A David Psalm 1-4 Up with God! Down with his enemies! Adversaries, run for the hills! Gone like a puff of smoke, like a blob of wax in the fire— one look at God and the wicked vanish. When the righteous see God in action they’ll laugh, they’ll sing, they’ll laugh and sing for joy. […]

A David Psalm 1 God, God, save me! I’m in over my head, 2 Quicksand under me, swamp water over me; I’m going down for the third time. 3 I’m hoarse from calling for help, Bleary-eyed from searching the sky for God. 4 I’ve got more enemies than hairs on my head; Sneaks and liars […]

A David Prayer 1-3 God! Please hurry to my rescue! God, come quickly to my side! Those who are out to get me— let them fall all over themselves. Those who relish my downfall— send them down a blind alley. Give them a taste of their own medicine, those gossips off clucking their tongues. 4 […]

An Asaph Psalm 1 You walked off and left us, and never looked back. God, how could you do that? We’re your very own sheep; how can you stomp off in anger? 2-3 Refresh your memory of us—you bought us a long time ago. Your most precious tribe—you paid a good price for us! Your […]

An Asaph Psalm 1 We thank you, God, we thank you— your Name is our favorite word; your mighty works are all we talk about. 2-4 You say, “I’m calling this meeting to order, I’m ready to set things right. When the earth goes topsy-turvy And nobody knows which end is up, I nail it […]

An Asaph Psalm 1-3 God is well-known in Judah; in Israel, he’s a household name. He keeps a house in Salem, his own suite of rooms in Zion. That’s where, using arrows for kindling, he made a bonfire of weapons of war. 4-6 Oh, how bright you shine! Outshining their huge piles of loot! The […]
