October 24, 2025, Psalm 85:1-13 85  Lord , you were favorable to your land;      you restored the fortunes of Jacob. 2  You forgave the iniquity of your people;      you covered all their sin.  Selah 3  You withdrew all your wrath;      you turned from your hot anger. 4  Restore us again, O God of our salvation,      and put away your indignation toward us! 5  Will you be angry with us forever?      Will you prolong your anger to all generations? 6  Will you not revive us again,      that your people may rejoice in you? 7  Show us your steadfast love, O  Lord ,      and grant us your salvation. 8  Let me hear what God the  Lord  will speak,      for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;  ...

October 23, 2025, Psalm 84:1-12 84  How lovely is your dwelling place,      O  Lord  of hosts! 2  My soul longs, yes, faints      for the courts of the  Lord ; my heart and flesh sing for joy      to the living God. 3  Even the sparrow finds a home,      and the swallow a nest for herself,      where she may lay her young, at your altars, O  Lord  of hosts,      my King and my God. 4  Blessed are those who dwell in your house,      ever singing your praise!  Selah 5  Blessed are those whose strength is in you,      in whose heart are the highways to Zion. 6  As they go through the Valley of Baca      they make it a place of springs;      the early rain also covers it with po...

October 22, 2025, Psalm 83:1-18

October 22, 2025, Psalm 83:1-18 83  O God, do not keep silence;      do not hold your peace or be still, O God! 2  For behold, your enemies make an uproar;      those who hate you have raised their heads. 3  They lay crafty plans against your people;      they consult together against your treasured ones. 4  They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;      let the name of Israel be remembered no more!” 5  For they conspire with one accord;      against you they make a covenant— 6  the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,      Moab and the Hagrites, 7  Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,      Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8  Asshur also has joined them;      they are the strong arm of the children of Lot....

October 21, 2025, Psalm 82:1-8

October 21, 2025, Psalm 82:1-8 82  God has taken his place in the divine council;      in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: 2  “How long will you judge unjustly      and show partiality to the wicked?  Selah 3  Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;      maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. 4  Rescue the weak and the needy;      deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” 5  They have neither knowledge nor understanding,      they walk about in darkness;      all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6  I said, “You are gods,      sons of the Most High, all of you; 7  nevertheless, like men you shall die,      and fall like any prince.” 8  Arise, O God, judge the earth;    ...

October 20, 2025, Psalm 81:1-16

October 20, 2025, Psalm 81:1-16 81  Sing aloud to God our strength;      shout for joy to the God of Jacob! 2  Raise a song; sound the tambourine,      the sweet lyre with the harp. 3  Blow the trumpet at the new moon,      at the full moon, on our feast day. 4  For it is a statute for Israel,      a rule of the God of Jacob. 5  He made it a decree in Joseph      when he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a language I had not known: 6  “I relieved your shoulder of the burden;      your hands were freed from the basket. 7  In distress you called, and I delivered you;      I answered you in the secret place of thunder;      I tested you at the waters of Meribah.  Selah 8  Hear, O my peopl...

October 19, 2025, Psalm 80:1-19 80  Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,      you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth. 2       Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might      and come to save us! 3  Restore us, O God;      let your face shine, that we may be saved! 4  O  Lord  God of hosts,      how long will you be angry with your people's prayers? 5  You have fed them with the bread of tears      and given them tears to drink in full measure. 6  You make us an object of contention for our neighbors,      and our enemies laugh among themselves. 7  Restore us, O God of hosts;      let your face shine, that we may be saved! 8  You brought a vine out ...

October 18, 2025, Psalm 79:1-13

October 18, 2025, Psalm 79:1-13 79  O God, the nations have come into your inheritance;      they have defiled your holy temple;      they have laid Jerusalem in ruins. 2  They have given the bodies of your servants      to the birds of the heavens for food,      the flesh of your faithful to the beasts of the earth. 3  They have poured out their blood like water      all around Jerusalem,      and there was no one to bury them. 4  We have become a taunt to our neighbors,      mocked and derided by those around us. 5  How long, O  Lord ? Will you be angry forever?      Will your jealousy burn like fire? 6  Pour out your anger on the nations      that do not know you, and on the kingdoms ...
