The King We Need

[Psalm 72] Our prayers for a righteous king will be answered with the reign of Christ

Hope Interrupting Despair

Psalm 22:1-31 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?    Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,    and by night, but I find no rest. 3 Yet you are holy,    enthroned on the praises of Israel.4 In you our fathers trusted;    they trusted, and you delivered them.5 To you they cried and were rescued;    in you they trusted and were not put to shame. 6 But I am a worm and not a man,    scorned by mankind and despised by the…

Value System

Psalm 16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;    I have no good apart from you.” 3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,    in whom is all my delight. 4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;    their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out    or take their names on my lips. 5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;    you hold my lot.6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;    indeed,…

Bless the Lord, O My Soul

Psalm 103:1-22 Bless the Lord, O my soul,    and all that is within me,    bless his holy name!2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,    and forget not all his benefits,3 who forgives all your iniquity,    who heals all your diseases,4 who redeems your life from the pit,    who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,5 who satisfies you with good    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6 The Lord works righteousness    and justice for all who are oppressed.7 He made known his ways to Moses,    his acts to the people of Israel.8 The Lord is merciful and gracious,    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.9 He will not always chide,    nor…

The Rhythm of Worship

Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!2     Serve the Lord with gladness!    Come into his presence with singing! 3 Know that the Lord, he is God!    It is he who made us, and we are his;    we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving,    and his courts with praise!    Give thanks to him; bless his name! 5 For the Lord is good;    his steadfast love endures forever,    and his faithfulness to all generations.

Great Is The Lord

Psalm 145 A Song of Praise. Of David. I will extol you, my God and King,    and bless your name forever and ever.2 Every day I will bless you    and praise your name forever and ever.3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,    and his greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation shall commend your works to another,    and shall declare your mighty acts.5 On the glorious splendor of your majesty,    and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.6 They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,    and I will declare your…

Worthless Idols Wonderful Promises

Psalm 115 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,    for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! 2 Why should the nations say,    “Where is their God?”3 Our God is in the heavens;    he does all that he pleases. 4 Their idols are silver and gold,    the work of human hands.5 They have mouths, but do not speak;    eyes, but do not see.6 They have ears, but do not hear;    noses, but do not smell.7 They have hands, but do not feel;    feet, but do not…
