Sharing the Psalms....

[FoundInGrace]

Ps 139:5-11

You hem me in - behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if i make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if i settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me
your right hand will hold me fast.​

 

[2Timothy2]

Psalms 119
TETH

65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.​

~ Psalm 22:9-10 ~

Yet you brought me out of the womb;
you made me trust in you
even at my mother's breast.
From birth I was cast upon you;
from my mother's womb
you have been my God.​

 

[It's Mee]

Psalm II
IN the Lord I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
Flee lke a bird to your mountain.
For look, the wicked bend their bows;
They set their arrows against the strings
To shoot from the shadows
At the upright in heart.
When the foundations are being destroyed,
What can the righteous do?

 

[ElijahII]

Psalms 119 is probably my favorite part of the Bible. I have always heard that when you try to have quiet time studying your Bible, the Devil will distract you in someway. By reading one of the Psalms of 119, that is helping you put away the distractions.

I also find interesting that each and everyone of them have exactly 8 verses each.

God Bless You,
Michael

 

[Tekoa]

I love the psalms, I go there a lot when I am down or hurt and personalize scripture into a prayer from me to God and He uses that to comfort me, one of my favorite chapters is Psalms 91!

 

[nhzname]

~ Psalm 23:4-5 ~ ​

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, ​

I will fear no evil, for you are with me; ​

your rod and your staff, they comfort me. ​

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. ​

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.​

​

The Lord holds each of His children in the palm of His hand. Although He leaves us here on earth, sometimes surrounded by hostility, we can rest assured that nothing can snatch us away from Him. He pours His blessings upon us, and His love flows through us to touch the lives of others.​

My wife and I read from the Psalms each weekday morning. We average 8 a day and make our way through "the prayer book of the Church" in a months time. This has been our practice for the last 3+ years.

In addition to these daily readings, the offices of the Church are full of the Psalms. Divine Liturgy, vespers, matins, compline, et al. are filled with the Psalms or quotes from the Psalms.

I say all of that to say this, the Psalms are my favorite book of the Bible period. I am fully convinced that one can know God entirely through the Psalms. If you know the Psalms, then the Gospel of St. Matthew comes alive.

I do not have one favorite Psalm or one verse. Each speaks new to me each day. However, Psalm 50 (LXX), David's Psalm of repentance, is the only one I know entirely by heart. And I pray this one daily.

Peace.

Rdr. Peter

Thanks for sharing. I love to read how others are reading and applying the word in their lives.

~ Psalm 24:1-6 ~

The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;
for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false.
He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior.
Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob.​

 

[Evie]

Psalms 139 O,Lord you have searched me and you know me.
you know when I sit and when I rise,you perceive my thoughts from afar
you discern my going out and my lying down,
you are familiar with all my ways.

God is all-seeing and all-knowing ,all powerful and everywhere present. God knows us,God is with us, and His greatest gift is to allow us to know Him.

 

[2Timothy2]

Psalms 119
YOD

73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.​

 

[nhzname]

~ Psalm 25:4-7 ~

Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths;
guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD.​

[2Timothy2]

Psalms 119
KAPH

81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.​

 

[nhzname]

Psalm 26:6-8 ~
I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, O LORD,
proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
I love the house where you live, O LORD,
the place where your glory dwells.​

Isn't His loving grace something awesome?!! These verses give me assurance that when I come before His throne in repentance, seeking His forgiveness, He cleanses me from all sin, and I stand pure in the righteousness of Christ. I can then draw near to Him, enjoying the peace and joy of His presence. Blessed is His holy name! ​

~ Psalm 27:14 ~

Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.​

 

[2Timothy2]

Psalms 119
LAMED

89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
94 I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.​
