A psalm of David

“Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise His holy name. Let all that I am praise the lord; may I never forget the good things He does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals my diseases. He redeemed me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is revived like the eagle’s!”

“He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. The Lord is like a father to His children, tender and compassionate to those who fear Him. For He knows how weak we are; He remembers we are only dust. Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. The wind blows, and we are gone- as though we had never been here. But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear Him. His salvation extends to the children’s children of those who are faithful to His covenant, of those who obey His commandments! The Lord has made heaven His throne; from there He rules over everything.

Praise the Lord, you angels, you might ones who carry out His plans. Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels who serve Him and do His will! Praise the Lord, everything He has created, everything in all His kingdom.

Let all I am praise the Lord.” Psalm 103: 1-5, 12-22, NLT)

A psalm of David

“I will sing of Your love and justice, Lord. I will praise You with songs. I will be careful to live a blameless life- when will You come to help me? I will lead a life of integrity in my own home. I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them. I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil. I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit and pride.

I will search for faithful people to be my companions. Only those who are above reproach will be allowed to serve me. I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, and liars will not stay in my presence. My daily tasks will be to ferret out the wicked and free the city from the Lord from their grip.”

A psalm of thanksgiving

“Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before Him, singing with joy. Acknowledge that the Lord is God. He made us, and we are His. We His people, the sheep of His pasture.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving; go into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation.” (NLT)

“Come. let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come to Him with Thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms to praise Him. For the Lord is a great God, a great God, a great King above all Gods.

He holds His hands in the depths of the earth and the mightiest mountains. The sea belongs to Him, for He made it. His hands formed the the depths the earth and at the mightiest mountains. The sea belongs to Him, for He made it. His hands formed the dry land, too.” (Psalm 95: 1-5, NLT)

“Joyful are those You discipline,Lord, those You teach with Your instructions. You give them relief from troubled times until a pit is dug to capture the wicked. The Lord will not reject His people; He will not abandon His special possession. Judgement will again be founded on justice, and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it.”

I cried out,’I am slipping!’but Your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, Your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.”

“But the Lord is my fortress; my God is he might rock where I hide.” (Psalm 94: 12-15, 18-19, 22, NLT)

“The Lord is king! He is robed in majesty. Indeed, the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.

Your throne, O Lord, has stood from time immemorial. You Yourself are from the everlasting past. The floods have risen up, O Lord. The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves.

But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore- the Lord above is mightier than these! Your royal laws cannot be changed. Your reign, O Lord is holy forever and ever.”

“It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the Most High. It is good to proclaim Your unfailing love in the morning, You faithfulness in the evening, accompanied by the ten-string harp and the melody of the lyre.

You thrill me, O Lord, with all You have done for me! I sing for joy because of what You have done. O Lord, what great works You do! And how deep are Your thoughts.”

“Even in old age they (the godly) will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green. They will declare,’The Lord is just! He is my rock! there is no evil in Him!” (Psalm 92: 1-4, 14-15, NLT)

“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. He alone is my refuge, why place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him. For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.”

If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For He will order His angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up in their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on stone.”

The Lord says, ‘I will rescue those who love Me I will protect those who trust in My name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give the My salvation.'”(Psalm 91: 1-4, 9-12, 14-16, NLT)

(A Prayer of Moses, the man of God)

“Lord, through all the generations You have been our home! Before the mountains were born, before You gave birth to earth and the world, from the beginning to end, You are God.

You turn people back to dust, saying, ‘Return to dust, you mortals!’ For You, a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours. You sweep people away like dreams that disappear. They are like grass hat springs up in the morning. In the morning, it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered.”

“Seventy years You have given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away. Who can comprehend the power of Your anger? Your wrath is as awesome as the fear You deserve. Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow and listen.” (Psalm 90, 1-6, 10-12, NLT)

(A psalm of Ethan the Ezrahite)

“I will sing of the Lord’s unfailing love forever! Young and old will hear of your faithfulness. Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.”

“O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as You, O Lord? You are entirely faithful. You rule the oceans. You subdue their storm-tossed waves. You caused the great sea monster. You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm. The heavens are Yours and the earth is Yours; everything the world is Yours – you created it all.”

“Righteous and justice are the foundation of Your throne. Unfailing love and truth walk before You as attendants. Happy are the who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of Your presence, Lord. They rejoice all day long in Your wonderful reputation.” (Psalm 89, 1-2, 8-11, 14-16, NLT)
