Psalms One - Blessed is the man

Blessed is the man that walk not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever 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, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.  (KJV)

Psalms for the Soul: Psalms Forty-Three


Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.  For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?


O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
 (KJV)

Psalms 23 | The LORD is My Shepherd


GOD, THE GOOD SHEPHERD
        A Psalm of David


He leads me
beside the still waters.
 The LORD is my shepherd I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures he leads me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul: he lead 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: for you are with  your rod and your staff they comfort me.  You prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies You anoint my head with oil my cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

 Jesus in the New Testament, refers to Himself as the " Good Shepherd."


Psalms Sixteen- God Preserves | Psalms for the Soul


Michtam of David.
A Poem

 Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.  O my soul, you have said to the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extend not to you  But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.  The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.


The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.  I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.  I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoice my flesh also shall rest in hope.  For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer (allow) your Holy One to see corruption.

Psalms 16:11
You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

 (KJV)
