Lord."

Amen

PSALM 11 - Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness


In the Lord I put my TRUST;

... How can you say to my soul,

... ... “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

... ... ... the wicked bend their bow,

If the foundations are destroyed,

... What can the righteous do?

The Lord is in His holy temple,

The Lord’s throne is in heaven;

The Lord’s eyes behold,

The Lord’s eyelids test the sons of men.

The Lord tests the righteous,

But

The Lord's soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence, .

... ... Fire and brimstone and a burning wind

PSALM 12 -

Man’s TREACHERY and God’s CONSTANCY

A Psalm of David on an eight-stringed harp to the Chief Musician

Lord,

... Help,

... ... For THE GODLY MAN ceases!

... ... For THE FAITHFUL disappear from among the sons of men.

Everyone speaks idly everyone with his neighbor;

... With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

... May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,

... May the Lord cut off the tongue that speaks proud things,

... ... Who have said,

... ... ... “With OUR TONGUE we will prevail;

Our lips are our own;

... Who is LORD over us?”

... ... The Lord says,

... ... ... “For the oppression of the poor,

... ... ... For the sighing of the needy,

... ... ... ... Now

... ... ... ... ... I will arise;

... ... ... ... ... I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”

The words of the Lord are

... pure words,

... Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,

... Purified seven times.

... You shall keep them, O Lord,

... You shall preserve them from this generation forever.

The wicked prowl on every side,

When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

______________________________________________

As I consider all the horrible things that are happening today, in our country and around the world, then as

I read this Psalm 11, I must consider what God is thinking about what is happening, about how far we

have gone from His ways to our own ways.

The title for this Psalm includes the word "TREACHERY". Is man "treacherous" in many of his ways.

I would have to say yes. Many have cast off moral restraints. Many celebrate in their immorality.

Why do they not know right from wrong? Why do they call right things to be wrong, and wrong things to

be right? Is it because of the "CONSTANCY" of God ..... He never changes, He never makes right

wrong, and wrong right. Right is right and wrong is wrong? RIGHTEOUSNESS is righteousness and

SIN is sin.

Lord, God, help us to see Your CONSTANCY and to turn from our TREACHERY. Amen

... I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer.

Uphold my steps in Your paths,

... That my footsteps may not slip.

O God,

... I have called upon You,

... ... For You will hear me;

... Incline Your ear to me,

... Hear my speech.

... Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand,

O God,

... You who SAVE those who TRUST in You

... ... From those who rise up against them.

... ... ... Keep me as the apple of Your eye;

... ... ... Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,

... ... From the wicked who oppress me,

... ... From my deadly enemies

... ... ... They surround me.

... ... ... They have closed up their fat hearts;

... ... ... They speak proudly with their mouths .

... ... ... They have now surrounded us in our steps;

... ... ... They have set their eyes,

... ... ... ... Crouching down to the earth,

... ... ... ... ... As a lion is eager to tear his prey,

... ... ... ... ... Like a young lion lurking in secret places.

O Lord,

... ARISE,

... Confront him,

... Cast him down;

... DELIVER my life

... ... From the wicked

... ... ... With Your sword,

... ... ... With Your hand from men, O Lord,

... ... From men of the world

... ... ... Who have their portion in this life,

... ... ... Whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure.

... ... ... They are satisfied with children,

... ... ... They leave the rest of their possession for their babes.

As for me,

... I will see Your face in righteousness;

... I shall be satisfied when I AWAKE IN YOUR LIKENESS.

NOTE: I started these posts with Psalm 1 and progressed consecutively to Psalm 17. Today, because of

my dear friend, Mel, I am posting Psalm 34. Mel taught me things in this Psalm 34 that are life

changing.......and seemed to take effect today in my life.

You children,

... Come to me,

... Listen to me;

... I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Who is the man

... who desires life,

... who loves many days, that he may see good?

Keep your tongue from evil,

Keep your lips from speaking deceit.

Depart from evil and

Do good;

Seek peace and

Pursue peace.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,

The ears of the Lord are open to their cry.

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

... To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

The righteous CRY OUT, and

... the Lord HEARS,

... the Lord DELIVERS them out of all their troubles.

The Lord is NEAR to those who have a broken heart,

The Lord SAVES such as have a contrite spirit.

Many are the AFFLICTIONS of the righteous,

... But

... The Lord DELIVERS him out of them all.

... The Lord GUARDS all his bones;

... ... ... Not one of his bones is broken.

Evil shall slay the wicked,

Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

The Lord REDEEMS the soul of His servants,

None of those who TRUST in Him shall be condemned.

TODAY's PSALM IS A PRAYER IS ABOUT

Our God Who Makes All Things Possible

Our God Who Fights Our Battles

Our God Who Is Great and Mighty For Us

PSALM 18 - GOD THE SOVERIGN SAVIOR


David, the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day that the

Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

And David said:

O Lord,

... You are my strength.

... I will love You.

The Lord is my rock.

The Lord is my fortress.

The Lord is my deliverer.

My God,

... You are my strength

... In You I will trust;

... You are my shield

... You are the horn of my salvation,

... You are my stronghold.

I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;

... So shall I be saved from my enemies.

The pangs of death ................surrounded me,

The floods of ungodliness .....made me afraid.

The sorrows of Sheol .............surrounded me;

The snares of death ...............confronted me.

In my distress

... I called upon the Lord,

... I cried out to my God;

... He heard my voice from His temple,

... My cry came before Him, even to His ears.









Then

... The earth shook and trembled;

... The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,

... ... Because He was angry.

Smoke ................went up from His nostrils,

Devouring fire ....went up from His mouth;

... ... ... ... ... ... ... .Coals were kindled by it.

He bowed the heavens also,

He came down with darkness under His feet.

He rode upon a cherub, and flew;

He flew upon the wings of the wind.

He made darkness His secret place;

His canopy around Him was dark waters, thick clouds of the skies.

From the brightness before Him,

... His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.

The Lord thundered from heaven,

The Most High uttered His voice,

... Hailstones and coals of fire.

The Lord sent out His arrows and scattered the foe,

The Lord sent out lightnings in abundance,

The Lord vanquished them.

O Lord,

... At Your rebuke,

... At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

... ... Then

... ... ... The channels of the sea were seen,

... ... ... The foundations of the world were uncovered

The Lord sent from above,

The Lord took me;

The Lord drew me out of many waters.

The Lord delivered me

... From my strong enemy,

... From those who hated me,

... ... For

... ... ... They were too strong for me.

... ... ... They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

... ... ... ... But

... ... ... ... ... The Lord was my support.

The Lord also brought me out into a broad place;

The Lord delivered me because He delighted in me.





The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; The Lord has recompensed me according to the cleanness of my hands ... For ... ... I have kept the ways of the Lord, ... ... I have not wickedly departed from my God. ... For ... ... All His judgments were before me, ... ... I did not put away His statutes from me. ... ... I was also blameless before Him, ... ... I kept myself from my iniquity. Therefore ... The Lord has recompensed me ... ... According to my righteousness, ... ... According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight. ... With the merciful ...............You will show Yourself merciful; ... With a blameless man .....You will show Yourself blameless; ... With the pure .....................You will show Yourself pure; ... With the devious ...............You will show Yourself shrewd. For ... .You will save the humble people, But ... .You will bring down haughty looks. For ... .You will light my lamp; ... ... ... The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. For ... By You I can run against a troop, ... ... ... By my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, ... His way is perfect; ... The word of the Lord is proven; ... He is a shield to all who trust in Him. For who is God, except the Lord? For who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength, It is God who makes my way perfect. It is God who makes my feet like the feet of deer, It is God who sets me on my high places. It is God who teaches my hands to make war, ... So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me, ... So my feet did not slip. I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; ... Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed. I have wounded them, ... So that they could not rise; ... They have fallen under my feet.





For

... You have armed me with strength for the battle;

... You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

... You have also given me the necks of my enemies,

... ... So that I destroyed those who hated me.

... ... ... They cried out, but there was none to save;

... ... ... They cried out even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

... ... ... ... Then

... ... ... ... ... I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind;

... ... ... ... ... I cast them out like dirt in the streets.

You have delivered me from the strivings of the people;

You have made me the head of the nations;

A people I have not known shall serve me.

As soon as they hear of me they obey me;

The foreigners submit to me.

The foreigners fade away,

The foreigners come frightened from their hideouts.

The Lord lives!

Blessed be my Rock!

Let the God of my salvation be exalted.

It is God who avenges me,

It is God subdues the peoples under me;

It is God delivers me from my enemies.

You also lift me up above those who rise against me;

You have delivered me from the violent man.

Therefore

... I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the Gentiles,

... I will give sing praises to Your name.

He gives great deliverance to His king,

He shows mercy to His anointed, to David and his descendants forevermore.

May 31



A New Day

A Right Purpose

Doing It God's Way

Father,

Something needs to change in me.

Something needs to be refocused in me.

Show me how to do that.

Show me what to do.

Put Your thoughts in my head.

Put Your purposes for me in clear view.

Father,

It seems that I need a new start.

It seems that I need a change, an adjustment.

What needs to be new?

What needs to be adjusted?

I cannot do this rightly on my own.

I cannot do this rightly without Your Spirit.

Father,

My ways have not worked.

My ways are not Your ways.

I live in the natural.

I need to live in the supernatural.

Show me how.

Show me Your steps for me.

Father,

You made me.

You have a path for me.

You have a purpose for me.

Father,

It not just for me.

It is for my family.

It is for those around me

It is for those I meet.

Father,

We start fresh today!

It is a new day.

It is time.








PSALM 33

The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous!

For praise from the upright is beautiful.

Praise the Lord with the harp;

Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.

SING TO HIM A NEW SONG;

Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

For the word of the Lord is right,

And all His work is done in truth.

He loves righteousness and justice;

The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

The Prayer Room King David, before he was king, was greatly oppressed by enemies to the point of

his enemies wanting to take his life.

On David's day of deliverance he wrote about his oppressors and His God. Though his oppressors

greatly pursued him, His God greatly delivered him.

Sunday, June 2, 2014, 9:10 am TODAY's PSALM IS A PRAYER IS ABOUT The HEAVENS Declare Our Redeemer PSALM 19 - THE PERFECT REVELATION OF THE LORD A Psalm of David to the Chief Musician The HEAVENS declare the glory of God; The FIRMAMENT shows His handiwork. Day unto day ...........utters speech, Night unto night .......reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language ... Where their voice is not heard. ... ... Their line has gone out through all the earth, ... ... Their words to the end of the world. In the HEAVENS ... THE LORD has set a tabernacle for the sun, ... ... Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, ... ... Which rejoices like a strong man to run its race. ... The sun's rising is from one end of heaven, ... The sun's circuit to the other end of heaven; ... There is nothing hidden from the sun's heat. The LAW ..........................of the Lord is perfect, ......converting the soul; The TESTIMONY .............of the Lord is sure, ..........making wise the simple; The STATUTES ...............of the Lord are right, .......rejoicing the heart; The COMMANDMENT ....of the Lord is pure, ...........enlightening the eyes; The FEAR ........................of the Lord is clean, .........enduring forever; The JUDGMENTS ...........of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. ... They are more to be desired than gold, ... They are more to be desired than much fine gold; ... They are sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. ... Moreover ... ... by them Your servant is warned, ... ... ... ... ... ... ... In keeping them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; ... Let them not have dominion over me. ... ... Then I shall be blameless, ... ... Then I shall be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth Let the meditation of my heart ... Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, ... my strength ... my Redeemer.

... FULFILL all your petitions.

Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;

He will

... ANSWER His anointed from His holy heaven

... ... with the saving strength of His right hand.









Some trust in chariots, and

Some trust in horses;

But

we will

... REMEMBER the name of the Lord our God.

Those who trust in chariots and horses

... have bowed down and fallen;

But

We

... HAVE RISEN and

... STAND UPRIGHT.

SAVE, Lord!

May the King ANSWER us

TODAY's PSALM IS A PRAYER ABOUT

A Declaration that HE has Done This for His People!

PSALM 22 - The Suffering, Praise, and Posterity of THE MESSIAH

A Psalm of David to the Chief Musician, Set to “The Deer of the Dawn.”

My God, My God,

... Why have You forsaken Me (The Messiah)?

... Why are You so far from helping Me (The Messiah),

... Why are You so far from the words of My groaning (The Messiah) ?

O My God,

... I cry in the daytime, ... ... ... but You do not hear;

... I cry in the night season, and am not silent.

But

... You are holy,

... You are enthroned in the praises of Israel.

Our fathers trusted in You;

Our fathers trusted, ... ... ... and You delivered them.

Our fathers cried to You, ... and You delivered them;

Our fathers trusted in You, and You were not ashamed.

But

... I am a worm, and no man;

... I am a reproach of men, and

... I am despised by the people.

... All those who see Me (The Messiah) ridicule Me (The Messiah);

... All those who see Me (The Messiah) shoot out the lip,

... All those who see Me (The Messiah) shake the head,

... All those who see Me (The Messiah) say,

... ... “He trusted in the Lord,

... ... ... Let the Lord rescue Him (The Messiah);

... ... ... Let the Lord deliver Him (The Messiah),

... ... ... ... since He delights in Him (The Messiah)!”









But

... You are He who took Me (The Messiah) out of the womb;

... You made Me trust while on My (The Messiah's) mother’s breasts.

... I was cast upon You from birth.

... You have been My God from My (The Messiah's) mother’s womb.

... Be not far from Me (The Messiah),

... ... For trouble is near;

... ... For there is none to help.

... ... Many bulls have surrounded Me (The Messiah);

... ... Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me (The Messiah).

... ... Strong bulls gape at Me (The Messiah) with their mouths,

... ... ... Like a raging and roaring lion.

... ... I am poured out like water,

... ... All My bones are out of joint;

... ... My heart is like wax;

... ... My heart has melted within Me (The Messiah).

... ... My strength is dried up like a potsherd,

... ... My tongue clings to My (The Messiah's) jaws;

... ... You have brought Me (The Messiah) to the dust of death.

... ... For dogs have surrounded Me (The Messiah);

... ... The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me (The Messiah) .

... ... The congregation of the wicked has pierced My (The Messiah's) hands and feet;

... ... I can count all My bones.

... ... The wicked look and stare at Me (The Messiah).

... ... The wicked divide My (The Messiah's) garments among them,

... ... The wicked cast lots for My (The Messiah's) clothing.

But

... O Lord,

... ... Do not be far from Me (The Messiah);

... O My Strength,

... ... Hasten to help Me (The Messiah)!

... ... Deliver Me (The Messiah) from the sword,

... ... Deliver My (The Messiah's) precious life from the power of the dog.

... ... Save Me (The Messiah) from the lion’s mouth

... ... Same Me (The Messiah) from the horns of the wild oxen!

