Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. 5 Who is like the Lord our God, who has his dwelling so high, and yet humbles himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth? 6 He takes up the lowly out of the dust, and lifts the poor out of the ashes, 7 That he may set them with the princes, even with the princes of his people. 8 He gives the barren woman a home to dwell in, and makes her to be a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord. PSALM 114 ~ 1 When Israel came out of Egypt, and the house of Jacob from among a people of a foreign tongue, ² Judah was God’s sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. ³ The sea beheld it and fled; Jordan was driven back. 4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like young sheep. 5 What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you were driven back? 6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams, and you little hills like young sheep? 7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, 8 Who turned the hard rock into a pool of water, and the flint stone into a springing well. NOON - Pausing to remember that God is in charge PSALM 119:25-48 ~ 25 My soul cleaves to the dust; O revive me, according to your word. 26 I have acknowledged my ways, and you heard me; O teach me your statutes. 27 Make me to understand the way of your commandments, and so shall I meditate on your wondrous works. 28 My soul melts away for heaviness; comfort me according to your word. 29 Take from me the way of lying, and graciously teach me your law. 30 I have chosen the way of truth, and your judgments have I set before me. 31 I hold fast to your testimonies; O Lord, let me not be put to shame. ³² I will run the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart with understanding. ³³ Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end. 34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; indeed, I shall keep it with my whole heart. 35 Make me go in the path of your commandments, for therein is my desire. 36 Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to covetous desires. 37 O turn away my eyes, lest they behold vanity, and revive me in your ways. 38 Confirm your word to your servant, and to all those who fear you. 39 Take away the reproach that I am afraid of, for your judgments are good. 40 Behold, my delight is in your precepts; O 82
evive me in your righteousness. 41 Let your loving mercy come to me, O Lord, even your salvation, according to your word. 42 So shall I answer those who taunt me, for my trust is in your word. 43 O do not take the word of your truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in your judgments. 44 So shall I always keep your law, even for ever and ever; 45 And I will walk at liberty, for I seek your commandments. 46 I will speak of your testimonies also, even before kings, and will not be ashamed; 47 And my delight shall be in your commandments, which I have loved exceedingly. 48 My hands also will I lift up to your commandments, and I will meditate on your statutes. EVENING - Placing all cares in God’s hands PSALM 83 ~ 1 Hold not your tongue, O God; keep not silent, but rouse yourself, O God. ² For behold, your enemies murmur, and those who hate you have lifted up their head. ³ They have conspired secretly against your people and taken counsel against your cherished ones. 4 They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out, that they may be no more a people, and that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” 5 For they have brought their heads together with one consent and are aligned against you: 6 The tents of the Edomites and the Ishmaelites, the Moabites and Hagarenes, 7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, the Philistines with those who dwell at Tyre. 8 Assyria also has joined with them, and has helped the children of Lot. 9 But do to them as you did to the Midianites, to Sisera and to Jabin at the brook of Kishon, 10 Who perished at Endor and became as dung on the earth. 11 Make their princes like Oreb and Zeëb; indeed, make all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 12 Who said, “Let us take for ourselves the pastures of God as our possession.” 13 O my God, make them like whirling dust and like stubble before the wind, 14 Like the fire that burns up the woods and like the flame that consumes the mountains. 15 Pursue them even with your tempest, and make them afraid with your storm. 16 Cover their faces with shame, O Lord, that they may seek your Name. 17 Let them be disgraced and dismayed ever more and more; let them be put to shame and perish. 18 And they shall know that you, whose Name is the Lord, are alone the Most High over all the earth. 83
