Psalm 12:5 "Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, I will now arise," says the LORD; "I will place him in the safety for which he longs." O, what a promise, my Lord. Your strong right arm will intervene, it does come between me and my doubts, my…
Psalm 12:3-4 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts, those who say, "With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?" Lord, protect me from myself, protect me from that pride of knowledge, skill and accomplishment…
Psalm 12:1-2 To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Save, O LORD, for the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man. Everyone utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak. Lord, I…
Psalm 11:7 For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face. "This is eternal life, to know You, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." Is this not the reward for obedience, Lord? To know You, to behold Your face?…
Psalm 11:4-6 The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD's throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. The LORD tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire…

Psalm 10:12-15 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted. Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, "You will not call to account"? But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into your hands;…
Psalm 10:8-11 He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless; he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into…
Psalm 10:5-7 His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them. He says in his heart, "I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity." His mouth is filled with cursing…
Psalm 10:1-4 Why, O LORD, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the…
Psalm 9:19-20 Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you! Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah Lord, what would it be like to have this nation recognize that it is but a union of…
Psalm 119:171-172 My lips will pour forth praise, for you teach me your statutes. My tongue will sing of your word, for all your commandments are right. Fill my mouth with Your praises; let my lips and tongue be the instruments of a symphony of heavenly thanksgiving; remove anything which…
Psalm 9:11-18 Sing praises to the LORD, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds! For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted. Be gracious to me, O LORD! See my affliction from those who hate me,…