You have answered Me (The Messiah).

I will declare Your name to My (The Messiah's) brethren;

I will praise You in the midst of the assembly.

Praise Him, ... you who fear the Lord!

Glorify Him, ... all you descendants of Jacob,

Frear Him, .... all you offspring of Israel!





For

... He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;

... He has not hidden His face from Him (The Messiah);

But

... He heard when the afflicted cried to Him.

My praise shall be of You in the great assembly;

I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.

The poor shall eat and be satisfied;

Those who seek Him will praise the Lord.

Let your heart live forever!

All the ends of the world .................. Shall remember and turn to the Lord,

All the families of the nations .......... Shall worship before You.

... For

... ... The kingdom is the Lord’s,

... ... He rules over the nations.

All the prosperous of the earth ... ......Shall eat and worship;

All those who go down to the dust ... Shall bow before Him,

He who cannot keep himself alive ... Shall bow before Him,

A future generation shall serve Him.

A future generation will be recounted of the Lord ,

A future generation will come and

A future generation will declare His righteousness

... to a people who will be born,

... that He has done this.

PSALM 23 - The Lord the SHEPHERD of His People

A Psalm of David.

THE LORD is MY SHEPHERD;

I shall not want. (I shall not lack any good thing)

The Lord MAKES ME .... to lie down in green pastures;

The Lord LEADS ME ..... beside the still waters.

The Lord RESTORES ... my soul;

The Lord LEADS ME ..... in the paths of righteousness

... For His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil;

... ... You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

... ... You anoint my head with oil;

... ... My cup runs over.

Surely

THE SINNER, THE HUMBLE, THE FEARFUL OF THE LORD

THEY RECEIVE SOOOOOO MUCH.

THANK YOU LORD.

PSALM 25 - A Plea for DELIVERANCE and FORGIVENESS

A Psalm of David.

O Lord,

... I lift up my soul to You.

O my God,

... I trust in You;

Let me not be ashamed;

Let not my enemies triumph over me.

Let no one who waits on You be ashamed, indeed;

Let those who deal treacherously without cause be ashamed.

O Lord,

... Show me Your ways;

... Teach me Your paths.

... Lead me in Your truth, and

... Teach me,

... ... For

... ... ... You are the God of my salvation;

... ... ... On You I wait all the day.

O Lord,

... Remember Your tender mercies and

... Remember Your lovingkindnesses,

... ... For they are from of old.

... Remember NOT the sins of my youth,

... Remember NOT my transgressions;

... Remember me according to Your mercy,

... ... For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.

The Lord is

... Good and Upright;

... ... Therefore,

... ... ... The Lord teaches SINNERS in the way.

... ... ... The Lord guides THE HUMBLE in justice,

... ... ... The Lord teaches THE HUMBLE His way.









All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth,

... To those who KEEP His covenant and His testimonies.

O Lord,

... For Your name’s sake,

... ... Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

Who is the man that FEARS THE LORD?

... He shall be taught by Lord in the way He chooses.

... He shall dwell in prosperity,

... His descendants shall inherit the earth.

... The SECRET OF THE LORD is with those who fear Him,

... The Lord will show HIS COVENANT to those who fear Him.

My eyes are ever toward the Lord,

... For

... ... The Lord shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Turn Yourself to me, and

Have mercy on me,

... For I am desolate and afflicted.

... The troubles of my heart have enlarged;

Bring me out of my distresses!

Look on my affliction and my pain,

FORGIVE all my sins.

Consider my enemies,

... for they are many;

... ... they hate me with cruel hatred.

Keep my soul, and

DELIVER me;

Let me not be ashamed,

... for I put my trust in You.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,

... For I WAIT for You.

O God,

... REDEEM Israel out of all their troubles!

The LORD is

… My Light … … and

When the wicked came against me

… To eat up my flesh,

ONE THING will I seek:

… … That I may DWELL in the house of the LORD

Do not hide YOUR FACE from me;

Do not turn Your servant away in anger;

You have been my help;

Do not leave me nor forsake me,

O God Of My Salvation.

… When my father and my mother forsake me,

… … Then the LORD will take care of me.

O LORD,

… Teach me Your way,

… Lead me in a smooth path,

… Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;

… GIVE THANKS at the remembrance of His holy name.[b]

… … For

… … … His anger is but for a moment,

… … … His favor is for life;

… Weeping may endure for a night,

… But

… JOY comes in the morning.

Now in my prosperity

… I said,

… … “I shall never be moved.”

LORD,

... You have made my mountain stand strong by Your favor;

… You hid Your face, and

… … I was troubled.

O LORD

… I cried out to You, and

… I made supplication to the LORD:

… … “What profit is there in MY BLOOD,

… … … When I go down to the pit?

… … … Will the dust PRAISE You?

… … … Will the dust DECLARE Your truth?

… … O LORD,

… … … Hear, and

… … … Have mercy on me;

… … LORD,

… … … Be my helper!”

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;

You have put off my sackcloth and

You have clothed me with gladness,

… To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.

O LORD my God,

… I will GIVE THANKS to You forever.

… WHO THE LORD IS

… WE TRUST HIM – WE FEAR HIM

… HE SHALL STRENGTHEN OUR HEARTS

PSALM 31 - THE LORD, a Fortress in Adversity


O LORD,

… I put my trust in You;

… … Let me never be ashamed;

… … Deliver me in Your righteousness.

… … Bow down Your ear to me,

… … Deliver me speedily;

… … BE my rock of refuge,

… … BE a fortress of defense to save me.

For

… YOU ARE my rock and my fortress;

… … Therefore,

… … … for Your name’s sake,

… … … … Lead me and guide me.

… … … … Pull me out of the net

… … … … … which they have secretly laid for me,

… … … … … … For You are my strength.

O LORD GOD OF TRUTH

… Into Your hand I commit my spirit;

… You have redeemed me.

I have hated those who regard useless idols;

… But

… … I trust in the LORD.

… … I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy,

… … … For

… … … … You have considered my trouble;

… … … … You have known my soul in adversities,

… … … … You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy;

… … … … You have set my feet in a wide place.






O LORD,

… HAVE MERCY ON ME,

… … For

… … … I am in trouble;

… … … My eye wastes away with grief,

… … … Yes, my soul and my body!

… … For

… … … My life is spent with grief,

… … … My years are spent with sighing;

… … … My strength fails because of my iniquity,

… … … My bones waste away.

… … … I am a reproach among all my enemies,

… … … I am especially a reproach among my neighbors,

… … … I am repulsive to my acquaintances;

… … … Those who see me outside flee from me.

… … … I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;

… … … I am like a broken vessel.

… … … … For

… … … … … I hear the slander of many;

… … … … … Fear is on every side;

… … … … … While they take counsel together against me,

… … … … … They scheme to take away my life.

But

O LORD;

… as for me, I TRUST IN YOU,

… I say,

… … “YOU ARE MY GOD.”

… … … My times are in Your hand;

… … … … Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,

… … … … Deliver me from those who persecute me.

… … … … Make Your face shine upon Your servant;

… … … … Save me for Your mercies’ sake.

O LORD,

… Do not let me be ashamed,

… … for

… … … I have called upon You;

… Let the wicked be ashamed;

… Let the wicked be silent in the grave.

… Let the lying lips

… … which speak insolent things against the righteous.

… … which speak proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

… … be put to silence,





Oh Lord,

… how great is Your goodness,

… … Which You have laid up

… … … for those who fear You,

… … Which You have prepared

… … … for those who trust in You

… … … in the presence of the sons of men!

You shall hide those who fear You

… in the secret place of Your presence

… From the plots of man;

You shall keep those who fear You

… secretly in a pavilion

… from the strife of tongues.


… For

… … He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city!

… For

… … I said in my haste,

… … … “I am cut off from before Your eyes”;

… … … … Nevertheless

… … … … … You heard the voice of my supplications

… … … … … … When I cried out to You.

Oh,

… All you His saints,

… … love the LORD!

… … … For

… … … … the LORD preserves the faithful,

… … … … the LORD fully repays the proud person.

… All you who hope in the LORD.

… … Be of good courage,

… … And HE SHALL STRENGTHEN YOUR HEART.

… Consider His Forgiveness of Our Sin

… That should bring Mercy, Gladness, Rejoicing

PSALM 32 - The JOY of FORGIVENESS

A Psalm of David. A Contemplation.

Blessed is he whose transgression is FORGIVEN,

Blessed is he whose sin is COVERED.

Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity,

Blessed is the man in whose spirit there is no deceit.

When I kept silent,

… My bones grew old through my groaning all the day long.

… For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;

… My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.

… … SELAH (CONSIDER THIS HAND OF THE LORD)

I acknowledged MY SIN to You,

I have not hidden MY INIQUITY.

… I said,

… … “I will CONFESS my transgressions to the LORD,”

… … … You FORGAVE the iniquity of my sin.

… … … … SELAH (CONSIDER THIS FORGIVENESS)

Therefore

… For this cause (FORGIVENESS)

… … Everyone who is godly shall pray to You

… … … In a time when You may be found;

… … Surely in a flood of great waters

… … … The flood waters shall not come near him.

… … You are my hiding place;

… … You shall preserve me from trouble;

… … You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

I will instruct you …..in the way you should go;

I will teach you …….in the way you should go;

I will guide you …….with My eye.

Do not be like the horse or like the mule,

… Which have no understanding,

… Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,

… … Else they will not come near you.

… … Without a bit and bridle will stray.

To the wicked ……………….Many sorrows shall be;

But

He who trusts in the LORD …..MERCY shall surround.

You righteous ………………..BE GLAD in the LORD

You righteous ………………..REJOICE

All you upright in heart ……...SHOUT FOR JOY!

PSALM 33 - The SOVEREIGNTY of the LORD in Creation and History

O you righteous

… … For

… … … praise from the upright is beautiful.

… PRAISE the LORD with the harp;

… MAKE MELODY to Him with an instrument of ten strings.

… SING to Him a new song;

… PLAY skillfully with a shout of joy.

… … … The Lord loves righteousness and justice;

… … … The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

By the word of the LORD

… the heavens were made,

By the breath of the LORD’S mouth

… all the host of the heavens were made.

He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;

He lays up the deep in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the LORD;

Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

… For

… … He spoke, …………and it was done;

… … He commanded, ….and it stood fast.

The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;

The LORD makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.

The counsel of the LORD stands forever,

The plans of the LORD’s heart stand to all generations.

Blessed is

… The nation whose God is the LORD,

… The people the Lord has chosen as His own inheritance.

The LORD looks from heaven;

The LORD sees all the sons of men.

The Lord looks on all the inhabitants of the earth

… from His dwelling place

… the LORD fashions their hearts individually;

… the LORD considers all their works.






No king ………….is saved by the multitude of an army;

A mighty man …...is not delivered by great strength.

A horse …………..is a vain hope for safety;

A horse …………..shall not deliver any by its great strength.

Behold,

… the eye of the LORD is on those who FEAR HIM,

… the eye of the LORD is on those who HOPE IN HIS MERCY,

… … To deliver their soul from death,

… … To keep them alive in famine.

Our soul WAITS for the LORD;

The Lord is our help.

The Lord is our shield.

… For

… … … Because

… … … … we have trusted in His holy name.

O LORD,

Oh, ... MAGNIFY the LORD with me, ... Let us EXALT the LORD’S name together. I SOUGHT the LORD, ... The LORD HEARD me, ... The LORD DELIVERED me from all MY FEARS. (NOTE THIS WELL) They looked to LORD and They were radiant, Their faces were not ashamed. THIS POOR MAN CRIED OUT, and (NOTE THIS WELL) ... The LORD HEARD him, THIS POOR MAN, and ...

… Their Destruction and Confusion

… Our Vindication … Your Righteousness … Your Praise

PSALM 35 - The LORD the AVENGER of His People

A Psalm of David.

O LORD,

… Plead my cause …….with those who strive with me;

… Fight against ……….those who fight against me.

… Take hold of shield and buckler, ......and

… Stand up ……………for my help. …also

… Draw out ……………the spear, …...and

… Stop …………………those who pursue me.

… Say to my soul,

… … “I am your salvation.”

Let those who seek after my life

… be put to shame and brought to dishonor;

Let those who plot my hurt

… be turned back and

… be brought to confusion.

Let them

… be like chaff before the wind, …And

Let THE ANGEL OF THE LORD chase them.

Let their way

… be dark and slippery, ……..And

Let THE ANGEL OF THE LORD pursue them.

… For

… … without cause

… … … they have hidden their net for me in a pit,

… … … … which they have dug without cause for my life.

Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly, …And

Let his net that he has hidden catch himself;

Let him fall into that very destruction.

And

… My soul shall be joyful in the LORD;

… My soul shall rejoice in His salvation.

… All my bones shall say,

… … “LORD, who is like You,

… … … Delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him,

… … … Yes,

… … … Delivering the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?”






Fierce witnesses rise up;

They ask me things that I do not know.

They reward me evil for good,

… To the sorrow of my soul.

But

as for me,

… when they were sick,

… … My clothing was sackcloth;

… … I humbled myself with fasting; …And

… … My prayer would return to my own heart.

… … I paced about ……………as though he were my friend or brother;

… … I bowed down heavily, ….as one who mourns for his mother.

But

… in my adversity

… … they rejoiced …….and

… … they gathered together;

… … attackers gathered against me,

… … … And I did not know it;

… … attackers tore at me and did not cease;

… … attackers gnashed at me with their teeth

… … … with ungodly mockers at feasts

Lord,

… how long will You look on?

… Rescue me from their destructions,

… Rescue my precious life from the lions.

… … I will give You thanks in the great assembly;

… … I will praise You among many people.

Let them who are wrongfully my enemies …not rejoice over me;

Let them who hate me without a cause …….not wink with the eye.

… For

… … they do not speak peace,

… … But

… … they devise deceitful matters

… … … against the quiet ones in the land.

… …they also opened their mouth wide against me,

… … … and said,

… … … … “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it.”

O LORD,

… This You have seen,;

… Do not keep silence.

O Lord,

… Do not be far from me.

… Stir up Yourself, and

… Awake to my vindication,

My God and My Lord

… Vindicate me to my cause,





O LORD My God,

… Vindicate me according to Your righteousness;

… Let them not rejoice over me.

… Let them not say in their hearts, ….“Ah, so we would have it!”

… Let them not say, …………………“We have swallowed him up.”

… Let them who rejoice at my hurt

… … be ashamed …..and

… Let them

… … be brought to mutual confusion

… Let them who exalt themselves against me

… … be clothed with shame and dishonor

… .Let them who favor my righteous cause

… … shout for joy and

… … be glad,

… Let them

… … say continually,

… … … “Let the LORD be magnified,

… … … … Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

My tongue shall speak of Your righteousness

My tongue shall speak of Your praise … … … all the day long.

