Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 149:

"Praise the LORD!

Sing to the LORD a new song.
Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful.

O Israel, rejoice in your Maker.
O people of Jerusalem, exult in your King.
Praise his name with dancing,
accompanied by tambourine and harp.
For the LORD delights in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.
Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them.
Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.

Let the praises of God be in their mouths, 
and a sharp sword in their hands - 
to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
to bind their kings with shackles
and their leaders with iron chains,
to execute the judgment written against them.
This is the glorious privilege of his faithful ones.

Praise the LORD!"

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 25:

"O LORD, I give my life to you.  I trust in you, my God!
Do not let me be disgraced,
or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, 
but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.

Show me the right path, O LORD; 
point out the road for me to follow.  
Lead me by your truth and teach me,
for you are the God who saves me.
All day long I put my hope in you.
Remember, O LORD, your compassion and unfailing love, 
which you have shown from long ages past.
Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.
Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O LORD. 

The LORD is good and does what it is right;
he shows the proper path to those who go astray.
He leads the humble in doing right,
teaching them his way.
The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands."

For the honor of your name, O LORD, forgive my many, many  sins.
Who are those who fear the LORD?
He will show them the path they should choose.
They will live in prosperity,
and their children will inherit the land.

The LORD is a friend to those who fear him.
He teaches them his covenant.
My eyes are always on the LORD,
for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies.

Turn to me and have mercy,
for I am alone and in deep distress.
My problems go from bad to worse.
Oh, save me from them all!
Feel my pain and see my trouble.
Forgive all my sins.
See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me!
Protect me! Rescue my life from them!
Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge,
May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.

O God, ransom Israel
from all its troubles."

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 138:

"I give you thanks, O LORD, with all my heart;
I will sing your praises before the gods.
I bow before your holy Temple as I worship.
I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness;
for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name.
As soon as I pray, you answer me;
you encourage me by giving me strength.

Every king in all the earth will thank you, LORD,
for all of them will hear your words.

Yes, they will sing about the LORD'S ways,
for the glory of the LORD is very great.
Though the LORD is great, he cares for the humble,
but he keeps his distance from the proud.

Though I am surrounded by troubles,
you will protect me from the anger of my enemies.
You reach out your hand,
 and the power of your right hand saves me.
The LORD will work out his plans for my life -
for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever.
Don't abandon me, for you made me."

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 99:

"The LORD is king!
Let the nations tremble!
He sits on his throne between the cherubim.
Let the whole earth quake!
The LORD sits in majesty in Jerusalem, exalted above all the nations.
Let them praise your great and awesome name.
Your name is holy!
Mighty King, lover of justice, 
you have established fairness.
You have acted with justice and righteousness throughout Israel.
Exalt the LORD our God!
Bow low before his feet, for he is holy!
Moses and Aaron were among his priests;
Samuel also called on his name.
They cried to the LORD for help,
and he answered them.
He spoke to Israel from the pillar of cloud,
and they followed the laws and the decrees he gave them.
O LORD our God, you answered them.
You were a forgiving God to them, but you punished them when they went wrong.
Exalt the LORD our God, 
and worship at his holy mountain in Jerusalem,
for the LORD our God is holy!"

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 54:

"Come with great power, O God, and rescue me!
Defend me with your might.
Listen to my prayer, O God.
Pay attention to my plea.
For strangers are attacking me;
violent people are trying to kill me.
They care nothing for God.

But God is my helper.
The LORD keeps me alive!
May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them.  
Do as you promised and put an end to them.

I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you;
I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good.

For you have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my enemies."

Monday 20 May 2019

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 20:

"In times of trouble, may the LORD answer your cry.
May the name of the God of of Jacob keep you safe from all harm.
May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem.
May he remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

May he grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed.
May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory
and raise a victory banner in the name of our God.
May the LORD answer all your prayers.

Now I know that the LORD rescue his anointed king.
He will answer him from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power.
Some nations boast of their chariots and horses,
but we boast in the name of the LORD our God.
Those nations will fall down and collapse, but we will rise up and stand firm.

Give victory to our king, O LORD!
Answer our cry for help."

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 92:

"It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
to sing praises to the Most High.
It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, 
your faithfulness in the evening,
accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument, a harp and the melody of a lyre.

You thrill me, LORD, with all you have done for me!
I sing for joy because of what you have done.
O LORD, what great works you do!
And how deep are your thoughts.
Only a simpleton would not know,
and only a fool would not understand this:
Though the wicked sprout like weeds
and evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.

But you, O LORD will be exalted forever.
Your enemies, LORD will surely perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
You have anointed me with the finest oil.
My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.
But the godly will flourish like Palm trees and grow strong like cedars of Lebanon.

For they are transplanted to the LORD'S own house.
They flourish in the courts of our God.

Even in old age they will still produce fruit;
they will remain vital and green.
They will declare, "The LORD is just!
He is my Rock!
There is no evil in him!"

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 111:

"Praise the LORD!
I will thank the LORD with all my heart as I meet with his godly people.
How amazing are the deeds of the LORD!
All who delight in him should ponder them.
Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty.
His righteousness never fails.
He causes us to remember his wonderful works.
How gracious and merciful is our LORD!
He gives food to those who fear him;
he always remembers his covenant.
He has shown his great power to his people by giving them the lands of other nations.
All he does is just and good,
and all his commandments are trustworthy.
They are forever true,
to be obeyed faithfully and with integrity.
He has paid a full ransom for his people.
He has guaranteed his covenant with them forever.
What a holy, awe-inspiring name he has!
Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true wisdom.
All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.
Praise him forever!"

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 116:

"I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. 
Because he bends down to listen, 
I will pray as long as I have breath!
Death wrapped its ropes around me;
the terrors of the grave overtook me.
I saw only trouble and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the LORD:
"Please, LORD, save me!"
How kind the LORD is! How good he is!
So merciful, this God of ours!
The LORD protects those of childlike faith; 
I was facing death, and he saved me.
Let my soul be at rest again,
for the LORD has been good to me.
He has saved me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.
And so I walk in the LORD'S presence 
as I live here on earth!
I believed in you, so I said,
"I am deeply troubled, LORD."
In my anxiety I cried out to you,
"These people are all liars!"
What can I offer the LORD 
for all he has done for me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation 
and praise the LORD'S name for saving me.
I will keep my promises to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
The LORD cares deeply 
when his loved ones die.
O LORD, I am your servant;
yes, I am your servant, born into your household;
you have freed me from my chains.
I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving 
and call on the name of the LORD.
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD 
in the presence of all his people -
in the house of the LORD 
in the heart of Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD!"

Psalm of the day!!
Psalm 33:

"Let the godly sing for joy to the LORD; it is fitting for the pure to praise him.  

Praise the LORD with melodies on the lyre; make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.  
Sing a new song of praise to him: play skillfully on the harp and sing with joy.

For the word of the LORD holds true, and we can trust everything he does.
He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the LORD filles the earth.

The LORD merely spoke, and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word, and all the stars were born.
He assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.

Let the whole world fear the LORD, and let everyone stand in awe of him.
For when he spoke, the world began! 
It appeared at his command.

The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes.
But the LORD'S plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.

What joy for the nation whose God is the LORD, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.

The LORD looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race.  
From his throne he observes all who live on the earth.
He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do.  
The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.  
Don't count on your warhorse to give you victory- for all its strength, it cannot save you.

But the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love.
He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine.

We put our hope in the LORD.
He is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone."
