Chant A Psalm A Day :)

[Dr T]

I've been reading the Psalms. They are packed with great things. Just wanted to thow some out and get your ideas.

Psalm 1 (NASB)

1How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,

Nor stand in the path of sinners,

Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

[MaidservantX]

You know, just reading those words at face value, I don't get the sense that they are offered as catechism. I get the feeling that David has been there and knows what it feels like and knows what freedom from those traps feels like. He knows what it's like to deal with people that are not your fans.

I love the Psalms! I know it is a common one, but still, I really love Psalm 40.

(and U2 did this one, also!)

I waited patiently for the Lord

And he inclined unto me and heard my cry

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, our of the miry clay and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings

And he hath put a new song in my mouth even praise unto our God . . .

Yea, they law is within my heart . . .

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and they truth continually preserve me

For innumerable evils have compassed me about; mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to loook up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me . . .

Deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me . . .

I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer . . .

This is my praise to a God that has raised me up just as he did Lazarus.

Good thoughts X. :) Thank you for that.

I loved this:

I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer . . .

it amazes me and I am thankful! All praises to God

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

(Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King) Psalm 48:1-2

One of the great things about Pentecostals is that they know how to find the best Psalm verses done to music. This is one I learned growing up, one of my favorites. I'm singing it as I type. :)

Lift up your voice M!

I am adding to the first Psalm, the remainder of Psalm 1. Sorry for leaving it out in the OP

But his delight is in the law of the LORD,

And in His law he meditates day and night.

3He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,

Which yields its fruit in its season

And its leaf does not wither;

And in whatever he does, he prospers.

4The wicked are not so,

But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.

5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,

But the way of the wicked will perish.