PSALM 36 - Man’s Wickedness and GOD’S PERFECTIONS

A Psalm of David the Servant of the LORD to the Chief Musician.

AN ORACLE within MY HEART concerning the transgression of the wicked:

There is no fear of God before the wicked’s eyes.

… For

O LORD,

… You PRESERVE man and beast.

O God,

… How precious is YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS!

… … Therefore

… KEEP YOUR ATTENTION on the LORD

… And leave the rest to God

PSALM 37 - The Heritage of the Righteous and

The Calamity of the Wicked

A Psalm of David.

Do not fret because of evildoers, Do not be envious of the workers of iniquity. … For … … they shall soon be cut down like the grass, … … they shall soon wither as the green herb. TRUST in the LORD, and DO GOOD; DWELL in the land, and FEED on His faithfulness. DELIGHT yourself also in the LORD, and … The LORD shall give you the desires of your heart. COMMIT your way to the LORD, TRUST also in the LORD, … And … … The LORD shall bring it to pass. … … The LORD shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, … … The LORD shall bring forth your justice as the noonday. REST in the LORD, and WAIT patiently for the LORD; Do not fret … because of him who prospers in his way, … because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. CEASE from anger, and FORSAKE wrath; Do not fret— … it only causes harm. … For … … evildoers shall be cut off; … … But … … those who wait on the LORD, … … … shall inherit the earth. … For yet … … a little while and the wicked shall be no more; … … … Indeed, … … … … you will look carefully for his place, … … … … But … his place shall be no more. … … … … But … the meek shall inherit the earth, nd … … … … … … ..the meek shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.






The wicked plots against the just, The wicked gnashes at the just with his teeth. The Lord laughs at the wicked, … For … … He sees that the wicked’s day is coming. The wicked have drawn the sword and The wicked have bent their bow, … To cast down the poor and needy, … To slay those who are of upright conduct. The wicked’s sword shall enter their own heart, … [Lord, have mercy] The wicked’s bows shall be broken. … [Lord, have mercy] A little that a righteous man has … Is better than the riches of many wicked. … … For … … … the arms of the wicked shall be broken, … … … But … … … the LORD upholds the righteous. The LORD knows the days of the upright, and The inheritance of the upright …….shall be forever. The upright ………………………..shall not be ashamed …in the evil time, The upright ………………………..shall be satisfied ……...in the days of famine. But the wicked …………………………shall perish; and the enemies of the LORD, ………….shall vanish like the splendor of the meadows,. the enemies of the LORD, ………….shall vanish away into smoke they. The wicked borrows and does not repay, But THE RIGHTEOUS SHOWS MERCY AND GIVES. … For … … those blessed by the LORD …..shall inherit the earth, … … But … … those cursed by the LORD ……shall be cut off. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and The LORD delights in the way of a good man. Though the good man fall, … the good man shall not be utterly cast down; … … For … … … the LORD upholds the good man with His hand. I have been young, and Now I am old; … Yet … … I have not seen the righteous forsaken, … … I have not seen the descendants of the righteous begging bread. The righteous is ever MERCIFUL, and The righteous lends; and The descendants of the righteous are blessed.





Depart from evil, and

Do good; and

Dwell forevermore.

… For

… … The LORD loves justice, and

… … The LORD does not forsake His saints;

… … The LORD’S saints are preserved forever,

… … But

… … the wicked’s descendants shall be cut off.

… … The righteous shall inherit the land, and

… … The righteous shall dwell in it forever.

The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and

The tongue of the righteous talks of justice.

The law of his God is in the heart of the righteous;

None of his steps of the righteous shall slide.

The wicked watches the righteous, and

The wicked seeks to slay the righteous.

The LORD will not leave the righteous in the hand of the wicked,

The LORD will not condemn the righteous when he is judged.

Wait on, and

Keep the LORD’s way, And

The LORD shall exalt you, the righteous, to inherit the land;

When the wicked are cut off, you, the righteous, shall see the wicked cut off.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and

I have seen the wicked spreading himself like a native green tree.

… Yet the wicked passed away,

… and behold, the wicked was no more;

… … Indeed

… … … I sought the wicked,

… … … but

… … … the wicked could not be found.

Mark the blameless man, and

Observe the upright;

… For the future of that man is peace.

… But the transgressors shall be destroyed together;

The future of the wicked shall be cut off.

But

… The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD;

… The LORD is their strength in the time of trouble. And

… The LORD shall help them and

… The LORD deliver them;

… The LORD shall deliver them from the wicked, and

… The LORD save them,

… … Because they trust in The LORD

… Anguish over my sin

… But I follow good, I hope in You

PSALM 38 - PRAYER in Time of CHASTENING

A Psalm of David to bring to remembrance.

O LORD,

… DO NOT REBUKE me in Your wrath,

… DO NOT CHASTEN me in Your hot displeasure!

… … For

… … … Your arrows pierce me deeply, and

… … … Your hand presses me down.

There is no soundness in my flesh

… Because of Your anger,

There is not any health in my bones

… Because of MY SIN.

… … For

… … … MY INIQUITIES have gone over my head;

… … … MY INIQUITIES are too heavy for me like a heavy burden.

… … … MY WOUNDS are foul and festering

… … … … Because of MY FOOLISHNESS.

I am troubled,

I am bowed down greatly;

I go mourning all the day long.

… For

… … my loins are full of inflammation, and

… … there is no soundness in my flesh.

… … I am feeble and severely broken;

… … I groan because of the turmoil of my heart.

Lord,

… all my desire is before You; and

… my sighing is not hidden from You.

… my heart pants,

… my strength fails me;

… As for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me.






My loved ones and

My friends ……...stand aloof from MY PLAGUE, and

My relatives …….stand afar off.

Those who seek my life also ……lay snares for me;

Those who seek my hurt ………..speak of destruction, And

Those who seek my hurt ………..plan deception all the day long.

… But

… … I am like a deaf man ……who does not hear; and

… … I am like a mute ………...who does not open his mouth.

… Thus

… … I am like a man ………….who does not hear, and

… … I am like a man ………….in whose mouth is no response.

O LORD,

… For IN YOU, I HOPE;

O Lord my God,

… You will hear,.

… … For I said,

… … … “Hear me,

… … … … … Lest they rejoice over me,

… … … … … Lest they exalt themselves against me when my foot slips.”

For

… I am ready to fall, and

… my sorrow is continually before me.

For

… I will declare MY INIQUITY;

… I will be in ANGUISH OVER MY SIN.

But

… my enemies are vigorous, and

… my enemies are strong; and

… those who hate me wrongfully ………have multiplied.

… those who hate me wrongfully also ….render evil for good,

… those who hate me wrongfully ………are my adversaries,

… … because I FOLLOW WHAT IS GOOD.

O LORD,

… Do not forsake me;

O my God,

… Be not far from me!

Lord, my salvation!

… Make haste to help me,

… How Will We Defend Ourselves?

… SILENCE? FORGIVENESS? WISDOM?

PSALM 39 - Prayer for WISDOM and FORGIVENESS


I said,

… “I will GUARD …..my ways,

… … Lest I sin with …my tongue;

… I will RESTRAIN …my mouth with a muzzle,

… … While the wicked are before me.”

I was MUTE with silence,

My peace I held even from good; and

My sorrow was stirred up.

My heart was hot within me;

… while I was musing the fire burned.

THEN

… I SPOKE with …..my tongue:

… “LORD,

… … Make me to know ……………………………….my end, and

… … Make me to know what is the measure of ……my days,

… … … That I may know how frail I am.

… … … Indeed,

… … … … You have made my days as handbreadths, and

… … … … My age is as nothing before You;

… … … Certainly

… … … … every man at his best state is but vapor.

… … … … … Selah

… … … Surely

… … … … every man walks about like a shadow;

… … … Surely

… … … … men busy themselves in vain;

… … … … every man heaps up riches, and

… … … … every man does not know who will gather the riches.






… Lord,

… … And now,

… … … What do I wait for?

… … … My hope is in You.

… … … Deliver me from all my transgressions;

… … … Do not make me the reproach of the foolish.

… … … I was MUTE,

… … … I did not open my mouth,

… … … … Because it was You who did it.

… … … … Remove Your plague from me;

… … … … … I am consumed by the blow of Your hand.

… … … … … When with rebukes

… … … … … … You correct for iniquity,

… …… … … … You make man’s beauty melt away like a moth;

… … …… … … … Surely

… … … …… … … … every man is vapor.

… … … … …… … … … Selah

… O LORD,

… … Hear ……………………my prayer, and

… … Give ear to …………….my cry;

… … Do not be silent at ……my tears;

… … … For

… … … … I am a stranger with You,

… … … … I am a sojourner,

… … … … … as all my fathers were.

… … Remove Your gaze from me,

… … … that I may regain strength,

… … … Before I go away and

… … … Before I am no more.”

I waited, I waited for the Lord

and he stooped down to me; He heard my cry.

He put a new song into my mouth,

praise of our God.

You do not ask for sacrifice and offerings,

but an open ear.

You do not ask for holocaust and victim,

instead, here am I.

In the scroll of the book it stands written

that I should do your will.

My God, I delight in your law

in the depth of my heart.

Your justice I have proclaimed

in the great assembly.

My lips I have not sealed;

you know it, O Lord!

… How Will We Defend Ourselves?

… SILENCE? FORGIVENESS? WISDOM?

PSALM 39 - Prayer for WISDOM and FORGIVENESS

A David Psalm

The Message (MSG)

I’m determined to watch steps and tongue

… so they won’t land me in trouble.

I decided to hold my tongue

… as long as Wicked is in the room.

I said,

… “Mum’s the word,” and

… … I kept quiet.

But

the longer I kept silence

… The worse it got—

… … My insides got hotter and hotter.

… … My thoughts boiled over;

… … I spilled my guts.

“GOD,

… Tell me, what’s going on,?

… How long do I have to live?

… Give me the bad news!

… You’ve kept me on pretty short rations;

… My life is string too short to be saved.

… Oh! we’re all puffs of air.

… Oh! we’re all shadows in a campfire.

… Oh! we’re just spit in the wind.

… We make our pile, and then we leave it.

“Lord,

… What am I doing in the meantime?

… … Hoping,

… … … that’s what I’m doing—

… … … … hoping You’ll save me from a rebel life,

… … … … hoping You’ll save me from the contempt of dunces.






Lord,

… I’ll say no more,

… I’ll shut my mouth,

… … since you, are behind all this.

… But

… I can’t take it much longer.

… When You put us through the fire

… … to purge us from our sin,

… … our dearest idols go up in smoke.

… … Are we also nothing but smoke?

“Ah, GOD,

… listen to my prayer,

… listen to my cry—

… … open your ears.

… Don’t be callous;

… just look at these tears of mine.

… I’m a stranger here.

… I don’t know my way—

… … a migrant like my whole family.

… Give me a break,

… cut me some slack

… … before it’s too late and I’m out of here.”





The Prayer Room



… Because of my iniquities, I am poor and needy

… Because I turned to The Lord, The Lord DID …….

PSALM 40 - Faith PERSEVERING in Trial


I waited patiently for the LORD;

… And the LORD INCLINED to me,

… And the LORD HEARD my cry.

… And the LORD BROUGHT me up

… … out of a horrible pit,

… … out of the miry clay,

… And the LORD SET my feet upon a rock,

… And the LORD ESTABLISHED my steps.

… The LORD has PUT a new song in my mouth—

… … Praise to our God;

… … Many will hear our praise and fear,

… … Many will trust in the LORD.

Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust, And

Blessed is that man who does not respect the proud,

Blessed is that man who does not turn aside to lies.

O LORD my God,

… Many are Your wonderful works

… … which You have done;

… Many are Your thoughts toward us

… … which cannot be recounted in order to You;

… … … If I would declare Your wonderful works, and

… … … If I would speak Your thoughts toward us of them,

… … … … They are more than can be numbered.

You did not desire sacrifice and offering;

You did not require burnt offering and sin offering.

You have OPENED my ears.

… Then I said,

… … “Behold,

… … … I come;

… … … It is written of me in the scroll of the book.

… … … O my God,

… … … … I delight to do Your will, and

… … … … Your law is within my heart.”

I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness in the great assembly

I do not restrain my lips,






O LORD,

… You Yourself know.

… … I have not hidden ……..Your righteousness …..within my heart;

… … I have not concealed ….Your lovingkindness …from the great assembly

… … I have not concealed ….Your truth ……………from the great assembly.

… … I have declared ………..Your faithfulness

… … I have declared ………..Your salvation;

O LORD,

… Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me;

… Let Your lovingkindness and

… Let Your truth continually preserve me.

… … For innumerable evils have surrounded me;

… … My iniquities have overtaken me,

… … … so that I am not able to look up;

… … My iniquities are more than the hairs of my head;


… … … … my heart fails me.

O LORD,

… Be pleased to deliver me;

O LORD,

… Make haste to help me!

… Let them who seek to destroy my life …….be ashamed and

… Let them who seek to destroy my life …….be brought to mutual confusion;

… Let them who wish me evil ……………….be driven backward and brought to dishonor

… Let them who say to me, “Aha, aha!” ........be confounded because of their shame,

… Let all those who seek You ………………..be glad and rejoice in You;

… Let those who love Your salvation continually say,

… … “The LORD be magnified!”

… I am poor and needy;

… Yet

… the LORD thinks upon me.

O my God

… You are my help and

… You are my deliverer;

… ... Do not delay,.





The Prayer Room



… We Shall Consider The Poor

… And See What God Does

PSALM 41 - The Blessing and Suffering of the Godly


Blessed is he who CONSIDERS THE POOR;

… The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

… The LORD will preserve him and

… The LORD will keep him alive,

… He who considers the poor will be blessed on the earth;

… You, The LORD,

… … will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

… … will strengthen him on his bed of illness;

… You, The LORD,

… … will sustain him on his sickbed.

I said,

… “LORD,

… … … Be merciful to me;

… … … Heal my soul,

… … … … For I have sinned against You, The LORD.”

My enemies speak evil of me:

… “When will he die, and

… … his name perish?”

If my enemy comes to see me,

… he speaks lies;

My enemy’s heart gathers iniquity to itself;

When my enemy goes out, he tells iniquity.

All who hate me

… whisper together against me;

… against me they devise my hurt.

All who hate me say,

… “An evil disease clings to him.

… … And now that he lies down,

… … he will rise up no more.”

Even my own familiar friend

… In whom I trusted,

… Who ate my bread,

… Has lifted up his heel against me.






But

You, O LORD,

… be merciful to me, and

… raise me up,

… … That I may repay them.

By this I know that

… You are well pleased with me,

… … Because my enemy does not triumph over me.

As for me,

… You uphold me in my integrity,

… You set me before Your face forever.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel

… From everlasting to everlasting!

