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 praises: Praise the Lord, all you nations

Psalm 117

1 Praise the Lord, all you nations;
    extol him, all you peoples.
2 For great is his love toward us,
    and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.

Praise the Lord

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 prayer: Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry for help come to you.

Psalm 102

1

Psalm 102 A prayer of an afflicted man. When he is faint and pours out his lament before the LORD.

1

Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry for help come to you.

2

Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly.

3

For my days vanish like smoke; my bones burn like glowing embers.

4

My heart is blighted and withered like grass; I forget to eat my food.

5

Because of my loud groaning I am reduced to skin and bones.

6

I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.

7

I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on a roof.

8

All day long my enemies taunt me; those who rail against me use my name as a curse.

9

For I eat ashes as my food and mingle my drink with tears

10

because of your great wrath, for you have taken me up and thrown me aside.

11

My days are like the evening shadow; I wither away like grass.

12

But you, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations.

13

You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come.

14

For her stones are dear to your servants; her very dust moves them to pity.

15

The nations will fear the name of the LORD, all the kings of the earth will revere your glory.

16

For the LORD will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory.

17

He will respond to the prayer of the destitute; he will not despise their plea.

18

Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the LORD:

19

"The LORD looked down from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth,

20

to hear the groans of the prisoners and release those condemned to death."

21

So the name of the LORD will be declared in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem

22

when the peoples and the kingdoms assemble to worship the LORD.

23

In the course of my life ^[1] he broke my strength; he cut short my days.

24

So I said: "Do not take me away, O my God, in the midst of my days; your years go on through all generations.

25

In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

26

They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded.

27

But you remain the same, and your years will never end.

28

The children of your servants will live in your presence; their descendants will be established before you."

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

1

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: Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men?

Psalm 58

1

Psalm 58 For the director of music. [To the tune of] "Do Not Destroy." Of David. A miktam. ^[1]

1

Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men?

2

No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.

3

Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward and speak lies.

4

Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,

5

that will not heed the tune of the charmer, however skillful the enchanter may be.

6

Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; tear out, O LORD, the fangs of the lions!

7

Let them vanish like water that flows away; when they draw the bow, let their arrows be blunted.

8

Like a slug melting away as it moves along, like a stillborn child, may they not see the sun.

9

Before your pots can feel [the heat of] the thorns-- whether they be green or dry--the wicked will be swept away. ^[2]

10

The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.

11

Then men will say, "Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth."

5

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
