September 30, 2025, Psalm 61:1-8 61 Hear my cry, O God,      listen to my prayer; 2  from the end of the earth I call to you      when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock      that is higher than I, 3  for you have been my refuge,      a strong tower against the enemy. 4  Let me dwell in your tent forever!      Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings!  Selah 5  For you, O God, have heard my vows;      you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. 6  Prolong the life of the king;     , but may his years endure to all generations! 7  May he be enthroned forever before God;      appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him! 8  So will I ever sing praises to your name,    ...

September 29, 2025, Psalm 60:1-12 60 O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses;      you have been angry; oh, restore us. 2  You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open;      repair its breaches, for it totters. 3  You have made your people see hard things;      you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. 4  You have set up a banner for those who fear you,      that they may flee to it from the bow.  Selah 5  That your beloved ones may be delivered,      give salvation by your right hand and answer us! 6  God has spoken in his holiness:      “With exultation I will divide up Shechem      and portion out the Vale of Succoth. 7  Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;      Ephraim is my helmet;...

September 28, 2025, Psalm 59:1-17 59 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;      protect me from those who rise up against me; 2  deliver me from those who work evil,      and save me from bloodthirsty men. 3  For behold, they lie in wait for my life;      fierce men stir up strife against me. For no transgression or sin of mine, O  Lord , 4       for no fault of mine, they run and make ready. Awake, come to meet me, and see! 5       You,  Lord  God of hosts, are God of Israel. Rouse yourself to punish all the nations;      spare none of those who treacherously plot evil.  Selah 6  Each evening they come back,      howling like dogs      and prowling about the city. 7  There they are, bellowing with their mouths  ...

September 27, 2025, Psalm 58:1-11 58 Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?      Do you judge the children of man uprightly? 2  No, in your hearts you devise wrongs;      your hands deal out violence on earth. 3  The wicked are estranged from the womb;      they go astray from birth, speaking lies. 4  They have venom like the venom of a serpent,      like the deaf adder that stops its ear, 5  so that it does not hear the voice of charmers      or of the cunning enchanter. 6  O God, break the teeth in their mouths;      tear out the fangs of the young lions, O  Lord ! 7  Let them vanish like water that runs away;      when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted. 8  Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime,      li...

September 26, 2025, Psalm 57:1-11 57 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,      for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,      till the storms of destruction pass by. 2  I cry out to God Most High,      to God who fulfills his purpose for me. 3  He will send from heaven and save me;      he will put to shame him who tramples on me.  Selah God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness! 4  My soul is in the midst of lions;      I lie down amid fiery beasts— the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows,      whose tongues are sharp swords. 5  Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!      Let your glory be over all the earth! 6  They set a net for my steps;      my sou...

September 25, 2025, Psalm 56:1-13 56 Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;      all day long an attacker oppresses me; 2  my enemies trample on me all day long,      for many attack me proudly. 3  When I am afraid,      I put my trust in you. 4  In God, whose word I praise,      in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.      What can flesh do to me? 5  All day long they injure my cause;      all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6  They stir up strife, they lurk;      they watch my steps,      as they have waited for my life. 7  For their crime will they escape?      In wrath cast down the peoples, O God! 8  You have kept count of my tossings;      put my tears in your bottle. ...

September 24, 2025, Psalm 55:1-23 55 Give ear to my prayer, O God,      and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy! 2  Attend to me, and answer me;      I am restless in my complaint and I moan, 3  because of the noise of the enemy,      because of the oppression of the wicked. For they drop trouble upon me,      and in anger they bear a grudge against me. 4  My heart is in anguish within me;      the terrors of death have fallen upon me. 5  Fear and trembling come upon me,      and horror overwhelms me. 6  And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!      I would fly away and be at rest; 7  yes, I would wander far away;      I would lodge in the wilderness;  Selah 8  I would hurry to find a shelter      from th...

September 23, 2025, Psalm 54:1-7 54 O God, save me by your name,      and vindicate me by your might. 2  O God, hear my prayer;      give ear to the words of my mouth. 3  For strangers have risen against me;      ruthless men seek my life;      they do not set God before themselves.  Selah 4  Behold, God is my helper;      the Lord is the upholder of my life. 5  He will return the evil to my enemies;      in your faithfulness put an end to them. 6  With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;      I will give thanks to your name, O  Lord , for it is good. 7  For he has delivered me from every trouble,      and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies. This prayer is a prayer for deliverance. David is surrou...

September 22, 2025, Psalm 53:1-6 53 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”      They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;      there is none who does good. 2  God looks down from heaven      on the children of man to see if there are any who understand,      who seek after God. 3  They have all fallen away;      together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good,      not even one. 4  Have those who work evil no knowledge,      who eat up my people as they eat bread,      and do not call upon God? 5  There they are, in great terror,      where there is no terror! For God scatters the bones of him who encamps against you;      you put them to shame, for God has rejected them. 6  Oh, that salvation for Israel w...