Amen and Amen.

… As I Thirst for You, I Hope in You

PSALM 42 - YEARNING FOR GOD in the Midst of Distresses

A Contemplation of the sons of Korah to the Chief Musician..

O God

… As the deer pants for the water brooks,

… So my soul pants for You.

… My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

When shall I come and appear before God?

My tears have been my food day and night,

… While they continually say to me,

… … “Where is your God?”

When I remember these things,

… I pour out my soul within me.

… … For

… … … I used to go with the multitude;

… … … I went with the multitude to the house of God,

… … … … With the voice of joy and praise,

… … … … With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.

O my soul

… Why are you cast down,?

… Why are you disquieted within me?

… Hope in God,

… … For I shall yet praise Him

… … For the help of His countenance.[

O my God,

… my soul is cast down within me;

… … Therefore

… … … I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,

… … … I will remember You from the heights of Hermon,

… … … I will remember You from the Hill Mizar.

Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;

All Your waves and billows have gone over me.

The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,

The LORD’S song shall be with me in the night—

… A prayer to the God of my life.






I will say to God my Rock,

… “Why have You forgotten me?

… ..Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

As with a breaking of my bones,

… my enemies reproach me,

… … while my enemies say to me all day long,

… … … “Where is your God?”

O my soul



… Hope in God;

… … For

… … … I shall yet praise Him,

… … … … The help of my countenance and my God.

… … Let Your light and Your truth bring me to Your tabernacle.

TODAY's PSALM IS A PRAYER

… It’s ALL about YOU.

… It’s ALL about what YOU do.

… So AWAKE, ARISE, REDEEM us

PSALM 44 - REDEMPTION Remembered in Present Dishonor

A Contemplation of the sons of Korah to the Chief Musician.

O God,

… We have heard with our ears,

… Our fathers have told us,

… … The deeds You did in their days,

… … The deeds You did in days of old:

… You drove out the nations with Your hand,

… … But them You planted;

… You afflicted the peoples, and

… You cast the peoples out.

… … For the peoples did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,

… … For the peoples’ own arm did not save them;

… … … But

… … … … it was … Your right hand,

……………………….Your arm, and

……………………….the light of Your countenance,

… … … … … … … … Because You favored them.

O God,

… You are my King;

… … Command victories for Jacob.

… … … Through You we will push down our enemies;

… … … Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.

… … … … For I will not trust in my bow,

… … … … For my sword shall not save me.

… … … … But You have saved us from our enemies,

… … … … And You have put to shame those who hated us.

… … In God

… … … we boast all day long,

… … … we praise Your name forever.

… … … … Selah

But

… You have cast us off and put us to shame, … And

… You do not go out with our armies.

… You make us turn back from the enemy,… And

… those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.

… You have given us up like sheep intended for food,… And

… You have scattered us among the nations.

… You sell Your people for next to nothing,… And






… You are not enriched by selling them.

… You make us a reproach to our neighbors,

… You make us a scorn and a derision to those all around us.

… You make us a byword among the nations,

… You make us a shaking of the head among the peoples.

… My dishonor is continually before me, … And

… The shame of my face has covered me,

… … Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles,

… … Because of the enemy and the avenger.

All this has come upon us;

… But we have not forgotten You,

… And we have not dealt falsely with Your covenant.

Our heart has not turned back,

Our steps have not departed from Your way;

… But You have severely broken us in the place of jackals,

… And You have covered us with the shadow of death.

IF we had forgotten the name of our God, or

IF we have stretched out our hands to a foreign god,

THEN, Would not God search this out?

FOR He knows the secrets of the heart.

YET for Your sake

… We are killed all day long;

… We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

O Lord,

… AWAKE! … Why do You sleep?

… ARISE! …... Do not cast us off forever.

… … Why do You hide Your face, … And

… … Why do You forget our affliction and our oppression?

… … … For our soul is bowed down to the dust;

… … … For our body clings to the ground.

… ARISE for our help, … And

… REDEEM us for Your mercies’ sake.

… The KING and The ROYAL DAUGHTER

PSALM 45 - THE GLORIES OF the Messiah and His Bride

A Song of Love. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah.

To the Chief Musician and set to “The Lilies.”

My heart is overflowing …….with a good theme;

I recite my composition ……..concerning THE KING;

My tongue is the pen ………..of a ready writer.

YOU are fairer than the sons of men;

Grace is poured upon Your lips;

… Therefore

… … God has blessed YOU forever.

O MIGHTY ONE,

… Gird Your sword upon Your thigh,

… … with Your glory … and

… … with Your majesty … and

… Ride prosperously

… … in Your majesty

… … because of truth, humility, and righteousness; … And

… Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.

… Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies;

… The peoples fall under You.

O GOD,

… Your throne is forever and ever;

… A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

… You love righteousness and hate wickedness;

… … Therefore, God,

… … … Your God has anointed You

… … … … with the oil of gladness

… … … … more than Your companions.

… All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia,

… … out of the ivory palaces,

… … by which they have made You glad.

… Kings’ daughters are among Your honorable women;

… The queen in gold from Ophir stands at Your right hand.

O daughter,

… Listen,

… Consider and

… Incline your ear;

… Forget your own people … also,

… Forget your father’s house;






… So the King will greatly desire your beauty;

… … Worship Him because He is your Lord, … And

… … … the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;

… … … the rich among the people will seek your favor.

THE ROYAL DAUGHTER is all glorious within the palace;

… Her clothing is woven with gold.

THE ROYAL DAUGHTER shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors;

The virgins, her companions who follow THE ROYAL DAUGHTER,

… shall be brought to You.

… shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing;

… shall enter the King’s palace.

Your sons shall be instead of Your fathers,

… Whom You shall make princes in all the earth.

I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations;

… Therefore

… … THE PEOPLE SHALL PRAISE YOU

… … … FOREVER AND EVER.

Landon opened Yvonne’s bible to a page and he said, “Say it”.

Yvonne saw at the top of the page of her NIV translation the verses started with Micah 7:5

MICAH 7 Wait for the God of Salvation (Title from English Standard Version)

………………..Israel’s Misery (Title from NIV)

MICAH 7: 1-4

What misery is mine!

… I am like one who gathers summer fruit

… … at the gleaning of the vineyard;

… … … there is no cluster of grapes to eat,

… … … none of the early figs that I crave.

… The faithful have been swept from the land;

… … not one upright person remains.

… … Everyone lies in wait to shed blood;

… … they hunt each other with nets.

… … Both hands are skilled in doing evil;

… … the ruler demands gifts,

… … the judge accepts bribes,

… … the powerful dictate what they desire—

… … … they all conspire together.

… … The best of them is like a brier,

… … the most upright worse than a thorn hedge.

… … The day God visits you has come,

… … … the day your watchmen sound the alarm.

… … Now is the time of your confusion.

MICAH 7: 5-20

Do not trust …………….a neighbor;

put no confidence in …..a friend.

Guard the words ……….of your lips.

… Even with the woman who lies in your embrace

… For

… … a son …………………dishonors his father,

… … a daughter …………..rises up against her mother,

… … a daughter-in-law …..against her mother-in-law—

… … … a man’s enemies ...are the members of his own household.

… But

… … as for me,

… … … I watch in hope for the LORD,

… … … I wait for God my Savior;

… … … my God will hear me.





ISRAEL WILL RISE

my enemy,

… Do not gloat over me!

… Though I have fallen, ……..I will rise.

… Though I sit in darkness, ….the LORD will be my light.

Because

… I have sinned against him,

… … I will bear the LORD’s wrath,

… … … until He pleads my case … and

… … … until He upholds my cause.

He will bring me out into the light;

I will see his righteousness.

… Then

… … my enemy will see it … and

… … my enemy will be covered with shame,

… … … she who said to me,

… … … … “Where is the LORD your God?”

… … … … My eyes will see her downfall;

… … … … even now she will be trampled underfoot

… … … … … like mire in the streets.

The day for building your walls will come,

the day for extending your boundaries will come.

… In that day people will come to You

… … from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, … even

… … from Egypt to the Euphrates …and

… … from sea to sea …and

… … from mountain to mountain.

The earth will become desolate

… because of its inhabitants,

… as the result of their deeds.

PRAYER AND PRAISE

Shepherd your people with your staff,

… the flock

… … of your inheritance,

… … which lives by itself

… … … in a forest,

… … … in fertile pasturelands.[a]

… … Let them feed

… … … in Bashan and Gilead

… … … … as in days long ago.

… … … … … “As in the days when you came out of Egypt,

… … … … … … I will show them my wonders.”

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=micah+7&version=NIV#fen-NIV-22679a





Nations will see and be ashamed,

… They will be deprived of all their power.

… They will put their hands over their mouths … and

… their ears will become deaf.

… They will lick dust

… … like a snake,

… … like creatures that crawl on the ground.

… They will come trembling out of their dens;

… they will turn in fear to the LORD our God … and

… they will be afraid of you.

Who is a God like you,

… who pardons sin and

… who forgives the transgression

… … of the remnant of his inheritance?

… You do not stay angry forever

… but

… You delight to show mercy.

… You will again have compassion on us;

… You will tread our sins underfoot … and

… You hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

… You will be faithful to Jacob, … and

… You show love to Abraham,

… … as you pledged on oath

… … … to our ancestors

… … … in days long ago.

… Fear Not for Earthly Wealth Stays Here and is Temporary

… God will REDEEM my soul from the power of death for Eternity

PSALM 49 - The Confidence of the Foolish


All peoples

… Hear this;

All inhabitants of the world,

Both low and high,

Rich and poor together,

… Give ear,

My mouth ………………………shall speak wisdom, … and

The meditation of my heart …….shall give understanding.

I will incline my ear …………….to a proverb;

I will disclose my dark saying ….on the harp.

Why should I fear

… in the days of evil,

… when the iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

Those who trust in their wealth …and

Those who boast in the multitude of their riches,

… None of them can by any means redeem his brother, …and

… None of them can give to God a ransom for him—

… … For

… … … the redemption of their souls is costly, …and

… … … the redemption of their souls shall cease forever—

… … … … that he should continue to live eternally, …and

… … … … that he should continue to not see the Pit.

For

… he sees wise men die;

Likewise

… the fool and the senseless person perish, …and

… … they leave their wealth to others.

… … Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever,

… … Their dwelling places to all generations;

… … They call their lands after their own names.

Nevertheless

… man, though in honor, does not remain;

… … He is like the beasts that perish.






This is the way of those who are foolish, …and

This is the way of their posterity who approve their sayings.

… … Selah

… Like sheep they are laid in the grave;

… Death shall feed on them;

… The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; …and

… Their beauty shall be consumed in the grave, far from their dwelling.

… But

… … God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave,

… … For He shall receive me.

… … … Selah

Do not be afraid

… when one becomes rich,

… when the glory of his house is increased;

… For

… … when he dies he shall carry nothing away;

… … his glory shall not descend after him.

… … though while he lives he blesses himself

… … … (For men will praise you when you do well for yourself),

… … he shall go to the generation of his fathers;

… … They shall never see light.

… … A man who is in honor,

… … … yet does not understand,

… … … is like the beasts that perish.

PSALM 49 The Living Bible (TLB)

It’s Not About Riches for Life on Earth.

It is about “God will redeem my soul from the power of death” for Eternity

Listen, everyone!

… High and low,

… rich and poor,

… all around the world—

… listen to my words,

… … for

… … … my words are wise …and

… … … my words are filled with insight.

I will tell in song

… accompanied by harps

… the answer to one of life’s most perplexing problems:

… … There is no need to fear when times of trouble come,

… … … even though surrounded by enemies!

… … … … They trust in their wealth and

… … … … They boast about how rich they are,

… … … … … yet

… … … … … … not one of them,





… … … … … … … though rich as kings,

… … … … … … … can ransom his own brother from the penalty of sin!

… … … … … … … For

… … … … … … … … God’s forgiveness does not come that way.

… … … … … … … For

… … … … … … … There is not enough of wealth in all the earth

… … … … … … … … to buy eternal life for just one soul,

… … … … … … … … to keep it out of hell.

Rich man! Proud man! Wise man!

… You must die like all the rest!

… You have no greater lease on life than foolish, stupid men.

… You must leave your wealth to others.

… You name your estates after yourselves

… … as though your lands could be forever yours …and

… … as though you could live on them eternally.

… … … But

… … … … man with all his pomp must die like any animal.

… … … … … Such is the folly of these men,

… … … … … … though after they die

… … … … … … … they will be quoted as having great wisdom.

… … … … … … Death is the shepherd of all mankind. …And

… … … … … … … “in the morning”

… … … … … … … those who are evil will be the slaves of those who are good.

… … … … … … … … For

… … … … … … … … … the power of their wealth is gone when they die;

… … … … … … … … … they cannot take it with them.

… … … … … But as for me,

… … … … … … God will redeem my soul from the power of death,

… … … … … … … for

… … … … … … … … He will receive me.

… … … … … … … So

… … … … … … … … do not be dismayed when evil men grow rich …and.

… … … … … … … … do not be dismayed when evil men build their lovely homes

… … … … … … … … … For

… … … … … … … … … … when they die,

… … … … … … … … … … … they carry nothing with them!

… … … … … … … … … … … their honors will not follow them.

… … … … … … … … … … Though a man calls himself happy all through his life— …and

… … … … … … … … … … Though the world loudly applauds success—

… … … … … … … … … … … yet

… … … … … … … … … … … … in the end

… … … … … … … … … … … … … he dies like everyone else … and

… … … … … … … … … … … … … he enters eternal darkness.

… … … … … … … … … For

… When Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

O GOD,

… HAVE MERCY upon me,

… … According to Your lovingkindness;

… … According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,

… … Blot out my transgressions.

… … Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, …and

… … Cleanse me from my sin.

… … … … … I have done this evil in Your sight—

… … … … … … That You may be found

… … … … … … … just when You speak, …and

… … … … … … … blameless when You judge.

Behold,

… I was brought forth in iniquity, …and

… in sin my mother conceived me.

Behold,

… You will make me to know wisdom ....in the hidden part.

Purge me with hyssop, …and

… I shall be clean;

Wash me, …and

… I shall be whiter than snow.

Make me hear joy and gladness,

… That the bones You have broken may rejoice.

Hide Your face from my sins, …and

Blot out all my iniquities.






O GOD,

… CREATE in me a clean heart, …and

… RENEW a steadfast spirit within me.

… Do not cast me away from Your presence, …and

… Do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

… RESTORE to me the joy of Your salvation, …and

… UPHOLD me by Your generous Spirit.

… … Then

… … … I will teach transgressors Your ways, …and

… … … sinners shall be converted to You.

O GOD,

The God of my salvation,

… DELIVER me from the guilt of bloodshed, …and

… my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.

