Of David. A psalm. The Lord says to my lord: ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’ The Lord will extend your mighty sceptre from Zion, saying, ‘Rule in the midst of your enemies!’Your troops will be willing on your day of battle.Arrayed in holy splendour, your young men will come to you like dew from the […]

Meditation Psalm 109b
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. My God, whom I praise, do not remain silent,for people who are wicked and deceitful have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues.With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause.In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a […]

Meditation Psalm 108
A song. A psalm of David. My heart, O God, is steadfast; I will sing and make music with all my soul.Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.Be exalted, […]
Meditation Psalm 107b
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 out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his […]
Meditation Psalm 107a
Book VPsalms 107 – 150 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures for ever. Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story – those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south. Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where […]
Meditation Psalm 106c
They did not destroy the peoples as the Lord had commanded them,but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.They worshipped their idols, which became a snare to them.They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to false gods.They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters,whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their […]
Meditation Psalm 106b
But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold.In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wilderness they put God to the test.So he gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease among them. In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron, […]
Meditation Psalm 106a
Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures for ever. Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord or fully declare his praise?Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right. Remember me, Lord, when you show favour to your people, come to my aid when you save them,that I may enjoy […]
Meditation Psalm 105b
The Lord made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes,whose hearts he turned to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.They performed his signs among them, his wonders in the land of Ham.He sent darkness and made the land dark – for had they not rebelled against […]
