O Lord, for David’s sake remember all his strenuous effort, 2 and how he made a vow to the Lord, and swore an oath to the Powerful One of Jacob. 3 He said, “I will not enter my own home, or get into my bed. 4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep, or my eyelids to slumber, 5 until I find a place for the Lord, a fine dwelling place for the Powerful One of Jacob.” 6 Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah; we found it in the territory of Jaar. 7 Let us go to his dwelling place. Let us worship before his footstool. 8 Ascend, O Lord, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength. 9 May your priests be clothed with integrity. May your loyal followers shout for joy. 10 For the sake of David, your servant, do not reject your chosen king. 11 The Lord made a reliable promise to David; he will not go back on his word. He said, “I will place one of your desce

O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor do I have a haughty look.

From the deep water I cry out to you, O Lord. 2 O Lord, listen to me. Pay attention to my plea for mercy. 3 If you, O Lord, were to keep track of sins, O Lord, who could stand before you? 4 But you are willing to forgive, so that you might be honored. 5 I rely on the Lord. I rely on him with my whole being; I wait for his assuring word. 6 I yearn for the Lord, more than watchmen do for the morning, yes, more than watchmen do for the morning. 7 O Israel, hope in the Lord, for the Lord exhibits loyal love, and is more than willing to deliver. 8 He will deliver Israel from all their sins. -------------------------- And that's it for "Your Daily Psalm".

Psalm 129 A song of ascents. “Since my youth they have often attacked me,” let Israel say. 2 “Since my youth they have often attacked me, but they have not defeated me. 3 The plowers plowed my back; they made their furrows long. 4 The Lord is just; he cut the ropes of the wicked.” 5 May all who hate Zion be humiliated and turned back. 6 May they be like the grass on the rooftops, which withers before one can even pull it up, 7 which cannot fill the reaper’s hand, or the lap of the one who gathers the grain. 8 Those who pass by will not say, “May you experience the Lord’s blessing!

If the Lord does not build a house, then those who build it work in vain. If the Lord does not guard a city, then the watchman stands guard in vain. 2 It is vain for you to rise early, come home late, and work so hard for your food. Yes, he provides for those whom he loves even when they sleep. 3 Yes, sons are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward. 4 Sons born during one’s youth are like arrows in a warrior’s hand. 5 How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them. They will not be put to shame when they confront enemies at the city gate. -------------------------- And that's it for "Your Daily Psalm".

When the Lord restored the well-being of Zion, we thought we were dreaming. 2 At that time we laughed loudly and shouted for joy. At that time the nations said, “The Lord has accomplished great things for these people.” 3 The Lord did indeed accomplish great things for us. We were happy. 4 O Lord, restore our well-being, just as the streams in the arid south are replenished. 5 Those who shed tears as they plant will shout for joy when they reap the harvest. 6 The one who weeps as he walks along, carrying his bag of seed, will certainly come in with a shout of joy, carrying his sheaves of grain. -------------------------- And that's it for "Your Daily Psalm".

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved and will endure forever. 2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, now and forevermore. 3 Indeed, the scepter of a wicked king will not settle upon the allotted land of the godly. Otherwise the godly might do what is wrong. 4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, to the morally upright. 5 As for those who are bent on traveling a sinful path, may the Lord remove them, along with those who behave wickedly.

The snare broke, and we escaped. 8 Our deliverer is the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth. -------------------------- And that's it for "Your Daily Psalm".

I was glad because they said to me, “We will go to the Lord’s temple.” 2 Our feet are standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem is a city designed to accommodate an assembly. 4 The tribes go up there, the tribes of the Lord, where it is required that Israel give thanks to the name of the Lord. 5 Indeed, the leaders sit there on thrones and make legal decisions, on the thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May those who love her prosper. 7 May there be peace inside your defenses, and prosperity inside your fortresses. 8 For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors I will say, “May there be peace in you.” 9 For the sake of the temple of the Lord our God I will pray for you to prosper. -------------------------- And that's it for "Your Daily Psalm".

With the sharp arrows of warriors, with arrowheads forged over the hot coals. 5 How miserable I am.
