Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 63:

"O God, you are my God;
I earnestly search for you.
My soul thirsts for you;
my whole body longs for you
in this parched and weary land where there is no water.
I have seen you in your sanctuary 
and gazed upon your power and glory.
Your unfailing love is better than life itself;
how I praise you!
I will praise you as long as I live,
lifting up my hands to you in prayer.
You satisfy me more than the richest feast.
I will praise you with songs of joy."

I lie awake thinking of you,
meditating on you through the night.
Because you are my helper,
I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.
I cling to you;
your strong right hand holds me securely.

But those plotting to destroy me will come to ruin.
They will go down into the depths of the earth.
They will die by the sword
and become food of jackals.
But the king will rejoice in God.
All who swear to tell the truth will praise him,
while liars will be silenced."

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 32:

"Oh, what joy for those 
whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sin is put out of sight!
Yes, what joy for those
whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt,
whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
When I refused to confess my sin,
my body wasted away,
and I groaned all day long.
Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me.
My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.

Finally, I confessed all my sins to you 
and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, "I will confess my rebellion to the LORD."
And you forgave me! All my quilt is gone.

Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time, 
that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgement.
For you are my hiding place;
you protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of victory.

The LORD says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.
Do not be like a senseless horse or mule
that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.

Many sorrows come to the wicked,
but unfailing love surrounds those who trust in the LORD.
So rejoice in the LORD and be glad, all you who obey him!
Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!"

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 16:

"Keep me safe, O God,
for I have come to you for refuge.

I said to the LORD, "You are my Master!
Every good thing I have comes from you."
The godly people in the land 
are my true heroes!
I take pleasure in them!
Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods.
I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods.

LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing.
You guard all that is mine.
The land you have given me is a pleasant land.
What a wonderful inheritance!

I will bless the LORD who guides me;
even at night my heart  instructs me.
I know the LORD is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.
My body rests in safety.

For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever."

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 91:

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the LORD:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I will trust him.
For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.
He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
Just open your eyes,
and see how the wicked are punished.

If you make the LORD your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your home.
For he will order his angels 
to protect you wherever you  go.
They will hold you up with their hands
so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.
You will trample upon lions and cobras;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!

The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation."

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 134:

"Oh praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD,
you who serve at night in the house of the LORD.

Lift your hands toward the sanctuary, and praise the LORD.

May the LORD, who made heaven and earth, bless you from Jerusalem."

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 29:

"Honor the LORD, your heavenly beings;
honor the LORD for his glory and strength.
Honor the LORD for the glory of his name.
Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.

The voice of the LORD echoes above the sea.  
The God of glory thunders.
The LORD thunders over the mighty sea.
The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is majestic.

The voice of the LORD splits the mighty cedars;
the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon's mountains skip like a calf;
he makes Mount Hermon leap like a young wild ox.
The voice of the LORD strikes with bolts of lightning.
The voice of the LORD makes the barren wilderness quake;
the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh .
The voice of the LORD twists mighty oaks and strips the forests bare.
In his Temple everyone shouts, "Glory!"

The LORD rules over the floodwaters.  
The LORD reigns as king forever.
The LORD gives his people strength.
The LORD blesses them with peace."

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 47:

"Come everyone! Clap your hands!
Shout to God with joyful praise!
For the LORD Most High is awesome.
He is the great King of all the earth.
He subdues the nations before us, 
putting our enemies beneath our feet.
He chose the Promised Land as our inheritance,
the proud possession of Jacob's descendants, whom he loves.

God has ascended with a mighty shout.
The LORD has ascended with trumpets blaring.
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
For God is the King over all the earth.
Praise him with a psalm.
God reigns above the nations,
sitting on his holy throne.
The rulers of the world have gathered together with the people of the God of Abraham. 
For all the kings of the earth belong to God.
He is highly honored everywhere."

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 100:

"Shout with joy to the LORD, all the earth!
Worship the LORD with gladness.
Come before him, singing with joy.
Acknowledge that the LORD is God! 
He made us, and we are his.
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good.
His unfailing love continues forever,
and his faithfulness continues to each generation."

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 3:

"O LORD, I have so many enemies;
so many are against me.
So many are saying,
"God will never rescue him!"

But you, O LORD, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.
I cried out to the LORD,
and he answered me from his holy mountain.

I lay down and slept, 
yet I woke up in safety,
for the LORD was watching over me.
I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side.

Arise, O LORD!
Rescue me, my God!
Slap all my enemies in the face!
Shatter the teeth of the wicked!
Victory comes from you, O LORD.
May you bless your people."

Psalm of the day!!

Psalm 146:

"Praise the LORD!
While I live I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
In that very day his plans perish.

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the LORD his God,
Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,
Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind;
The LORD raises those who are bowed down;
The LORD loves the righteous.
The LORD watches over the strangers;

He relieves the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

The LORD shall reign forever - Your God, O Zion, to all generations.  

Praise the LORD!"
