Sharing the Psalms....

[johan777]

God--you're my God! ​

I can't get enough of you!
I've worked up such hunger and thirst for God, traveling across dry and weary deserts.
So here I am in the place of worship,
eyes open, drinking in your strength and glory.
In your generous love I am really living at last!
My lips brim praises like fountains.
I bless you every time I take a breath;
My arms wave like banners of praise to you.
I eat my fill of prime rib and gravy;
I smack my lips. It's time to shout praises!
If I'm sleepless at midnight,
I spend the hours in grateful reflection.
Because you've always stood up for me,
I'm free to run and play.
I hold on to you for dear life,
and you hold me steady as a post.
(Psalm 63:1-8 ~ Message)

~ Psalm 36:5-10 ~

Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the great deep.
O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.
How priceless is your unfailing love!
Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights.
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
Continue your love to those who know you,
your righteousness to the upright in heart. ​

 

[2Timothy2]

Psalms 119
PE

129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou used to do unto those that love thy name.
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.​

 

[nhzname]

~ Psalm 37:23-24 ~ ​

​

If the LORD delights in a man's way, ​

he makes his steps firm; ​

though he stumble, ​

he will not fall, ​

for the LORD upholds him with his hand.​

God is our ever present help in times of trouble. Praise His name. It is His grace that sustains us and strengthens us. He makes our paths straight and protects us against the temptations and tricks of the enemy. ​

 

[2Timothy2]

Psalms 119
TZADDE

137 Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.​

 

[maxer]

Psalm 48:14
For this God is our God for ever and ever;
he will be our guide even to the end.

 

[nhzname]

~ Psalm 38:9 ~

All my longings lie open before you, O Lord;
my sighing is not hidden from you.​

 

[2Timothy2]

Psalms 119
KOPH

145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.
150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.​

Oh my gosh! How I NEEDED these verses today!!! God bless!

Kelco:

Psalms are my favorite book of the bible after John. And my favorite psalm is 139:

Psa 139:1 O LORD , you have searched me
and you know me.
Psa 139:2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
Psa 139:3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Psa 139:4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD .
Psa 139:5 You hem me in-behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
Psa 139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
Psa 139:7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
Psa 139:8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
Psa 139:9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
Psa 139:10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
Psa 139:11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
Psa 139:12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
Psa 139:13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
Psa 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
Psa 139:15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
Psa 139:16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Psa 139:17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Psa 139:18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.
Psa 139:19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
Psa 139:20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
Psa 139:21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD ,
and abhor those who rise up against you?
Psa 139:22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
Psa 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Psa 139:24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

Brinny:

Psalms 6:2-102 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. 3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? 4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. 5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? 6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. 7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. 8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. 9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. 10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

 

[nhzname]

~ Psalm 39:1-8 ~

I said, "I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin;
I will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence."
But when I was silent and still, not even saying anything good,
my anguish increased.
My heart grew hot within me, and as I meditated, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:

"Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days;
let me know how fleeting is my life.
You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Each man's life is but a breath.

Selah

Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro:
He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it.

"But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you.
Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools.​

 

[nhzname]

~ Psalm 40:1-10 ~

I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.​

 

[2Timothy2]

Psalms 119
RESH

153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
156 Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.
158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.​

 

[FoundInGrace]

Ps 107:17-22

"Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities.
They loathed all food and drew near the gates of death.
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
He sent forth his word and healed them;
he rescued them from the grave.


Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.
Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy."


Amazing God - when we least deserve it, he shows his mercy.
Where would we be without God?

 

[nhzname]

~ Psalm 41:11-13 ~

I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
In my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.

Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.​

When I first came back to the Lord in '97, I had a 74 year old mentor for the first couple of years. She said, "If you ever find that you're not at peace throughout the day, stop whatever you're doing and go back and find out where you lost it, cause outside of Him, there is no peace. Once you realize what went wrong, don't let it go on, but repent, seek His face, and be reconciled to God."

She was so right, because, really ... if we're not walking in His presense, its not Him that moved. When we have that 'peace that passes all understanding', we know that He is guiding us and we are walking according to His will - close to Him, just where He wants us. This verse says that to me.

Psa 139:24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

This is my favorite Psalm as well. It is so beautiful and it always reminds me of how God is always there with me. All of the Psalms are amazing though.

Where would we be without God?

This is so true, where would we be with out Him...we are no where...outside of Him...amen! But...in Him...we are "found" in grace.

161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.​

 

[nhzname]

~ Psalm 42:7-8 ~

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers have swept over me.

By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me -
a prayer to the God of my life.

Psa 30:4​

​

Sing praises to the LORD,
O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.
Psa 30:5 For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.

​

His favor is for a lifetime
