To the Chief Musician. With Stringed Instruments. A Contemplation of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God Psalm 55:1-7

John Nunnikhoven

To the Chief Musician. With Stringed Instruments. A Contemplation of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God, And do not hide Yourself from my supplication. Attend to me, and hear me; I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily, Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked So I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest Indeed, I would wander far off, And remain in the wilderness. Selah

Give ear to my prayer, O God—And You do!

Do not hide yourself from me—And You don't!

Attend to me—And You are there!

I am restless in my complaints—And You are Patient!

I am unsatisfied and threaten to flee—And You continue as the LORD, God, the Almighty.

Praise You for Your enduring love.

Reading

Morning Psalm 99, Noon Psalm 119:24-32, Evening Psalm 147

Alternate Reading Plan based on 7 chapters/day from 7 sections of the Scriptures. My groupings are: Genesis-Joshua, Judges to Esther, Job to Song of Solomon, Psalms breaking 119 into convenient sets, Isaiah to Malachi, Matthew to Acts, Romans to Revelation.

Set your own up in convenient groupings as fits your study habits.

I suggest either setting aside a period of the day to read all, or break the readings up into morning, mid-day, and evening series. Both approaches have their advantages, and both will build an awareness of the Bible as a whole over time.
