Psalm 12 ~ HOPE in a World of Lies

To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

1 Save, O Lord, for the godly one is gone;

2 Everyone utters lies to his neighbor;

3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,

4 those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?”

5 “Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan,

6 The words of the Lord are pure words,

7 You, O Lord, will keep them;

8 On every side the wicked prowl,

Additional Scriptures

* John 14:18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”

* Isaiah 43: 1-5, 11-13 “But now thus says the Lord, He who created you, O Jacob, He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior…Because you are precious in My eyes, and honored, and I love you…Fear not, for I am with you”

* Isaiah 43: 11-13 “‘I, I am the Lord, and besides me there is no savior.  I declared and saved and proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you; and you are my witnesses,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I am God. Also henceforth I am He; there is none who can deliver from my hand; I work, and who can turn it back?’”

Psalm 11 ~ Seeking God’s Refuge

To the choirmaster. Of David.

1 In the Lord I take refuge;

2 for behold, the wicked bend the bow;

3 if the foundations are destroyed,

4 The Lord is in His holy temple;

5 The Lord tests the righteous,

6 Let Him rain coals on the wicked;

7 For the Lord is righteous;

Scriptures 

* 1 John 5:18 “We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.” 

* James 1: 12-18 “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.”

* Col 1:13-17 “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Him and for Him.  And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”

* 2 Corinthians 2:9-11 “For this is why I [Paul] wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything. Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.”

* John 16: 7-11 “Nevertheless, I [Jesus] tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you. And when He comes, He will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see Me no longer; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.”

Praise—Wisdom—Light

Scriptures

* Psalm 9

* 2 Corinthians 4:1-6 “Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”

Psalm 8 ~ Majestic Love of God

1 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

2  Out of the mouth of babies and infants,

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of Your fingers,

4 what is man that You are mindful of him,

5 Yet You have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings

6 You have given him dominion over the works of Your hands;

7 all sheep and oxen,

8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,

9 O Lord, our Lord,

Additional Scriptures

* John 17:26 “I made known to them Your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

* Ephesians 1:15-23 “For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His great might that He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And He put all things under His feet and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”

Psalm 7 ~ Be Friends with God

Scriptures:

* Psalm 7:1-17  Link to passage

* James 1:12-15 “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am being tempted by God,’ for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.”

* Revelation 12:10-12 “And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, ‘Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”

* Psalm 7:10-11, 17 “My shield is with GOD, who saves the upright in heart. God who is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day…. I will give to the Lord the thanks due to His righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.”

Psalm 6 ~ The Lord Hears You

A Psalm of David.

 1 O Lord, rebuke me not in Your anger,

2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;

3 My soul also is greatly troubled.

4 Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;

5 For in death there is no remembrance of You;

6 I am weary with my moaning;

7 My eye wastes away because of grief;

8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil,

9 The Lord has heard my plea;

10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;

Additional Scriptures:

* Hebrews 5:7-10 “In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.”

* Luke 11: 9-13 “And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

* Psalm 73:28 “But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works.”

Psalm 5 ~ God Spreads His Protection

A Psalm of David.

1 Give ear to my words, O Lord;

2 Give attention to the sound of my cry,

3 O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;

4 For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;

5 The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes;

6 You destroy those who speak lies;

7 But I, through the abundance of Your steadfast love, will enter Your house.

8 Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness

9 For there is no truth in their mouth;

10 Make them bear their guilt, O God;

11 But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;

12 For You bless the righteous, O Lord;

Psalm 4: Safety & Peace

A Psalm of David.

1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!

2 O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?

3 But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;

4 Be angry, and do not sin;

5 Offer right sacrifices,

6 There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?

7 You have put more joy in my heart

8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep;

Additional Scriptures:

* John 14:16-17 “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”

* James 1:19-20 “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”

* Colossians 3:12-14 “Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”

A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

1 O Lord, how many are my foes!

2 many are saying of my soul,

3 But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,

5 I lay down and slept;

6 I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.

7 Arise, O Lord!

8 Salvation belongs to the Lord;
