Psalm 63:1-11 NKJV

Psalm 63:1-11 O GOD, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.
So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life. My lips shall praise You.

Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall shall praise You with joyful lips.

When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.

Because You have been my help. Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.

My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.

But those who seek my life, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

They shall fail by the sword, They shall be a portion for jackals.

But the king shall rejoice in God; Everyone swears by Him shall glory; But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

Psalm 27:1-6 THE LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell.

Though an army may encamp against me, In this I will be confident.

One thing I have desired of the LORD, That I will seek; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple.

For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.

And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

Psalm 138:1-8 I WILL praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You.

I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.

In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul.

All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O LORD, When they hear Your words of Your mouth.

Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, For great is the glory of the LORD.

Though the LORD is on high, Yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from afar.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me.

The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.

Psalm 28:1-5 TO You I will cry, O LORD my Rock; Do not be silent to me, Lest, if You are silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

Do not take me away with the wicked And with the workers of iniquity, Who speak peace to their neighbors, But evil is in their hearts.

Give them according to the deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them what they deserve.

Because they do not regard the works of the LORD, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up.

Psalm 143:5-12 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands.

I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah

Answer me speedily, O LORD; My spirit fails! Do not hide Your face from me, Lest I be like those who go down into the pit.

Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.

Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; In You I take shelter.

Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Revive me, O LORD, for Your name's sake! For Your righteousness sake bring my soul out of trouble.

In Your mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul; For I am Your servant.

Psalm 42:6-11 O my God, my soul is cast down within me; Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, and from the heights of Hermon, From the Hill Mizar,

Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.

The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me-- A prayer to the God of my life.

I will say to God my Rock, "Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

as with a breaking of my bones, My enemies reproach me, While they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
