May you feel lighter knowing that He can carry any burden for you.

I’m Rebecca Foster and this podcast season 1 includes readings from the Psalms, reflection and a musical rendition from the Psalms Project based on the Psalm.  

Psalm 29

A psalm of David.

1 

Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,

    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

2 

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

    worship the Lord in the splendor of his[a] holiness.

3 

The voice of the Lord is over the waters;

    the God of glory thunders,

    the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.

4 

The voice of the Lord is powerful;

    the voice of the Lord is majestic.

5 

The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;

    the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6 

He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,

    Sirion[b] like a young wild ox.

7 

The voice of the Lord strikes

    with flashes of lightning.

8 

The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;

    the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.

9 

The voice of the Lord twists the oaks[c]

    and strips the forests bare.

And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

10 

The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;

    the Lord is enthroned as King forever.

11 

The Lord gives strength to his people;

    the Lord blesses his people with peace.

The Lord is my strength and my shield;

    my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.

My heart leaps for joy,

    and with my song I praise him.

8 

The Lord is the strength of his people,

    a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.

9 

Save your people and bless your inheritance;

    be their shepherd and carry them forever.

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?
When the wicked advance against me to devour me,

it is my enemies and my foes  who will stumble and fall.

Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear;

though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.
One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling;

he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.

Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me;

at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord.
Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.

My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek.

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, God my Saviour.

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

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

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

    spouting malicious accusations.

I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

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

God loves you. Walk in His ways and with integrity.

God is sovereign. He will protect you. May you know His mercy.

Psalm 24 - May you know the glory of the Lord.

Psalm 23 
The Lord is my shepherd;

May you know the God who REDEEMS and hears even when we FEEL like He has forsaken us.

Psalm 21 - There is VICTORY and UNFAILING LOVE. May you have victory and unfailing love in your life today. Reading of the Psalm by Rebecca Foster with Musical Rendition by The Psalms Project - www.thepsalmsproject.com
