Home - His Word - Heaven

Psalm 3 (David, when he fled from Absalom)

 

LORD, how are they increased that trouble me!

Many are they that rise up against me.

Many there be which say of my soul,

'There is no help for him in God.'

 

But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me;

my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
 

I cried unto the LORD with my voice,

and he heard me out of his holy hill.

I laid me down and slept;

I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people,

that have set themselves against me round about.

 

Psalm 33

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous!

For praise from the upright is beautiful.
Praise the Lord with the harp...
Sing to Him a new song....
 

For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His work is done in truth.
He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
 

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
 

The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
 

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
He fashions their hearts individually;
He considers all their works.

No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
A horse is a vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
To deliver their soul from death,
And to keep them alive in famine.
 

Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.

Psalm 63 (David)

 

Early will I seek You;
My soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.
So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
 

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
 

When I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches.
Because You have been my help,
Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
My soul follows close behind You;
Your right hand upholds me.

 

Psalm 93

The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty...
He has girded Himself with strength.
Surely the world is established,

So that it cannot be moved.
Your throne is established from of old;
You are from everlasting....

Your testimonies are very sure;
Holiness adorns Your house, O Lord, forever!

 

Psalm 123

 

Unto You I lift up my eyes,
O You who dwell in the heavens.
Behold, as the eyes of servants

look to the hand of their masters,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He has mercy on us.