O LORD,

… OPEN my lips, …and

… my mouth shall show forth YOUR PRAISE.

… … For

… … … You do not desire sacrifice,

… … … … or else I would give it;

… … … You do not delight in burnt offering.

… … … The sacrifices of God are

… … … … a broken spirit,

… … … … a broken heart ………..and

… … … … a contrite heart—

… … … … … O God,

… … … … … … These, You will not despise.

Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;

Build the walls of Jerusalem.

… Then

… … You shall be pleased

… … … with the sacrifices of righteousness,

… … … with burnt offering and whole burnt offering;

… Then

… … they shall offer bulls on Your altar.

“A CONTRITE HEART is one in which the natural pride and self-sufficiency have been completely

humbled by the consciousness of guilt.” The Hebrew and Greek words often translated “contrite”

actually mean “crushed, crippled, or broken.” When contrite modifies heart, we get the picture of a

conscience that is crushed by the weight of its own guilt. When a human spirit stops justifying its

wrong choices, awakens to the depth of its depravity, and humbly accepts God’s righteous condemnation

of sin, contrition is present. A contrite heart offers no excuses and shifts no blame. It fully agrees

with God about how evil it is. A contrite heart throws itself upon the mercy of God, knowing that it

deserves nothing but righteous wrath (Isaiah 6:5;Psalm 41:4).

… We Will Rejoice and Be Glad

PSALM 53 - Folly of the Godless, and the Restoration of Israel A Contemplation

[a] of David to the Chief Musician, set to “Mahalath.”

The fool has said in his heart,

… “There is no God.”

… They are corrupt, and

… They have done abominable iniquity;

… There is none who does good.

God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,

… To see if there are any who understand,

… To see if there are any who seek God.

… Every one of them has turned aside;

… They have together become corrupt;

… There is none who does good,

… … No, not one.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,

… Who eat up my people as they eat bread, … and

… Who do not call upon God?

… There they are in great fear

… … Where no fear was,

… … For

… … … God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you;

… … … You have put them to shame,

PSALM 53

Living Bible (TLB)

God looks down from heaven,

… to see if there is a single one who really seeks for God.

… But

… … all have turned their backs on Him;

… … they are

… … … filthy with sin—

… … … corrupt and rotten through and through.

… … … Not one is good, not one!

… … … … How can this be?

… … … … Can’t they understand anything?

… … … … … For

… … … … … … they devour my people like bread … and

… … … … … … they refuse to come to God.

… … … … … But

… … … … … … soon unheard-of terror will fall on them.

… … … … … … God will scatter the bones of these, your enemies.

… … … … … … Your enemies are doomed,

… … … … … … … for God has rejected them.

Oh,

… that God would come from Zion now … and

… that God would save Israel!

PSALM 56 - Prayer for Relief from Tormentors

A Michtam of David


When the Philistines captured him in Gath.

Set to “The Silent Dove in Distant Lands.”

Michtam: This is usually understood to mean THE GOLDEN PSALM, and such a title is most

appropriate, for the matter is as the most fine gold. Ainsworth calls it "David's jewel, or notable

song." Dr. Hawker, who is always alive to passages full of savour, devoutly cries, "Some have

rendered it precious, others golden, and others, precious jewel; and as the Holy Ghost, by the apostles

Peter and Paul, hath shown us that it is all about the Lord Jesus Christ, what is here said of him is

precious, is golden, is a jewel indeed!"

O God,

… Be merciful to me,

… … for

… … … man would swallow me up;

… … … … Fighting all day he oppresses me.

… … … … My enemies would hound me all day,

… … For

… … … there are many who fight against me,

… … … … O Most High.

Whenever I am afraid,

… I will trust in You.

… In God, I will praise His word,

… In God, I have put my trust;

… I will not fear.

… What can flesh do to me?

All day they twist my words;

All their thoughts are against me for evil.

They gather together,

They hide,

they mark my steps,

When they lie in wait for my life.

… Shall they escape by iniquity?






O God

… cast down the peoples in anger!

You number my wanderings;

Put my tears into Your bottle;

… Are they not in Your book?

When I cry out to You,

… Then my enemies will turn back;

… … This I know, because God is for me.

In God, ………..I will praise His word,

In the LORD, …..I will praise His word,

In God ………...I have put my trust;

………………...I will not be afraid.

What can man do to me?

O God,

… Vows made to You are binding upon me;

… I will render praises to You,

… … For

… … … You have delivered my soul from death.

… … … Have You not kept my feet from falling,

… … … … That

… … … … … I may walk

… … … … … … before God

… … … … … … In the light of the living?

PSALM 58 - The Just Judgment of the Wicked A Michtam of David to the Chief Musician, set to “Do Not Destroy.”

Michtam: THE GOLDEN PSALM, for the matter is as the most fine gold. "David's jewel, or

notable song." precious, golden, precious jewel;

You silent ones

… do you indeed speak righteousness?

You sons of men

… do you judge uprightly?

… … No,

… … … you work wickedness in heart;

… … … you weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

The wicked are estranged from the womb;

The wicked go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

The wicked’s poison is like the poison of a serpent;

The wicked are like the deaf cobra that stops its ear,

… which will not heed the voice of charmers,

… … charming ever so skillfully.

O God,

… Break their teeth in their mouth!

O LORD,

… Break out the fangs of the young lions!

… Let them flow away as waters which run continually;

… When the wicked bends his bow,

… … Let the wicked’s arrows be as if cut in pieces.

… … Let the wicked be like a snail which melts away as it goes,

… … … Like a stillborn child of a woman,

… … … … that the wicked may not see the sun.

The LORD

… shall take them away as with a whirlwind,

… … before your pots can feel the burning thorns,

… … … as in His living and burning wrath.

The righteous shall REJOICE when he sees the vengeance;

The righteous shall WASH his feet in the blood of the wicked,

… So that men will say,

… … “Surely there is a reward for the righteous;

… … Surely He is God who judges in the earth.”

… SILENCE IN WAITING FOR GOD

… That Gives Me Time to SELAH

… That Gives Me Opportunity to See Who God Is

PSALM 62 - A CALM RESOLVE to WAIT for THE SALVATION OF GOD


Truly

… My soul SILENTLY WAITS for God;

… … From God comes my salvation.

… … God only is my rock … and

… … God only is my salvation;

… … God is my defense;

… … I shall not be greatly moved.

How long will you attack a man?

… all of you,

… … you shall be slain,

… … … like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.

… … they only consult to cast a man down from his high position;

… … they delight in lies;

… … they bless with their mouth,

… … but

… … they curse inwardly.

… … … Selah

My soul,

… WAIT SILENTLY for God alone,

… … For

… … … My expectation ……………is from God.

… … … God only …………………..is my rock;

… … … God only …………………..is my salvation;

… … … God ………………………..is my defense;

… … … … I shall not be moved.

… … … My salvation ………………is in God … and

… … … My glory …………………..is in God;

… … … My refuge …………………is in God , … and

… … … The rock of my strength …..is in God.


You people

… Trust in God at all times;

… Before God pour out your heart;

… God is a refuge for us.

… … Selah






Surely

… men of low degree are a vapor,

… men of high degree are a lie;

… … If men are weighed on the scales,

… … … They are altogether lighter than vapor.

Do not trust in oppression, … and

Do not vainly hope in robbery;

Do not set your heart on riches

… if riches increase.

God has spoken once,

Twice I have heard this:

… Power belongs to God … and

… Mercy belongs to You, O Lord;

… … For

… … … You render to each one

… … … … according to his work.

PSALM 63 - JOY in the FELLOWSHIP OF GOD

A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

O God,

… You are my God;

… I WILL seek You early;

… My soul DOES thirst for You;

… My flesh DOES long for You

… … in a dry and thirsty land

… … … where there is no water.

… So

… I have looked for You in the sanctuary,

… ... to see Your power … and

… ... to see Your glory.

… My lips SHALL praise You.

… … because YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS IS better than life,

… Thus

… … I WILL bless You while I live;

… … I WILL lift up my hands in Your name.

… … My soul SHALL be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, … and

… … My mouth SHALL praise You with joyful lips.

… When I DO remember You on my bed,

… Then I DO meditate on You in the night watches.


… … … … I WILL rejoice in the shadow of Your wings.

… … … … … because You have been my help,

… … … … My soul DOES follow close behind You;

… … … … Your right hand DOES uphold me.

… … … … But

… … … … … those who seek to destroy my life,

… … … … … … they SHALL go into the lower parts of the earth.

… … … … … … they SHALL fall by the sword;

… … … … … … they SHALL be a portion for jackals.

… … … … But

… … … … … the king SHALL rejoice in God;

… … … … … Everyone who swears by Him SHALL glory;

… … … … But

… … … … … the mouth of those who speak lies SHALL be stopped.

PSALM 64 - Oppressed by the Wicked BUT REJOICING in the LORD


O God,

… HEAR my voice in my meditation;

… PRESERVE my life from fear of the enemy.

… HIDE me from the secret plots of the wicked,

… HIDE me from the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,

… … the workers of iniquity who sharpen their tongue like a sword, … and

… … the workers of iniquity who bend their bows to shoot their arrows—

… … … their arrows are bitter words,

… … … they may shoot in secret at the blameless;

… … … … suddenly they shoot at the blameless and do not fear.

… … the workers of iniquity encourage themselves in an evil matter;

… … the workers of iniquity talk of laying snares secretly;

… … the workers of iniquity say,

… … … “Who will see us?”

… … the workers of iniquity devise iniquities:

… … … “We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”

Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.

BUT

GOD SHALL shoot at the workers of iniquity with an arrow;

… Suddenly the workers of iniquity shall be wounded.

SO

GOD WILL make the workers of iniquity stumble over their own tongue;

All who see the workers of iniquity shall flee away.

All men shall fear, … and

All men shall declare the work of God;

… For

… … all men shall wisely consider God’s doing.

The righteous shall BE GLAD IN THE LORD, … and

The righteous shall TRUST IN THE LORD. … and

All the upright in heart shall glory (shall PRAISE THE LORD)

PSALM 68 - PRAISE GOD Who SAVED THE NATION


A Psalm of David. A song for the Director of Music.

Let God rise up and

Let God scatter God’s enemies;

Let those who hate God run away from God.

Blow away God’s enemies and God haters

… as smoke is driven away by the wind.

… as wax melts before a fire,

Let the wicked be destroyed before God.

But

Those who do right should … be glad, … and

Those who do right should … rejoice before God;

Those who do right should … be happy and glad.

SING to God;

SING praises to God’s name.

PREPARE the way for Our God

… who rides through the desert,

… whose name is the LORD.

REJOICE before him.

God is ………..in His holy Temple.

God is ………..a father to orphans, … and

God defends …the widows.

God gives ……the lonely a home.

God leads ……prisoners out with joy,

But

Those who turn against God …..will live in a dry land.

God,

… You led Your people out

… … when You marched through the desert.

… … … Selah

The ground shook … and

The sky poured down rain

… before God, the God of Mount Sinai,

… before God, the God of Israel.






God,

… You sent much rain;

… You refreshed Your tired land.

… Your people settled there.

God,

… You took care of the poor.

… … in Your goodness

The Lord gave the command, … and

A great army told the news:

… “Kings and their armies run away.

… Kings and their armies divide in camp the wealth taken in war.

… Those who stayed by the campfires

… … … will share the riches taken in battle.”

The Almighty scattered kings

… like snow on Mount Zalmon.

The mountains of Bashan are high;

The mountains of Bashan have many peaks.

… Why do you mountains with many peaks look with envy

… … on the mountain that God chose for His home?

… … … The LORD will live there forever.

God comes with millions of chariots;

The Lord comes from Mount Sinai to His holy place.

When You went up to the heights,

Then You led a parade of captives.

Then You received gifts

… from the people,

… even from those who turned against you. … And

The LORD God will live there, in Zion.

PRAISE the Lord,

PRAISE God our Savior,

… Who helps us every day.

… … Selah

Our God is a GOD WHO SAVES US;

The LORD God saves us from death.

God will crush his enemies’ heads,

… the hairy skulls of those who continue to sin.

The Lord said,

… “I will bring the enemy back from Bashan;

… I will bring the enemy back from the depths of the sea.

… … Then you can stick your feet in their blood, … and

… … Then your dogs can lick their share.”





God,

… People have seen your victory march;

… God my King marched into the holy place.

… The singers are in front … and

… The instruments are behind.

… In the middle are the girls with the tambourines.

PRAISE God in the meeting place;

PRAISE the LORD in the gathering of Israel.

There is Benjamin, … the smallest tribe, leading them. … And

There is Judah, …….. the leaders with their group. … Also

There Zebulun, …….. the leaders with their group.

There is Naphtali, ….. the leaders with their group.

God,

… Order up Your power;

… Show the mighty power You have used for us before.

… Kings will bring their wealth to You,

… Kings will bring their wealth to Your Temple in Jerusalem.

… Punish Egypt,

… … the beast in the tall grass along the river.

… Punish the leaders of nations,

… … those bulls among the cows.

… They will bring You their silver in their defeat.

… Scatter those nations that love war.

… Messengers will come from Egypt;

… The people of Cush will pray to God.

Kingdoms of the earth,

… SING to God;

… Sing praises to the Lord.

… … Selah

… SING to the one who rides through the skies,

… … the skies which are from long ago.

… The one who rides speaks with a thundering voice.

… Announce that God is powerful.

… God rules over Israel, … and

… God’s power is in the skies.

God,

… You are wonderful in Your Temple.

… The God of Israel gives His people strength and power.

Praise God!

… God will save Zion

… God will build the cities of Judah,

… THOSE WHO LOVE HIS NAME shall DWELL in Zion.

PSALM 69 - An URGENT PLEA for Help in Trouble

A Psalm of David to the Chief Musician, Set to “The Lilies.”

O God.

… SAVE ME!

… … For

… … … the waters have come up to my neck.

… … … I sink in deep mire,

… … … … where there is no standing;

… … … I have come into deep waters,

… … … … where the floods overflow me.

… … … I am weary with my crying;

… … … My throat is dry;

… … … My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

Those who hate me without a cause

… are more than the hairs of my head;

Those who hate me are mighty who would destroy me,

… Being my enemies wrongfully;

…Though I have stolen nothing,

… … I still must restore it.

O God,

… You know my foolishness; … and

… my sins are not hidden from You.

O Lord GOD of hosts,

… Let not those who wait for You,

… … be ashamed because of me;

O God of Israel

… Let not those who seek You,

… … be confounded because of me.

… Because for Your sake

… … I have borne reproach;

… … Shame has covered my face.

… … I have become a stranger to my brothers, … and

… … I have become an alien to my mother’s children;

… Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up, … and

… … the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.






… When I wept and chastened my soul with FASTING,

… … That became my reproach.

