Meditation Psalm 147

Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God,    how pleasant and fitting to praise him! The Lord builds up Jerusalem;    he gathers the exiles of Israel.He heals the broken-hearted    and binds up their wounds.He determines the number of the stars    and calls them each by name.Great is our Lord and mighty in power;    his understanding has no limit.The Lord sustains […]

Meditation Psalm 146

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul. I will praise the Lord all my life;    I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.Do not put your trust in princes,    in human beings, who cannot save.When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;    on that very day their plans come to nothing.Blessed are those whose help is […]

Meditation Psalm 144

Of David. Praise be to the Lord my Rock,    who trains my hands for war,    my fingers for battle.He is my loving God and my fortress,    my stronghold and my deliverer,my shield, in whom I take refuge,    who subdues peoples under me. Lord, what are human beings that you care for them,    mere mortals that you think of them?They are like a breath;    their […]

Meditation Psalm 143

A psalm of David. Lord, hear my prayer,    listen to my cry for mercy;in your faithfulness and righteousness    come to my relief.Do not bring your servant into judgment,    for no one living is righteous before you.The enemy pursues me,    he crushes me to the ground;he makes me dwell in the darkness    like those long dead.So my spirit grows faint within […]

Meditation Psalm 142

A maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the Lord;    I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.I pour out before him my complaint;    before him I tell my trouble. When my spirit grows faint within me,    it is you who watch over my way.In the path where I walk    people have […]

Meditation Psalm 141

A psalm of David. I call to you, Lord, come quickly to me;    hear me when I call to you.May my prayer be set before you like incense;    may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. Set a guard over my mouth, Lord;    keep watch over the door of my lips.Do not let my heart be […]
