Psalms Sixty-four | Hear My Voice O God

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Psalms 64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

Psalms 64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

Psalms 64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

Psalms 64:5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

Psalms 64:6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

Psalms 64:7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

Psalms 64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

Psalms 64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

Psalms 64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
 (KJV)

Psalms 130 - When in the Depths of Despair

A Song of Degree




 This Psalm has no title nor author's name, either in the Hebrew, or in any of the Versions

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If you, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul wait
for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning:

I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.  (KJV)

Psalms One Hundred Twenty- One

This Psalmist, perhaps was a pilgrim to Jerusalem.  He saw the mighty fortress of Zion, and heard his companions express confidence in its mighty defenses.  But he trusted in God as the source of his help rather than in man - made citadels and nature's rocky mountains.

A Psalm of David - A Song of degrees

 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.


The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.  (KJV)

Psalms 3 | When David Fled From Absalom

Psalms of David

When he fled from Absalom his son.

LORD how are they increased that trouble me!  Many are they that rise up against me.  Many there be which say of my soul There is no help for him in God. Selah.

But thou O LORD art a shield for me my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.  I cried unto the LORD with my voice and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.


I laid me down and slept; I awake; for the LORD sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.  Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.  Salvation belongs to the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
 (KJV)