… I also made SACKCLOTH my garment;

… I became a byword to them.

… … Those who sit in the gate speak against me, … and

… I am the song of the drunkards.

… But

… AS FOR ME,

… … O LORD,

… … MY PRAYER is to You,

… … … in the acceptable time;

… … O God,

… … … In the multitude of Your mercy,

… … … … Hear me in the truth of Your salvation.

… … … … Deliver me out of the mire, … and

… … … … Let me not sink;

… … … … Let me be delivered from those who hate me, … and

… … … … Let me be delivered out of the deep waters.

… … … … Let not the floodwater overflow me,

… … … … Let not the deep swallow me up; … and

… … … … Let not the pit shut its mouth on me.

O LORD,

… Hear me,

… … for

… … … Your lovingkindness is good;

… Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.

… Do not hide Your face from Your servant,

… … For

… … … I am in trouble;

… Hear me speedily.

… Draw near to my soul, and

… Redeem my soul;

… Deliver me because of my enemies.

You know my reproach,

You know my shame, … and

You know my dishonor;

My adversaries are all before You.

Reproach has broken my heart, … and

I am full of heaviness;

I looked for someone to take pity,

… but there was none;

I looked for comforters,

… but I found none.





My adversaries also gave me gall for my food, … and

My adversaries gave me vinegar to drink for my thirst.

Let the table ……….of my adversaries become a snare before them, … and

Let the well-being …of my adversaries become a trap.

Let the eyes ………..of my adversaries be darkened,

… so that they do not see; … and

Make the loins …….of my adversaries shake continually.

Pour out Your indignation upon my adversaries, … and

Let Your wrathful anger take hold of my adversaries.

Let the dwelling place ………of my adversaries be desolate;

Let no one live in the tents ….of my adversaries.

… For

… … my adversaries persecute the ones You have struck, … and

… … my adversaries talk of the grief of those You have wounded.

Add iniquity to the iniquity…of my adversaries, … and

Let my adversaries not come into Your righteousness.

Let my adversaries be blotted out of the book of the living, … and

Let my adversaries not be written with the righteous.

But I am poor and sorrowful;

O God,

… Let Your salvation set me up on high.

… I will praise the name of God with a song, … and

… I will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

… … This also shall please the LORD

… … … better than an ox or bull,

… … … … which has horns and hooves.

The humble shall see this and be glad; … and

you who seek God,

… your hearts shall live.

… … For

… … … the LORD hears the poor, … and

… … … the LORD does not despise His prisoners.

Let heaven and earth PRAISE Him,

Let the seas and everything that moves in the seas PRAISE Him.

… For

… … God will save Zion … and

… … God will build the cities of Judah,

… … … That they may DWELL there and POSSESS Zion. ... also,

… … … That the descendants of His servants shall INHERIT Zion, … and

… … … That THOSE WHO LOVE HIS NAME shall DWELL in Zion.

The Prayer Room Tuesday July 29, 2014, 7:56 am In today's Psalm 71, I am struck by the number of times

David says I, me, and my, and David says Lord, God, and You.

Obviously, David is intertwined with the CREATOR OF ALL, and so are WE. David is directly conversing with HIM, and so can WE.

SELAH (consider that carefully and long). TODAY's PSALM IS A PRAYER FOR … THANKSGVING That … … You Are Everything to ME … … You are My GOD … … You are My Lord GOD PSALM 71 - GOD the ROCK of SALVATION O Lord, … In You, I put my trust; … Let me never be put to shame. … DELIVER me in Your righteousness, … and … CAUSE me to escape; … INCLINE Your ear to me, … and … SAVE me. … BE my strong refuge, … … to which I may resort continually; … You have given the commandment to SAVE me, … For … … You are my ROCK and my FORTRESS. O my God, … Deliver me … … out of the hand of the wicked, … … out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. O Lord GOD … For … … You are my hope; … … You are my trust from my youth. By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You. I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge. Let my mouth be filled with Your praise … and Let my mouth be filled with Your glory all the day. Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. … For … … my enemies speak against me; … and … … those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together,






… … … Saying, … … … … “God has forsaken him; … … … … Pursue and take him, … … … … … for … … … … … … there is none to deliver him.” O God, … Do not be far from me; O my God, … Make haste to help me! Let them who are adversaries of my life be confounded and consumed; Let them who seek my hurt be covered with reproach and dishonor.

O Holy One of Israel. … My lips, when I sing to You, shall greatly rejoice, … and … My soul, which You have redeemed, shall greatly rejoice … My tongue, all the day long, shall talk of Your righteousness; … … For they who seek my hurt are confounded, … … For they who seek my hurt are brought to shame

… THANKSGVING That

… … Regardless of How Well the wicked LOOK

… … I find TRUTH in THE SANCTUARY of MY GOD;

PSALM 73 - The Tragedy of the Wicked, and

The Blessedness of Trust in God

A Psalm of Asaph.

Truly,

… God is good

… … to Israel,

… … to such as are pure in heart.

But

… as for me,

… … my feet had almost stumbled;

… … my steps had nearly slipped.

For

… I was envious of the boastful,

… … when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

For (the wicked)

… there are no pangs in their death,

… But

… their strength is firm.

… they are not in trouble as other men, … and

… they are not plagued like other men.

… … Therefore

… … … pride serves as their necklace;

… … … violence covers them like a garment.

… their eyes bulge with abundance;

… they have more than heart could wish.

… they scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression;

… they speak loftily.

… they set their mouth against the heavens, … and

… their tongue walks through the earth.

Therefore

… his people return here, … and

… waters of a full cup are drained by them. … and

… they say,

… … “How does God know? … and

… … . Is there knowledge in the Most High?”






Behold,

… these are the ungodly,

… … who are always at ease;

… … they increase in riches.

Surely

… I have cleansed my heart in vain, … and

… I have washed my hands in innocence.

… … For

… … … I have been plagued all day long, … and

… … … I have been chastened every morning.

If I had said,

… “I will speak thus,”

Behold,

… I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.

When I thought how to understand this,

… It was too painful for me—

… … until I went into the sanctuary of God;

… … then I understood their end.

Surely

… You set them in slippery places;

… You cast them down to destruction.

Oh,

… how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!

… they are utterly consumed with terrors.

So, Lord,

… as a dream when one awakes,

… when You awake,

… … You shall despise their image.

Thus

… my heart was grieved, … and

… I was vexed in my mind.

… I was so foolish and ignorant;

… I was like a beast before You.

Nevertheless

… You, I am continually with;

… You hold me by my right hand.

… You will guide me with Your counsel, … and afterward

… You receive me to glory.





Whom have I in heaven ………………… but You? … and

there is none upon earth that I desire …. besides You.

My flesh and my heart fail;

But

God is

… the strength of my heart … and

… my portion … forever.

For indeed,

… those who are far from You shall perish;

… You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.

… But

… it is good for me to draw near to God;

… I have put my trust in the Lord GOD,

… … THAT I MAY DECLARE ALL YOUR WORKS.

PSALM 74 - A Plea for Relief from Oppressors

A Contemplation of Asaph.

O God, … WHY have You cast us off forever? … WHY does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture? … REMEMBER Your congregation, … … which You have purchased of old, … REMEMBER the tribe of Your inheritance, … … which You have redeemed— …….This Mount Zion where You have dwelt. … Lift up Your feet to the perpetual desolations. … … The enemy has damaged everything in the sanctuary. … … Your enemies roar in the midst of Your meeting place; … … Your enemies set up their banners for signs. … … Your enemies seem like men … … … who lift up axes among the thick trees. … and … … … now they break down its carved work, … … … … all at once, … … … … with axes and hammers. … … Your enemies have set fire to Your sanctuary; … … Your enemies have defiled the dwelling place of Your name to the ground. … … Your enemies said in their hearts, … …… “Let us destroy them altogether.” … … Your enemies have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land. … … We do not see our signs; … … … There is no longer any prophet; … … … There is none among us who knows how long. O God, … How long will the adversary reproach? … Will the enemy blaspheme Your name forever? … Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand? … … Take Your right hand out of Your bosom and destroy the enemy. … … … For … … … … God is my King from of old, … … … … God is working salvation in the midst of the earth. … You divided the sea by Your strength; … You broke the heads of the sea serpents in the waters. … You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces, … and … You gave Leviathan as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. … You broke open the fountain and the flood; … You dried up mighty rivers.






… The day is Yours,

… the night is Yours also;

… You have prepared the light and the sun.

… You have set all the borders of the earth;

… You have made summer and winter.

… REMEMBER this,

… … that the enemy has reproached, O LORD, … and

… … that a foolish people has blasphemed Your name.

Oh,

… Do not deliver the life of Your turtledove to the wild beast!

… Do not forget the life of Your poor forever.

… Have respect to the covenant;

… … For

… … … the dark places of the earth are full of the haunts of cruelty.

Oh,

… Do not let the oppressed return ashamed!

… Let the poor and needy praise Your name.

O God,

… ARISE,

… PLEAD Your own cause;

… REMEMBER how the foolish man reproaches You daily.

… DO NOT FORGET the voice of Your enemies;

… The tumult of those who rise up against You increases continually.

God is known in Judah;

God’s dwelling place is in Zion.

God broke the arrows of the bow in Zion,

God broke the shield and sword of battle in Zion.

You are more glorious and excellent

The stouthearted have sunk into their sleep; … and

None of the mighty men have found the use of their hands.

O God of Jacob,

You, Yourself, are to be feared; … and

Who may stand in Your presence

… when once You are angry?

You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;

When God arose to judgment,

… to deliver all the oppressed of the earth,

… the earth feared and was still.

Surely

… You shall gird Yourself with the remainder of wrath.

Make vows to the LORD your God, … and

PSALM 77 - THE CONSOLING MEMORY of GOD’S REDEMPTIVE WORKS A Psalm of Asaph to the Chief Musician and to Jeduthun

I cried out to God with my voice— … to God with my voice; … and … God gave ear to me. In the day of my trouble … I sought the Lord; … My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; … My soul refused to be comforted. … I remembered God, … and … I was troubled; … I complained, … and … My spirit was overwhelmed. … … Selah You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. I have considered the days of old, I have considered the years of ancient times. I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, … and My spirit makes diligent search. Will the Lord ….. cast off forever? … and Will the Lord ….. be favorable no more? Has the Lord’s … mercy ceased forever? Has the Lord’s … promise failed forevermore? Has God ………. forgotten to be gracious? Has God ………. in anger shut up His tender mercies? … Selah And I said, … “This is my anguish; … But … I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.” I will remember ………… the works of the LORD; Surely I will remember ……. Your wonders of old. … also I will meditate on …... all Your work, … and I will talk of ………... Your deeds.

… Our Compassionate God Who REMEMBERS Us

… Even When We Do Not REMEMBER Him

… We Need To List and REMEMBER What He Has Done For Us

... AND REMEMBER, AND ALSO REMEMBER, AND REMEMBER

PSALM 78 - GOD’S KINDNESS to Rebellious Israel A Contemplation of Asaph

O My People,

… GIVE EAR to my law;

… INCLINE YOUR EARS to the words of my mouth.

… … I will open my mouth in a parable;

… … I will utter dark sayings of old,

… … … which we have heard and known, and

… … … which our fathers have told us.

… … … We will not hide them from their children,

… … … We will tell “the generation to come”

… … … … the praises of the LORD, and

… … … … His strength … and

… … … … His wonderful works that He has done.

For

… God established a testimony in Jacob, and

… God appointed a law in Israel,

… … which God commanded our fathers,

… … … that they should make them known to their children;

… … … that “the generation to come” might know them,

… … … … the children who would be born,

… … … … that they may arise and declare them to their children,

… … … … that they may set their hope in God, and

… … … … that they may not forget the works of God,

… … … … But

… … … … they may keep God’s commandments; and

… … … … they may not be like their fathers,

… … … … … a stubborn and rebellious generation,

… … … … … a generation that did not set its heart aright, and

… … … … … a generation whose spirit was not faithful to God.

The children of Ephraim,

… They being armed and carrying bows,

… They turned back in the day of battle.

… They did not keep the covenant of God;

… They refused to walk in God’s law, and

… They forgot God’s works and

… They forgot God’s wonders that He had shown them.






Marvelous things God did

… in the sight of their fathers,

… in the land of Egypt,

… in the field of Zoan.

… God divided the sea and caused them to pass through; and

… God made the waters stand up like a heap. also

… God led them with the cloud in the daytime and

… God led them with a light of fire all the night.

… God split the rocks in the wilderness, and

… God gave them drink in abundance like the depths. also

… God brought streams out of the rock, and

… God caused waters to run down like rivers.

But

… they sinned even more against God

… …by rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness. and

… they tested God in their heart

… … by asking for the food of their fancy.

Yes,

… they spoke against God:

… they said,

… … “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

… … Behold,

… … … God struck the rock,

… … … … So that the waters gushed out, and

… … … … the streams overflowed.

… … … Can God give bread also?

… … … Can God provide meat for His people?”

Therefore

… the LORD heard this and

… the LORD was furious;

… … So

… … a fire was kindled against Jacob, and also

… … a nger came up against Israel,

… … … Because

… … … … they did not believe in God, and

… … … … they did not trust in His salvation.

Yet

… God had commanded the clouds above, and

… God had opened the doors of heaven,

… God had rained down manna on them to eat, and

… God had given them of the bread of heaven.

… Men ate angels’ food (manna from heaven);

… God had sent them food to the full.

… God had caused an east wind to blow in the heavens; and

… God had brought in the south wind by His power. also

… God had rained meat on them like the dust,

feathered fowl like the sand of the seas; and





… God had let the feathered fowl fall

… … … … … … … … … … … … in the midst of their camp,

… … … … … … … … … … … … all around their dwellings.

… … So

… … … they ate and were well filled,

… … … … For

… … … … … God gave them their own desire.

… … … … … They were not deprived of their craving;

… … … … But

… … … … … while their food was still in their mouths,

… … … … … … the wrath of God came against them, and

… … … … … … the wrath of God slew the stoutest of them, and

… … … … … … the wrath of God struck down the choice men of Israel.

In spite of this

… they still sinned, and

… they did not believe in God’s wondrous works.

… … Therefore

… … … God consumed their days in futility, and

… … … God consumed their years in fear.

When God slew them,

… then they sought God; and

… … .. they returned and sought earnestly for God.

… then they REMEMBERED

…. … … that God was their rock, and

…. … … that God was their Most High God, and

…. … … that God was their Redeemer.

Nevertheless

… they flattered God with their mouth, and

… they lied to God with their tongue;

… … For

… … … their heart was not steadfast with God,

… … … they were not faithful in Gods covenant.

… … But

… … God,

… … … being full of COMPASSION,

… … … forgave their iniquity, and

… … … did not destroy them.

