Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." To the contrary, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will…
But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth; they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals. But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for…
[W]hen I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. Never failing, never lacking, always…
By your appointment they stand this day, for all things are your servants. All things, not only under Your feet but to serve You. Even to the rewarding of Nebuchadnezzar for his labor in destroying Tyre by awarding him Egypt (Ezk. 29-18-20); is this not a demonstration that all things…
Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with…
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you…
And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit…
Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work. I recognize, Lord, that you will judge my works, not my sin for that is forgiven,…
Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath. Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them. I cannot…
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah There are no circumstances in which I should not trust You to be my guide and protector. There frequently are those challenges that I rely on my own weakness…
My eyes long for your promise; I ask, "When will you comfort me?" The comfort I seek, Lord, is the salvation of my children and grandchildren. The problem is that I am tongue-tied, unable to speak. Help me, Lord, give me backbone and courage. Today's readings in the Psalms: Morning:…
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. You alone, the only source…
How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? They only plan to thrust him down from his high position. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah Lord, prop up this leaning…
To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. Lord, challenging situations, tests and trials become opportunities to improve my…
