Meditation Psalm 19b

The law of the Lord is perfect,    refreshing the soul.The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,    making wise the simple.The precepts of the Lord are right,    giving joy to the heart.The commands of the Lord are radiant,    giving light to the eyes.The fear of the Lord is pure,    enduring for ever.The decrees of the Lord are firm,    and all of them are righteous. They are more precious than gold,    than much pure gold;they are […]

Meditation Psalm 19a

For the director of music. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God;    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.Day after day they pour forth speech;    night after night they reveal knowledge.They have no speech, they use no words;    no sound is heard from them.Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,    their words to […]

The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!    Exalted be God my Saviour!He is the God who avenges me,    who subdues nations under me,    who saves me from my enemies.You exalted me above my foes;    from a violent man you rescued me.Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;    I will sing the praises of your name.

Meditation Psalm 18e

I pursued my enemies and overtook them;    I did not turn back till they were destroyed.I crushed them so that they could not rise;    they fell beneath my feet.You armed me with strength for battle;    you humbled my adversaries before me.You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,    and I destroyed my foes.They cried for help, but there […]

Meditation Psalm 18d

As for God, his way is perfect:    the Lord’s word is flawless;    he shields all who take refuge in him.For who is God besides the Lord?    And who is the Rock except our God?It is God who arms me with strength    and keeps my way secure.He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;    he causes me to stand on the […]

Meditation Psalm 18b

The earth trembled and quaked,    and the foundations of the mountains shook;    they trembled because he was angry.Smoke rose from his nostrils;    consuming fire came from his mouth,    burning coals blazed out of it.He parted the heavens and came down;    dark clouds were under his feet.He mounted the cherubim and flew;    he soared on the wings of the wind.He made darkness […]

Meditation Psalm 17

A prayer of David.Hear me, Lord, my plea is just;listen to my cry.Hear my prayer –it does not rise from deceitful lips.Let my vindication come from you;may your eyes see what is right. Though you probe my heart,though you examine me at night and test me,you will find that I have planned no evil;my mouth […]

A psalm of David.Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?Who may live on your holy mountain?