… … … … Yes,

… … … … God turned His anger away many a time, and

… … … … God did not stir up all His wrath; many a time

… … … … … For

… … … … … … GOD REMEMBERED

… … … … … … … that they were but flesh,

… … … … … … … that they were but a breath that passes away and does not come again.





How often they provoked God in the wilderness, and

How often they grieved God in the desert!

… Yes,

… they tempted God, again and again and

… they limited the Holy One of Israel again and again.

… THEY DID NOT REMEMBER

… … GOD’S POWER:

… … … The day

… … … … when God redeemed them from the enemy,

… … … … when God worked His signs in Egypt, and

… … … … when God worked His wonders in the field of Zoan;

… … … … when God turned their rivers into blood, and

… … … … when God turned their streams, that they could not drink.

… … … … when God sent swarms of flies among them,

… … … … … which devoured them, and

… … … … when God sent frogs, which destroyed them. and also

… … … … when God gave their crops to the caterpillar, and

… … … … when God gave their labor to the locust.

… … … … when God destroyed their vines with hail, and

… … … … when God destroyed their sycamore trees with frost. also

… … … … when God gave up their cattle to the hail, and

… … … … when God gave up their flocks to fiery lightning.

… … … … when God cast on them the fierceness of His anger,

… … … … … His wrath,

… … … … … His indignation, and

… … … … … trouble,

… … … … … by sending angels of destruction among them.

… … … … … God made a path for His anger;

… … … … … God did not spare their soul from death,

… … … … … But

… … … … … God gave their life over to the plague, and

… … … … … God destroyed all the firstborn in Egypt,

… … … … … God destroyed the first of their strength in the tents of Ham.

… … … … … But

… … … … … God made His own people go forth like sheep, and

… … … … … God guided them in the wilderness like a flock; and

… … … … … God led them on safely,

… … … … … … so that they did not fear;

… … … … … … But

… … … … … … the sea overwhelmed their enemies. and

… … … … … God brought them to His holy border, this mountain

… … … … … … … which His right hand had acquired. also

… … … … … God drove out the nations before them,

… … … … … God allotted them an inheritance by survey, and

… … … … … God made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.





… … … … … Yet

… … … … … they tested and provoked the Most High God, and

… … … … … they did not keep God’s testimonies,

… … … … … But

… … … … … they turned back and

… … … … … they acted unfaithfully like their fathers;

… … … … … they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

… … … … … … For

… … … … … … … they provoked God to anger with their high places, and

… … … … … … … they moved God to jealousy with their carved images.

… … … … … … When God heard this,

… … … … … … … God was furious, and

… … … … … … … God greatly abhorred Israel,

… … … … … … … … So that

… … … … … … … … God forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,

… … … … … … … … God forsook the tent He had placed among men, and

… … … … … … … … God delivered His strength into captivity, and

… … … … … … … … God delivered His glory into the enemy’s hand. also

… … … … … … … … God gave His people over to the sword, and

… … … … … … … … God was furious with His inheritance.

… … … … … … … … The fire consumed their young men, and

… … … … … … … … Their maidens were not given in marriage.

… … … … … … … … Their priests fell by the sword, and

… … … … … … … … Their widows made no lamentation.

… … … … … Then

… … … … … … the Lord awoke as from sleep,

… … … … … … … like a mighty man who shouts because of wine. and

… … … … … … the Lord beat back His enemies;

… … … … … … the Lord put them to a perpetual reproach.

… … … … … Moreover

… … … … … … God rejected the tent of Joseph, and

… … … … … … God did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,

… … … … … … But

… … … … … … God chose the tribe of Judah,

… … … … … … … Mount Zion which He loved. and

… … … … … … God built His sanctuary like the heights,

… … … … … … … like the earth

… … … … … … … which God has established forever. also

… … … … … … God chose David His servant, and

… … … … … … God took David from the sheepfolds;

… … … … … … God brought David from following the ewes that had young,

… … … … … … God brought David to shepherd Jacob His people, and

… … … … … … God brought David to shepherd Israel His inheritance.

… … … … … … So

… … … … … … God shepherded His people according to the integrity of his heart, and

… … … … … … God guided His people by the skillfulness of his hands.

… God gave up ........... their cattle to the hail, .......................................................................... and

… God gave up ........... their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

… God cast upon ........ them the fierceness of

… … .................................. God’s anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble,

… … … ............................. by sending evil angels among them.

… God made ............... a way to his anger;

… God spared not ...... their soul from death,

… but

… God gave ................ their life over to the pestilence; ............................................................ and

… God smote .............. all the firstborn in Egypt;

… … … … ......................... the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

… But

… God made ............... His own people to go forth like sheep, ................................................ and

… God guided ............. His own people in the wilderness like a flock. .................................... and

… God led ................... His own people on safely,

… … … … ......................... so that they feared not:

Yet

… they tempted the Most High God ............................................................................. and

… they provoked the Most High God, ............................................................................ and

… they kept not His testimonies:

But

… they turned back, ............ and

… they dealt unfaithfully ......... like their fathers:

… they were turned aside ....... like a deceitful bow.

For

… they provoked God .... to anger with their high places, ............................................... and

… they moved God .... to jealousy with their graven images.





When God heard this,

… God was wroth, .................... and

… God greatly abhorred Israel:

… … So that

… … … God forsook .............. the tabernacle of Shiloh,

… … … … ................................ the tent which God placed among men; ................................. and

… … … God delivered ........... His strength into captivity,...................................................... and

… … … God delivered ........... His glory into the enemy's hand.

… … … God was wroth .......... with His inheritance.

… … … .................................... The fire consumed their young men; ...................................... and

Then

… the LORD awaked ............... as one out of sleep, .................................................................. and

… … ......................................... like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. ............... and

… the LORD smote .................. His enemies in the hinder parts:

… the LORD put ...................... them to a perpetual reproach.

Moreover

… God refused ......................... the tabernacle of Joseph, ......................................................... and

… God chose not ..................... the tribe of Ephraim:

… But

… God chose ............................ the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which God loved. ............ and

… God built ............................. His sanctuary

… … ......................................... like high palaces,

… … ......................................... like the earth which God hath established for ever. ............... also

… God chose ............................ David His servant, .................................................................. and

… God took .............................. David from the sheepfolds:

… God brought ....................... David from following the ewes great with young

… … ......................................... to feed Jacob His people, ........................................................ and

A Psalm of Asaph.

O God,

… the nations have come into Your inheritance;

… … they have defiled Your holy temple;

… … they have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

… … they have given

… … … the dead bodies … of Your servants as food for the birds of the heavens,

… … … the flesh ………... of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.

… … they have shed

… … … the blood ………..of Your saints like water all around Jerusalem, … and

… … there was no one to bury Your saints.

… We have become a reproach to our neighbors,

… We have become a scorn and derision to those who are around us.

LORD,

… How long?

… … Will You be angry forever?

… … Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

… Pour out Your wrath on

… … the nations that do not know You, … and

… … the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.

… … … For

… … … … they have devoured Jacob, … and

… … … … they have laid waste his dwelling place.

Oh,

… Do not remember former iniquities against us!

… Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us,

… … For … we have been brought very low.

O God of Our Salvation,

… Help us,

… … For … the glory of Your name; … and

… Deliver us, … and

… Provide atonement for our sins,

… … For … Your name’s sake!

Why should the nations say,

“Where is their God?”






Let there be known

… among the nations in our sight,

… the avenging of the blood of Your servants which has been shed.

Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You;

… Preserve those who are appointed to die

… Preserve them according to the greatness of Your power; … and

O Lord,

… Return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom

… … their reproach with which they have reproached You,.

So

… Your people and sheep of Your pasture,

… … We will give You THANKS forever;

… … We will show forth Your PRAISE to all generations.

PSALM 81 - An Appeal for Israel’s REPENTANCE A Psalm of Asaph to the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath

Sing aloud ……………….. to God our strength;

Make a joyful shout …….. to the God of Jacob.

Raise a song … and

Strike the timbrel,

Strike the pleasant harp with the lute.

Blow the trumpet

… at the time of the New Moon,

… at the full moon,

… on our solemn feast day.

… … For

… … … this is A STATUTE FOR ISRAEL,

… … … this is A LAW OF THE GOD OF JACOB.

… … … this He established in Joseph as a testimony,

… … … … When He went throughout the land of Egypt,

… … … … … Where I heard a language I did not understand.

I removed his shoulder from the burden;

His hands were freed from the baskets.

You called in trouble, … and

I delivered you;

I answered you in the secret place of thunder;

I tested you at the waters of Meribah.

… Selah

O My people,

… Hear, … and

… I will admonish you!

O Israel,

… if you will listen to Me!

… … There shall be no foreign god among you;

… … Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

… … I am the LORD your God,

… … … Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;

… … Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.






But

... My people would not heed My voice, … and

… Israel would have none of Me.

So

… I gave them over

… … to their own stubborn heart,

… … to walk in their own counsels.

Oh,

… that My people would listen to Me,

… that Israel would walk in My ways!

… … I would soon subdue their enemies, … and

… … I would turn My hand against their adversaries.

… … … the haters of the LORD would pretend submission to Him,

… … … But

… … … their fate would endure forever.

… … He would have fed them

… … … also with the finest of wheat;

… … … and with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you.

… Selah

Defend the poor and fatherless;

The righteous, he

… … To declare that

… … … The LORD is upright;

… … … There is no unrighteousness in the LORD.

Shall the throne of iniquity,

… which devises evil by law,

… … They condemn innocent blood.

… … But

… … The LORD has been my defense, and

… … My God has been the rock of my refuge.

… … My God has brought on them their own iniquity, … and

… … My God shall cut them off in their own wickedness;

… … The LORD our God shall cut them off.

… … … I lie awake, …… and

… … … I am like ……… a sparrow alone on the housetop.

… My enemies reproach me all day long;

… Those who deride me swear an oath against me.

… … For

… … … Because of Your indignation and Your wrath;

… … … … I have eaten ashes like bread, … and

… … … … I mingled my drink with weeping,

… … For

… … … You have lifted me up … and

… … … You have cast me away.

… … … … My days are like a shadow that lengthens, … and

… … … … I wither away like grass.






But O LORD, … You shall endure forever, … and … The remembrance of Your name shall endure to all generations. … You will ARISE and HAVE MERCY on Zion; … … For … … … the time to FAVOR her has come, … … … Yes, … … … the set time has come. … … For … … … Your servants take pleasure in her stones, … and … … … Your servants show favor to her dust. So … The nations shall fear the name of the LORD, … and … All the kings of the earth shall fear Your glory. … … For … … … The LORD shall build up Zion; … … … The LORD shall appear in His glory. … … … The LORD shall regard the prayer of the destitute,… and … … … The LORD shall not despise their prayer. This will be written for the generation to come, … That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD. … … For … … … The LORD looked down from the height of His sanctuary; … … … The LORD viewed the earth from heaven, … … … … TO HEAR the groaning of the prisoner, … … … … TO RELEASE those appointed to death, … … … … TO DECLARE the name of the LORD in Zion, … and … … … … TO DECLARE the LORD’s praise in Jerusalem, … … … … … When the peoples are gathered together, … … … … … … to serve the LORD; … and … … … … … When the kingdoms are gathered together … … … … … … to serve the LORD. The LORD weakened my strength in the way; The LORD shortened my days. … I said, … … “O my God, … … … Do not take me away in the midst of my days; … … … Your years are throughout all generations. … … … You laid the foundation of the earth long ago, … and … … … The heavens are the work of Your hands. … … … … The earth and the heavens will perish, … … … … But … You will endure; … … … … Yes, … … … … The earth and the heavens will all grow old like a garment; … … … … The earth and the heavens You will change like a cloak, … … … … The earth and the heavens will be changed. … … … … But … You are the same, … and … … … … … … Your years will have no end. … … … … The children of Your servants will continue, … and … … … … Your servants’ descendants will be established before You.”

PSALM 104 - PRAISE to the Sovereign LORD for His Creation and Providence

Bless the LORD,

… O my soul!

O LORD my God,

… You are VERY GREAT:

… You are clothed with HONOR and MAJESTY,

… Who cover Yourself with LIGHT as with a garment,

… Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.

O LORD my God … Who lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,

… Who makes the clouds His chariot,

… Who walks on the wings of the wind,

… Who makes His angels spirits,

… Who makes His ministers a flame of fire.

O LORD my God … You who laid the foundations of the earth,

… … So that it should not be moved forever,

… You covered the foundations with the deep as with a garment;

… … The waters stood above the mountains.

… At Your rebuke ………………… the waters fled;

... At the voice of Your thunder …... the waters hastened away.

... The waters went up over the mountains;

... The waters went down into the valleys,

... … To the place which You founded for them.

... You have set a boundary

... … that the waters may not pass over,

... … that the waters may not return to cover the earth.

The LORD sends the springs into the valleys;

… The springs flow among the hills.

… The springs give drink to every beast of the field;

… The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

… By the springs the birds of the heavens have their home;

… The birds sing among the branches.

The LORD waters the hills from His upper chambers;

… The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.






The LORD causes

… the grass to grow for the cattle, … and

… vegetation to grow for the service of man,

… … That man may bring forth

… … … food from the earth, … and

… … … wine that makes the heart of man glad,

… … … oil to make the face of man shine, … and

… … … bread which strengthens man’s heart.

The LORD’s trees are full of sap,

The LORD planted the cedars of Lebanon,

… where the birds make their nests;

… the fir trees are where the stork has her home.

… the high hills are for the wild goats;

… the cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers.

The LORD appointed the moon for seasons;

The sun knows its going down.

LORD,

… You make darkness, and it is night,

… … In which all the beasts of the forest creep about.

… … The young lions

… … … roar after their prey,… and

… … … seek their food from God.

… When the sun rises,

… … The young lions

… … … gather together … and

… … … lie down in their dens.

… … Man

… … … goes out to his work … and

… … … goes to his labor until the evening.

O LORD,

… How manifold are Your works!

… … You have made them all in wisdom.

… … The earth is full of Your possessions—

… … This great and wide sea,

… … … in which are innumerable teeming things,

… … … … Living things both small and great.

… … … There the ships sail about;

… … … There is that Leviathan

… … … … which You have made to play there.

These all wait for You,

… That You may give them their food in due season.

… … What You give them, …………. they gather in;

… … You open Your hand, …………. they are filled with good.

… … You hide Your face, …………... they are troubled;

… … You take away their breath, …… they die and return to their dust.

… … You send forth Your Spirit, …… they are created; … and

… … You renew the face of the earth.





May the glory of the LORD endure forever;

May the LORD rejoice in His works.

The LORD looks on the earth, … and the earth trembles;

The LORD touches the hills, ….. and the hills smoke.

