August 11, 2025, Psalm 11:1-7

August 11, 2025, Psalm 11:1-7 11  In the  Lord  I take refuge; how can you say to my soul,      “Flee like a bird to your mountain, 2  for behold, the wicked bend the bow;      they have fitted their arrow to the string      to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; 3  if the foundations are destroyed,      what can the righteous do?” 4  The  Lord  is in his holy temple;      the  Lord 's throne is in heaven;      his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. 5  The  Lord  tests the righteous,      but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. 6  Let him rain coals on the wicked;      fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. 7  For the  Lord  is ...

August 10, 2025, Psalm 10:1-18

August 10, 2025, Psalm 10:1-18 10  Why, O  Lord , do you stand far away?      Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? 2  In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor;      let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. 3  For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul,      and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the  Lord . 4  In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him;      all his thoughts are, “There is no God.” 5  His ways prosper at all times;      your judgments are on high, out of his sight;      as for all his foes, he puffs at them. 6  He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved;      throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.” 7  His mouth is filled wi...

August 9, 2025, Psalm 9:1-20

  August 9, 2025, Psalm 9:1-20 9  I will give thanks to the  Lord  with my whole heart;      I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. 2  I will be glad and exult in you;      I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. 3  When my enemies turn back,      they stumble and perish before your presence. 4  For you have maintained my just cause;      you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment. 5  You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;      you have blotted out their name forever and ever. 6  The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;      their cities you rooted out;      the very memory of them has perished. 7  But the  Lord  sits enthroned forever;      he has establ...

August 8, 2025, Psalm 8:1-9

August 8, 2025, Psalm 8:1-9 8  O  Lord , our Lord,      how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. 2       Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes,      to still the enemy and the avenger. 3  When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,      the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4  what is man that you are mindful of him,      and the son of man that you care for him? 5  Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings      and crowned him with glory and honor. 6  You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;      you have put all things under his feet, 7  all sheep and oxen,  ...

August 7, 2025, Psalm 7:1-17

August 7, 2025, Psalm 7:1-17 7  O  Lord  my God, in you do I take refuge;      save me from all my pursuers and deliver me, 2  lest like a lion they tear my soul apart,      rending it in pieces, with none to deliver. 3  O  Lord  my God, if I have done this,      if there is wrong in my hands, 4  if I have repaid my friend with evil      or plundered my enemy without cause, 5  let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,      and let him trample my life to the ground      and lay my glory in the dust.  Selah 6  Arise, O  Lord , in your anger;      lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;      awake for me; you have appointed a judgment. 7  Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you; ...

August 6, 2025, Psalm 6:1-10

August 6, 2025, Psalm 6:1-10 6  O  Lord , rebuke me not in your anger,      nor discipline me in your wrath. 2  Be gracious to me, O  Lord , for I am languishing;      heal me, O  Lord , for my bones are troubled. 3  My soul also is greatly troubled.      But you, O  Lord —how long? 4  Turn, O  Lord , deliver my life;      save me for the sake of your steadfast love. 5  For in death there is no remembrance of you;      in Sheol who will give you praise? 6  I am weary with my moaning;      every night I flood my bed with tears;      I drench my couch with my weeping. 7  My eye wastes away because of grief;      it grows weak because of all my foes. 8  Depart from me, all you workers of evil,  ...

August 5, 2025, Psalm 5:1-12

August 5, 2025, Psalm 5:1-12 To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David. 5  Give ear to my words, O  Lord ;      consider my groaning. 2  Give attention to the sound of my cry,      my King and my God,      for to you do I pray. 3  O  Lord , in the morning you hear my voice;      in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch. 4  For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;      evil may not dwell with you. 5  The boastful shall not stand before your eyes;      you hate all evildoers. 6  You destroy those who speak lies;      the  Lord  abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. 7  But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,      will enter your house. I will bow d...

August 4, 2025, Psalm 4:1-8

August 4, 2025, Psalm 4:1-8 4  Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!      You have given me relief when I was in distress.      Be gracious to me and hear my prayer! 2  O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?      How long will you love vain words and seek after lies?  Selah 3  But know that the  Lord  has set apart the godly for himself;      the  Lord  hears when I call to him. 4  Be angry, and do not sin;      ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent.  Selah 5  Offer right sacrifices,      and put your trust in the  Lord 6  There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?      Lift up the light of your face upon us, O  Lord !” 7  You have put more joy in ...

August 3, 2025, Psalm 3:1-8

August 3, 2025, Psalm 3:1-8 3  O  Lord , how many are my foes!      Many are rising against me; 2  many are saying of my soul,      “There is no salvation for him in God.”  Selah 3  But you, O  Lord , are a shield about me,      my glory, and the lifter of my head. 4  I cried aloud to the  Lord ,      and he answered me from his holy hill.  Selah 5  I lay down and slept;      I woke again, for the  Lord  sustained me. 6  I will not be afraid of many thousands of people      who have set themselves against me all around. 7  Arise, O  Lord !      Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;      you break the teeth of the wicked. 8  Salvation belongs...
