DAY ONE MORNING - Beginning the day with praise & thanksgiving PSALM 8 ~ 1 O Lord our Governor, how excellent is your Name in all the world; you have set your glory above the heavens! ² Out of the mouth of babes and infants you have ordained strength, because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger. ³ When I consider your heavens, even the works of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained, 4 What is man, that you are mindful of him, the son of man, that you visit him? 5 You made him little lower than the angels, to crown him with glory and honor. 6 You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands, and you have put all things in subjection under his feet: 7 All sheep and oxen, even the beasts of the field, 8 The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever walks through the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord our Governor, how excellent is your Name in all the world! NOON - Pausing to remember that God is in charge PSALM 1 ~ 1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of the scornful; ² But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law will he meditate day and night. ³ And he shall be like a tree planted by the waterside, that will bring forth his fruit in due season. 4 His leaf also shall not wither; and look, whatever he does, it shall prosper. 5 As for the ungodly, it is not so with them; but they are like the chaff, which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth. 6 Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgment, neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 7 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish. PSALM 2 ~ 1 Why do the nations so furiously rage together? And why do the peoples devise a vain thing? ² The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed: ³ “Let us break their bonds asunder and cast away their cords from us.” 4 He who dwells in heaven shall laugh them to scorn; 4
the LORD shall hold them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak to them in his wrath and terrify them in his great anger: 6 “I myself have set my King upon my holy hill of Zion.” 7 I will proclaim the decree of the Lord; he said to me, “You are my Son; this day have I begotten you. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the nations for your inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession. 9 You shall bruise them with a rod of iron and break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” 10 Be wise now, O you kings; be warned, you judges of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD in fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way; for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all those who put their trust in him. EVENING - Placing all cares in God’s hands PSALM 3 ~ 1 Lord, how they are increased who trouble me; many are those who rise against me. ² Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in his God.” ³ But you, O Lord, are my defender; you are my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. 4 I called upon the Lord with my voice, and he heard me from his holy hill. 5 I lay down and slept, and rose up again, for the Lord sustained me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about. 7 Rise up, O Lord, and help me, O my God; for you smite all my enemies on the cheek-bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly. 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord; may your blessing be upon your people. PSALM 4 ~ 1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness; you set me free when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. ² O you children of men, how long will you blaspheme my honor, and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after falsehood? ³ Know this also, that the Lord has chosen for himself the one that is godly; when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me. 4 Stand in awe, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. 5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness and put your trust in the Lord. 6 There are many that say, “Who will show us any good?” Lord, lift up the light of your countenance upon us. 7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when others’ grain and wine and oil increased. 8 I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest; for you, Lord, only, make me dwell in safety. 5
