Today's bible teaching: Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies-- make straight your way before me.

Psalm 5

1

Psalm 5 For the director of music. For flutes. A psalm of David.

1

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing.

2

Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.

3

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

4

You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.

5

The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong.

6

You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors.

7

But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple.

8

Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies-- make straight your way before me.

9

Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.

10

Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.

11

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

12

For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

Today's bible teaching: Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad

Psalm 14

1

Psalm 14 For the director of music. Of David.

1

The fool ^[1] says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.

2

The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

3

All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

4

Will evildoers never learn-- those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on the LORD?

5

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous.

6

You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge.

7

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Today's bible teaching: In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me:Flee like a bird to your mountain.

Psalm 11

1

Psalm 11 For the director of music. Of David.

1

In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain.

2

For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

3

When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do ^[1] ?"

4

The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them.

5

The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked ^[2] and those who love violence his soul hates.

6

On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot.

7

For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see his face.

Today's praises: Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.

Today's bible teaching: He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God

Psalm 50

1

Psalm 50 A psalm of Asaph.

1

The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.

2

From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.

3

Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages.

4

He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people:

5

"Gather to me my consecrated ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

6

And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah

7

"Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.

8

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.

9

I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens,

10

for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.

11

I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.

12

If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

13

Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?

14

Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High,

15

and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

16

But to the wicked, God says: "What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips?

17

You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you.

18

When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers.

19

You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.

20

You speak continually against your brother and slander your own mother's son.

21

These things you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether ^[1] like you. But I will rebuke you and accuse you to your face.

22

"Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue:

23

He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him ^[2] the salvation of God."

Today's bible: With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.

Psalm 60

1

Psalm 60 For the director of music. To [the tune of] "The Lily of the Covenant." A miktam ^[1] of David. For teaching. When he fought Aram Naharaim ^[2] and Aram Zobah, ^[3] and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

1

You have rejected us, O God, and burst forth upon us; you have been angry--now restore us!

2

You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking.

3

You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.

4

But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow. Selah

5

Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.

6

God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.

7

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.

8

Moab is my washbasin, upon Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."

9

Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

10

Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?

11

Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.

12

With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.

Today's bible teaching: The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips

Psalm 16

1

Psalm 16 A miktam^[1] of David.

1

Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.

2

I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."

3

As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.^[2]

4

The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips.

5

LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.

6

The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.

7

I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.

8

I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9

Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,

10

because you will not abandon me to the grave,nor will you let your Holy One see decay.

11

You have made^[ known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Today's prayer: Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.

Psalm 10

1

Psalm 10 

1

Why, O LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

2

In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.

3

He boasts of the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.

4

In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.

5

His ways are always prosperous; he is haughty and your laws are far from him; he sneers at all his enemies.

6

He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me; I'll always be happy and never have trouble."

7

His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.

8

He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent, watching in secret for his victims.

9

He lies in wait like a lion in cover; he lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.

10

His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength.

11

He says to himself, "God has forgotten; he covers his face and never sees."

12

Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.

13

Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, "He won't call me to account"?

14

But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.

15

Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; call him to account for his wickedness that would not be found out.

16

The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.

17

You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,

18

defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.

Today's praises: Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the LORD

Psalm 134

Today's prayer: Be merciful to me, O God, for men hotly pursue me; all day long they press their attack.

Psalm 56

1

Psalm 56 For the director of music. To [the tune of] "A Dove on Distant Oaks." Of David. A miktam. ^[1] When the Philistines had seized him in Gath.

1

Be merciful to me, O God, for men hotly pursue me; all day long they press their attack.

2

My slanderers pursue me all day long; many are attacking me in their pride.

3

When I am afraid, I will trust in you.

4

In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?

5

All day long they twist my words; they are always plotting to harm me.

6

They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, eager to take my life.

7

On no account let them escape; in your anger, O God, bring down the nations.

8

Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll ^[2] -- are they not in your record?

9

Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.

10

In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise--

11

in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12

I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you.

13

For you have delivered me ^[3] from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. 

Today's bible teaching: Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

Psalm 27

1

Psalm 27 Of David.

1

The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid?

2

When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, ^[1] when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.

3

Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.

4

One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.

5

For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.

6

Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.

7

Hear my voice when I call, O LORD; be merciful to me and answer me.

8

My heart says of you, "Seek his ^[2] face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek.

9

Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior.

10

Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

11

Teach me your way, O LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.

12

Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

13

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Today's bible teaching: Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever

Psalm 125

1

Psalm 125 A song of ascents.

1

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.

2

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.

3

The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil.

4

Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.

5

But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.

Today's prayer: But you, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.

Psalm 22

1

Psalm 22 For the director of music. To [the tune of] "The Doe of the Morning." A psalm of David.

1

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning?

2

O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, and am not silent.

3

Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the praise of Israel. ^[1]

4

In you our fathers put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them.

5

They cried to you and were saved; in you they trusted and were not disappointed.

6

But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.

7

All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads:

8

"He trusts in the LORD; let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him."

9

Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mother's breast.

10

From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother's womb you have been my God.

11

Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.

12

Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.

13

Roaring lions tearing their prey open their mouths wide against me.

14

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me.

15

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me ^[2] in the dust of death.

16

Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced ^[3] my hands and my feet.

17

I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me.

18

They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.

19

But you, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.

20

Deliver my life from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs.

21

Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save ^[4] me from the horns of the wild oxen.

22

I will declare your name to my brothers; in the congregation I will praise you.

23

You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!

24

For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.

25

From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you ^[5] will I fulfill my vows.

26

The poor will eat and be satisfied; they who seek the LORD will praise him-- may your hearts live forever!

27

All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him,

28

for dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations.

29

All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him-- those who cannot keep themselves alive.

30

Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord.

31

They will proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn-- for he has done it.

4

The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."

5

The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

O LORD, the king rejoices in your strength. How great is his joy in the victories you give!

You have granted him the desire of his heart and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

3

You welcomed him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.

All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

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

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.
