Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Why is it that the nation fights against the obvious? Why does the church of Christendom resist obedience and instead, follow after the idols of the world? Why…
I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, "You are my Son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash…
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Your Word -- the Lamp and the Light, the Revealer of the Way to the Promised Land of the Saints. Lord, infuse me with the Word. Today's readings in the Psalms: Morning: Psalm 34 Mid-day: 119:144-152…
He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, "As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill." Lord, there is no sense of immediacy here,…
Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, "Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us." Is this not an accurate…
Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified....Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should…

He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Your promise is that I will…
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. Lord, this is a…
Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O LORD, and teach me your rules. Unless it is freewill, how can it be praise? If I mouth empty litanies, it is no more than the turning of a prayer wheel. But when the praise is the overflow of my heart, then You…
But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. (8) Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order…
Praise Him with trumpet sound; praise Him with lute and harp! Praise Him with tambourine and dance; praise Him with strings and pipe! Praise Him with sounding cymbals; praise Him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD! I am to praise You…
Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens! Praise Him for His mighty deeds; praise Him according to His excellent greatness! Lord, this is a complete and consummate statement of praise; a reminder that I am to praise you where You are, for who…