I will sing to the LORD ………… as long as I live;

I will sing praise to my God ….. while I have my being.

May my meditation be sweet to the LORD;

I will be glad in the LORD.

May sinners be consumed from the earth, … and

May the wicked be no more.

Bless the LORD,

… O my soul!

Praise the LORD!

… You children of Jacob, …. The LORD’s chosen ones!

He is the LORD our God;

The LORD’s judgments are in all the earth.

The LORD remembers His covenant forever,

… The word which the LORD commanded, for a thousand generations,

… The covenant which the LORD made with Abraham, … and

… The LORD’s oath to Isaac, … and

The LORD confirmed the covenant

… To Jacob for a statute,

… To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

… … Saying,

… … … “To you I will give the land of Canaan

… … … … As the allotment of your inheritance,”

… … When they were few in number,

… … … Indeed very few, and

… … When they were strangers in Canaan.






The LORD permitted no one to do Israel wrong

… When they went from one nation to another,

… When they went from one kingdom to another people;

Yes,

The LORD rebuked kings for their sakes,

… Saying,

… … “Do not touch My anointed ones, … and

… … Do no harm to My prophets.”

Moreover

The LORD called for a famine in the land;

The LORD destroyed all the provision of bread.

The LORD sent a man before them—

… Joseph—who was sold as a slave.

… … They hurt his feet with fetters,

… … Joseph was laid in irons.

… … … let Joseph go free.

… … … made Joseph lord of his house, … and

… … … made Joseph ruler of all his possessions,

… … … … to bind his princes at his pleasure, … and

… … … … to teach his elders wisdom.

Israel also came into Egypt, … and

Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.

… The LORD increased His people greatly, … and

... The LORD made His people stronger than their enemies.

... The LORD turned their enemies’ heart

... … to hate His people,

... … to deal craftily with the LORD’s servants.

The LORD sent

… Moses the LORD’s servant, … and

… Aaron whom the LORD had chosen.

… … Moses and Aaron performed

… … … the LORD’s signs among the Egyptians, … and

… … … wonders in the land of Ham.

The LORD’s sent darkness, … and

The LORD’s made it dark; … and

The LORD’s people did not rebel against His word.

The LORD turned the Egyptians’ waters into blood, … and

The LORD killed the Egyptians’ fish.

The Egyptians’ land abounded with frogs,

… even in the chambers of the Egyptians’ kings.

The LORD spoke, and

… there came swarms of flies, … and

… there came lice in all the Egyptians’ territory.

The LORD gave the Egyptians hail for rain, … and





The LORD gave the Egyptians flaming fire in their land.

The LORD struck the Egyptians’ vines also, … and

The LORD struck the Egyptians’ fig trees, … and

The LORD splintered the trees of the Egyptians’ territory.

The LORD spoke, … and

… locusts came,

… young locusts without number, and

… … ate up all the vegetation in the Egyptians’ land, …and

… … devoured the fruit of the Egyptians’ ground.

The LORD also destroyed all the firstborn in the Egyptians’ land,

The LORD also destroyed all the Egyptians’ strength.

The LORD also brought His people out with silver and gold, … and

There was none feeble among the LORD’s tribes.

Egypt was glad when they departed,

… For the fear of the LORD’s tribes had fallen upon them.

The LORD spread a cloud for a covering, … and

The LORD spread fire to give light in the night.

The people asked, … and

… the LORD brought quail, … and

… the LORD satisfied His people with the bread of heaven.

The LORD opened the rock, … and

… water gushed out;

… water ran in the dry places like a river.

For

… The LORD remembered ………. His holy promise, … and

… The LORD remembered …….… Abraham His servant.

… The LORD brought out ……….. His people with joy,

… The LORD brought out ……….. His chosen ones with gladness.

… The LORD gave ………………. His chosen people the lands of the Gentiles, … and

… The LORD’s chosen people …... inherited the labor of the nations,

… … That they might observe ….. the LORD’s statutes … and

… … That they might keep ……… the LORD’s laws.

Praise the LORD!





The Prayer Room Wednesday, September 3, 2014, 7:43 am TODAY's PSALM IS A PRAYER OF … PRAISE and THANKSGIVING to Our LORD … Because WE have sinned WITH OUR FATHERS, … Nevertheless the LORD heard their cry and remembered His covenant. … Thus, we also cry, "O LORD our God, Save us and Gather us.” PSALM 106 - JOY IN FORGIVENESS of Israel’s Sins Praise the LORD! Oh, … Give thanks to the LORD, … … For … … … The LORD is good! … … For … … … The LORD’s mercy endures forever. ... Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? ... Who can declare all His praise? ... Blessed are those who keep justice, … and ... Blessed is he who does righteousness at all times! O LORD, … Remember me with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, … Visit me with Your salvation, … … That I may see ………… the benefit of Your chosen ones, … … That I may rejoice …….. in the gladness of Your nation, … … That I may glory ………. with Your inheritance. WE have sinned with OUR FATHERS, WE have committed iniquity, WE have done wickedly. Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; Our fathers in Egypt did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, But Our fathers in Egypt rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea. NEVERTHELESS … The LORD saved our fathers for His name’s sake, ... … That the LORD might make His mighty power known. ... The LORD rebuked the Red Sea also, … and ... … the Red Sea dried up; SO ... The LORD led our fathers through the depths, ... … as through the wilderness. ... The LORD saved our fathers from the hand of him who hated them, … and ... The LORD redeemed our fathers from the hand of the enemy. ... The waters covered our fathers’ enemies; ... There was not one of them left. ... … Then ... … … our fathers believed the LORD’s words; ... … … our fathers sang the LORD’s praise.






… Our fathers soon forgot the LORD’s works; … Our fathers did not wait for the LORD’s counsel, ... But ... Our fathers lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, … and ... Our fathers tested God in the desert. … and ... The LORD gave our fathers their request, ... But ... The LORD sent leanness into our fathers’ their soul.

... When our fathers envied Moses in the camp, … and

... When our fathers envied Aaron the saint of the LORD,

... … The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan, … and

... … The earth covered the faction of Abiram.

... … A fire was kindled in their company;

... … The flame burned up the wicked.

... Our fathers made a calf in Horeb, … and

... Our fathers worshiped the molded image.

... … Thus

... … … Our fathers changed their glory into

... … … … the image of an ox that eats grass.

... Our fathers forgot God, their Savior,

... … Who had done great things in Egypt,

... … Who had done wondrous works in the land of Ham,

... … Who had done awesome things by the Red Sea.

... … … Therefore

... … … … The LORD said that He would destroy them,

... … … … … Had not Moses,

... … … … … … The LORD’s chosen one,

... … … … … … stood before the LORD in the breach,

... … … … … … stood to turn away the LORD’s wrath,

... … … … … … … … lest the LORD destroy them.

Then … Our fathers despised the pleasant land; … Our fathers did not believe the LORD’s word, … But … Our fathers complained in their tents, … and … Our fathers did not heed the voice of the LORD. … … Therefore … … … The LORD raised His hand in an oath against our fathers, … … … … to overthrow our fathers in the wilderness, … … … … to overthrow our fathers’ descendants among the nations, … and … … … … to scatter them in the lands. … Our fathers joined themselves also to Baal of Peor, … and … Our fathers ate sacrifices made to the dead. ... … Thus ... … … Our fathers provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, … and ... … … the plague broke out among our fathers. ... … Then ... … … Phinehas stood up … and ... … … Phinehas intervened, … and ... … … … the plague was stopped. … and ... … … … that was accounted to Phinehas for righteousness ... … … … … to all generations forevermore. … Our fathers angered the LORD also at the waters of strife, … … So that ………. it went ill with Moses on account of them; … … … Because …. our fathers rebelled against the LORD’s Spirit, … … … So that ..…. Moses spoke rashly with his lips.





… Our fathers did not destroy the peoples, ... … concerning whom the LORD had commanded them, ... But ... Our fathers mingled with the Gentiles … and ... Our fathers learned the Gentiles’ works; ... Our fathers served the Gentiles’ idols, ... … which became a snare to our fathers. ... Our fathers even sacrificed their sons … and ... Our fathers’ sacrificed their daughters to demons, … and ... Our fathers shed innocent blood, ... … the blood of their sons and daughters, ... … … whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; … and ... … the land was polluted with blood. ... ….Thus ... … … Our fathers were defiled by their own works, … and ... … … Our fathers played the harlot by their own deeds. Therefore … the wrath of the LORD was kindled against His people, … … So that … … … The LORD abhorred His own inheritance. … and … … … The LORD gave our fathers into the hand of the Gentiles, … and … … … Those who hated our fathers ruled over them. … our fathers’ enemies also oppressed them, … and … our fathers were brought into subjection under their enemies’ hand. … … Many times the LORD delivered them; … … But … … our fathers rebelled in their counsel, … and … … our fathers were brought low for their iniquity. Nevertheless … The LORD regarded our fathers’ affliction, … When the LORD heard their cry; … and … For their sake … … The LORD remembered His covenant, … and … … The LORD relented according to the multitude of His mercies. … … The LORD also made our fathers to be pitied by … … … all those who carried them away captive. O LORD our God, … Save us, … and … Gather us from among the Gentiles, … … Save us and gather us to give thanks to Your holy name, … … Save us and gather us to triumph in Your praise. Blessed be the LORD God of Israel … From everlasting to everlasting! … and Let all the people say, … “Amen!” Praise the LORD! ----------------------------------------------- SELAH…..SELAH…..SELAH

TODAY's PSALM IS A PRAYER for … The Right Building Of A Man’s House … The Man’s House Full Of Children … The LORD’s Provision for a Man’s Right Work PSALM 127 - LABORING and PROSPERING with THE LORD A Song of Solomon. A Song of Ascents. Unless the LORD builds the house, … The builders labor in vain; Unless the LORD guards the city, … The watchman stays awake in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, It is vain for you to sit up late, It is vain for you to eat the bread of sorrows; … For … … So the LORD gives His beloved sleep. Behold, … Children are a heritage from the LORD, … The fruit of the womb is a reward. … … Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, … … … So are the children of one’s youth. … Happy is the man who has his quiver full of children; … That man shall not be ashamed, … But … That man shall speak with his enemies in the gate. ______________________________________________ PSALM 127 Living Bible (TLB) Unless the LORD builds a house, … the builders’ work is useless. Unless the LORD protects a city, … sentries do no good. It is senseless for you to work so hard … from early morning until late at night, … fearing you will starve to death; … … for … … … God wants His loved ones to get their proper rest. Children are a gift from God; … they are a man’s reward. Children born to a young man … they are like sharp arrows to defend the man. Happy is the man … who has his quiver full of children. That man shall have the help he needs … when arguing with his enemies.

TODAY's PSALM IS A PRAYER for … The Right Building Of A Man’s House … The Man’s House Full Of Children … The LORD’s Provision for a Man’s Right Work

PSALM 128 - Blessings of Those Who Fear the LORD A Song of Ascents.

Blessed is every one who fears the LORD,

Who walks in His ways.

When you eat the labor of your hands,

You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine

In the very heart of your house,

Your children like olive plants

All around your table.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed

Who fears the LORD.

The LORD bless you out of Zion,

And may you see the good of Jerusalem

All the days of your life.

Yes, may you see your children’s children.

Peace be upon Israel!

TODAY's PSALM IS A PRAYER of … THANKSGIVING … … For Our LORD’s Blessings … … … Because We Fear Our LORD … … … Because We Walk in Our LORD’s Ways

PSALM 128 - Blessings of Those Who Fear the LORD A Song of Ascents.

Blessed is every one who FEARS the LORD,

Blessed is every one who WALKS IN the LORD’s WAYS.

When you EAT the LABOR of your hands,

… you shall be happy, … and

… it shall be well with you.

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine

The LORD BLESS you out of Zion, … and

May you see the good of Jerusalem

… all the days of your life.

Yes,

May you see your children’s children.

Peace be upon Israel!

The believer's FEAR is REVERENCE of God.

Hebrews 12:28-29 is a good description of this:

“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so

worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our ‘God is a consuming fire.’ ”

This REVERENCE and AWE is exactly what the fear of God means for Christians. This is the

motivating factor for us to surrender to the Creator of the Universe.

… LAMENT

… … For ... God’s People remembered Jerusalem in Their Captivity

… … For ... God’s People Could Not Sing In Their Captivity

… … But … God’s People Believed One Would Arise To Raze Their Captors

PSALM 137 - Longing for Zion in a Foreign Land

By the rivers of Babylon,

… There

… … we sat down,

… … yea,

… … we wept

… … … when we remembered Zion.

… … we hung our harps

… … … upon the willows in the midst of it.

… … … For

… … … … there

… … … … … those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, … and

… … … … … those who plundered us requested mirth,

… … … … … … Saying,

… … … … … … … “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land?

O Jerusalem,

… If I forget you,

… … Let my right hand forget its skill!

… If I do not remember you,

… If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.

… … Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth—

O LORD,

… Remember,

… … the day of Jerusalem,

… … … against the sons of Edom

… … … … who said,

… … … … … “Raze it, raze it, to its very foundation!”

O daughter of Babylon,

… who are to be destroyed,

… … happy the one who repays you as you have served us!

… … happy the one who takes and dashes Your little ones against the rock!

PSALM 137 - Longing for Zion in a Foreign Land

The Living Bible (TLB)

We sat beside the rivers of Babylon

… Thinking of Jerusalem.

… Weeping,

We have put away our lyres,

… Hanging them upon the branches of the willow trees,

… … For

… … … How can we sing?

… … … … Yet our captors, our tormentors,

… … … … … demand that we sing for them

… … … … … … the happy songs of Zion!

O Jerusalem,

… If I forget you,

… … let my right hand forget its skill upon the harp.

… If I fail to love her [Jerusalem] more than my highest joy,

… … let me never sing again.

O Jehovah,

… Do not forget

… … what these Edomites did

… … … on that day when the armies of Babylon captured Jerusalem.

… … … … they yelled

… … … … … “Raze her [Jerusalem] to the ground!”.

O Babylon,

… evil beast,

I said to the LORD: … “You are my God; … … O LORD. … … … Hear the voice of my supplications, … … O GOD the Lord, … … … You are the strength of my salvation, … … … You have covered my head in the day of battle. … … O LORD … … … Do not grant the desires of the wicked; … … … Do not further wicked scheme of the wicked, … … … … Lest the wicked be exalted. … … … … … Selah … As for the head of those who surround me, … … … Let the evil of their lips cover those who surround me; … … … Let burning coals fall upon those who surround me; … … … Let those who surround me be cast into the fire, … … … Let those who surround me be cast into deep pits, … … … … that those who surround me not rise up again. … Let not a slanderer be established in the earth; … Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him.”

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, I know that the LORD will maintain the justice for the poor. Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name; Surely the upright shall dwell in Your presence.
