Psalm On Demand - Psalm 115

Psalm 115

¹ Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.

² Why let the nations say, "Where is their God?"

³ Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes.

⁴ Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands.

⁵ They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see.

⁶ They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell.

⁷ They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound.

⁸ And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them.

⁹ O Israel, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield.

¹⁰ O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield.

¹¹ All you who fear the Lord, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield.

¹² The Lord remembers us and will bless us. He will bless the people of Israel and bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron.

¹³ He will bless those who fear the Lord, both great and lowly.

¹⁴ May the Lord richly bless both you and your children.

¹⁵ May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

¹⁶ The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to all humanity.

¹⁷ The dead cannot sing praises to the Lord, for they have gone into the silence of the grave.

¹⁸ But we can praise the Lord both now and forever!

Praise the Lord!

140:1 Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man.

Preserve me from the violent man;

140:2 those who devise mischief in their hearts.

They continually gather themselves together for war.

140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent.

Viper’s poison is under their lips.

Selah.

140:4 Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked.

Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.

140:5 The proud have hidden a snare for me,

they have spread the cords of a net by the path.

They have set traps for me.

Selah.

140:6 I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.”

Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.

140:7 Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation,

you have covered my head in the day of battle.

140:8 Yahweh, don’t grant the desires of the wicked.

Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud.

Selah.

140:9 As for the head of those who surround me,

let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

140:10 Let burning coals fall on them.

Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits,

from where they never rise.

140:11 An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth.

Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

140:12 I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted,

and justice for the needy.

140:13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name.

The upright will dwell in your presence.

Psalm 124

 

A song of ascents. Of David.

¹ If the LORD had not been on our side-

let Israel say-

² if the LORD had not been on our side

when men attacked us,

³ when their anger flared against us,

they would have swallowed us alive;

⁴ the flood would have engulfed us,

the torrent would have swept over us,

⁵ the raging waters

would have swept us away.

⁶ Praise be to the LORD,

who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

⁷ We have escaped like a bird

out of the fowler's snare;

the snare has been broken,

and we have escaped.

⁸ Our help is in the name of the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.”

Let your glory be above all the earth!
57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down.

Psalm On Demand - Psalm 51

Psalm 51

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

51:1 Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
51:2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.
51:3 For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.
51:4 Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.
51:6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
51:7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
51:8 Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
51:9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.
51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.
51:11 Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your holy Spirit from me.
51:12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.
51:13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners shall be converted to you.
51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
51:15 Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare your praise.
51:16 For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
51:18 Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.
51:19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.

Psalm 49

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

49:1 Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,

49:2 both low and high, rich and poor together.

49:3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart shall utter understanding.

49:4 I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp.

49:5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

49:6 Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

49:7 none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

49:8 For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

49:9 That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

49:10 For he sees that wise men die;

likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.

49:11 Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever,

and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.

49:12 But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure. He is like the animals that perish.

49:13 This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings.

Selah.

49:14 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd.

The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning.

Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.

49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me.

Selah.

49:16 Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased.

49:17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.

49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—

49:19 he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.

49:20 A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.

Psalm 46 - Psalm and prayer for peace

Psalm 46

For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah.

According to Alamoth.

 

46:1 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
46:2 Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes,
though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
46:3 though its waters roar and are troubled,
though the mountains tremble with their swelling.

Selah

46:4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad,
the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
46:5 God is in her midst.
She shall not be moved.
God will help her at dawn.
46:6 The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved.
He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.
46:7 Yahweh of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Selah

46:8 Come, see Yahweh's works,
what desolations he has made in the earth.
46:9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth.
He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear.
He burns the chariots in the fire.
46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations.
I will be exalted in the earth."
46:11 Yahweh of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Selah
