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 for the Soul: Psalms Twenty-Five

A Psalm of David

 Unto You, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in you: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Yea, let none that wait on you be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

Shew me your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.  Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are the God of my salvation; on you do I wait all the day.

Remember, O LORD, your tender mercies and your lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to your mercy remember you me for your goodness' sake, O LORD.

Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.  The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.  All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. What man is he that fears the LORD? Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.  His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.  Turn you to me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.  The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring you me out of my distresses.  Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.  O 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 on you.  Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

(KJV)

Psalms - Twenty- One | Psalms for the Soul

In this Psalm, David sings of a King
 that is greater than he.

 The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

For you prevent him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head.

He asked life of you, and you gave it him, even length of days for ever and ever. His glory is great in your salvation: honor and majesty have you laid upon him. For you have made him most blessed for ever: You have made him exceeding glad with your countenance.

For the king trust in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: your right hand shall find out those that hate you.

You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your  anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

For they intended evil against you: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready your arrows upon your strings against the face of them.  Be you exalted, LORD, in your own strength: so will we sing and praise your power.

 (KJV)

Psalms Seventeen - Psalms for the Soul

 Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry  give ear to my prayer, that go not out

 of feigned lips.   Let my sentence come forth from your presence; let your eyes behold the things that are equal.

You have proved mine heart; you have visited me in the night; you have tried me, and shall find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.  Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

Hold up my goings in your paths, that my footsteps slip not. I have called upon you, for you will hear me, O God: incline your ear to me, and hear my speech.

Show your marvellous lovingkindness, O you that save by your right hand them which put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings, From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.  They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth

Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is your sword

From men which are your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

As for me, I will behold your face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness.

 (KJV)

The Book of Revelations

Psalms Nine | Psalms for the Soul

 I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvellous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O You most High.

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.

For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.

You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name for ever and ever.

O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. But the LORD shall endure for ever: he have prepared his throne for judgment.

And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you. Sing praises to the LORD, which dwell in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

When he make inquisition for blood, he remember them: he forget not the cry of the humble.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:

That I may show forth all you praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in you salvation. The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.  The LORD is known by the judgment which he execute: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion  (that is Meditation).  Selah.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.  For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight.

Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

 (KJV)

Psalms Two - Psalms for the Soul

Psalms 2:1
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.  He that sit in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.  Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.  I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me,  Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Hebrews 1:5 and Hebrews 5:5

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
 (KJV)
