Today's bible teaching: He who does these things will never be shaken.

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: No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.

Psalm 101

Psalm 101 Of David. A psalm.

1

I will sing of your love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will sing praise.

2

I will be careful to lead a blameless life-- when will you come to me? I will walk in my house with blameless heart.

3

I will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men I hate; they will not cling to me.

4

Men of perverse heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with evil.

5

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him will I put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not endure.

6

My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he whose walk is blameless will minister to me.

7

No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.

8

Every morning I will put to silence all the wicked in the land; I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.

Today's bible teaching: Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

Psalm 1

1

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

2

But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

3

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

4

Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

5

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6

For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

When you went out before your people, O God, when you marched through the wasteland, Selah

8

the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

9

You gave abundant showers, O God; you refreshed your weary inheritance.

10

Your people settled in it, and from your bounty, O God, you provided for the poor.

11

The Lord announced the word, and great was the company of those who proclaimed it:

12

"Kings and armies flee in haste; in the camps men divide the plunder.

13

Even while you sleep among the campfires, ^[3] the wings of [my] dove are sheathed with silver, its feathers with shining gold."

14

When the Almighty ^[4] scattered the kings in the land, it was like snow fallen on Zalmon.

15

The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains; rugged are the mountains of Bashan.

16

Why gaze in envy, O rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign, where the LORD himself will dwell forever?

17

The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands; the Lord [has come] from Sinai into his sanctuary.

23

that you may plunge your feet in the blood of your foes, while the tongues of your dogs have their share."

24

Your procession has come into view, O God, the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary.

25

In front are the singers, after them the musicians; with them are the maidens playing tambourines.

26

Praise God in the great congregation; praise the LORD in the assembly of Israel.

27

There is the little tribe of Benjamin, leading them, there the great throng of Judah's princes, and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.

28

Summon your power, O God ^[7] ; show us your strength, O God, as you have done before.

29

Because of your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring you gifts.

30

Rebuke the beast among the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations. Humbled, may it bring bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.

31

Envoys will come from Egypt; Cush ^[8] will submit herself to God.

32

Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth, sing praise to the Lord, Selah

33

to him who rides the ancient skies above, who thunders with mighty voice.

34

Proclaim the power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power is in the skies.

Today's prayer: Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble

Psalm 90

1

Psalm 90 A prayer of Moses the man of God.

1

Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.

2

Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

3

You turn men back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, O sons of men."

4

For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.

5

You sweep men away in the sleep of death; they are like the new grass of the morning--

6

though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered.

7

We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.

8

You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.

9

All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.

10

The length of our days is seventy years-- or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span ^[1] is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

11

Who knows the power of your anger? For your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you.

12

Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

13

Relent, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants.

14

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

15

Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.

16

May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.

17

May the favor ^[2] of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us-- yes, establish the work of our hands.
