Today's bible teaching: No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength

Psalm 33

1

Psalm 33

1

Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.

2

Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.

3

Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.

4

For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.

5

The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

6

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

7

He gathers the waters of the sea into jars ^[1] ; he puts the deep into storehouses.

8

Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him.

9

For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.

10

The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.

11

But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

12

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.

13

From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;

14

from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth--

15

he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.

16

No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.

17

A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.

18

But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

19

to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

20

We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.

21

In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.

22

May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you

Today's bible teaching: I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.

Psalm 37

1

Psalm 37 Of David. ^[1]

1

Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong;

2

for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.

3

Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:

6

He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

7

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

8

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret--it leads only to evil.

9

For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

10

A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.

11

But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.

12

The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them;

13

but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.

14

The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.

15

But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.

16

Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked;

17

for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.

18

The days of the blameless are known to the LORD, and their inheritance will endure forever.

19

In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.

20

But the wicked will perish: The LORD's enemies will be like the beauty of the fields, they will vanish--vanish like smoke.

21

The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;

22

those the LORD blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be cut off.

23

If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm;

24

though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

25

I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.

26

They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed.

27

Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.

28

For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off;

29

the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.

30

The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just.

31

The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip.

32

The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, seeking their very lives;

33

but the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned when brought to trial.

34

Wait for the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

35

I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a green tree in its native soil,

36

but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found.

37

Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a future ^[2] for the man of peace.

38

But all sinners will be destroyed; the future ^[3] of the wicked will be cut off.

39

The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.

40

The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.

Today's bible teaching: How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings

Psalm 36

1

Psalm 36 For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD.

1

An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: ^[1] There is no fear of God before his eyes.

2

For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin.

3

The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good.

4

Even on his bed he plots evil; he commits himself to a sinful course and does not reject what is wrong.

5

Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

6

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.

7

How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find ^[2] refuge in the shadow of your wings.

8

They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.

9

For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.

10

Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11

May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12

See how the evildoers lie fallen-- thrown down, not able to rise!

Today's praises: Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name

Psalm 103

1

Psalm 103 Of David.

1

Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

2

Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits--

3

who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,

4

who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,

5

who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6

The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

7

He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:

8

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.

9

He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;

10

he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.

11

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;

12

as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;

14

for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.

15

As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;

16

the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.

17

But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children--

18

with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.

19

The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.

20

Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.

21

Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.

22

Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul

Today's bible teaching: LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?

Psalm 15

1

Psalm 15 A psalm of David.

1

LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?

2

He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart

3

and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman,

4

who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts,

5

who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

Today's bible teaching: Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place?

Psalm 24

1

Psalm 24 Of David. A psalm.

1

The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;

2

for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

3

Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place?

4

He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. ^[1]

5

He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior.

6

Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob. ^[2] Selah

7

Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.

8

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

9

Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.

10

Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty-- he is the King of glory. Selah
