What is your favorite psalm ?

[Wayne222]

   I like many of course. Always have to go to ps 23. To me i connect Jesus to ps 23. The lord is my shepherd i shall not want. Jesus is the good shepherd of the flock. He restores our soul. Everything in ps 23 Jesus does for us. We should not fear for Jesus is our shepherd. He will protect us. 

                         What other psalms uplift us ?

[Whyme]

I love 23. I love psalm 1 too. And the psalms where daivid taught me to wait on the lord. I need to wait a lot. The lord restores my soul.

[Unit 11]

The 23rd is my favorite as well. Other helpful ones are 62 (my soul waits for God alone), 146 (God is trustworthy, man not so much), Psalm 25 and 6 for when I'm down. And sometimes, when I've crashed and burned, 51.

Psalm 27

5 For in the day of trouble
    he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
    and set me high upon a rock.

[Alive]

Psa. 27:1 (NAS20S)    The LORD is my light and my salvation;   Whom should I fear?   The LORD is the   defense of my life;    Whom should I dread?

²  When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,   My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

³  If an army encamps against me,   My heart will not fear;   If war arises against me,   In spite of this I am confident.

 

Psa. 27:4 (NAS20S)    One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek:   That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,   To behold the beauty of the LORD   And to   meditate in His temple.

⁵  For on the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle;   He will hide me in the secret place of His tent;   He will lift me up on a rock.

⁶  And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,   And I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy;   I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

 

Psa. 27:7 (NAS20S)    Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice,   And be gracious to me and answer me.

⁸  When You said, “ Seek My face,” my heart said to You,   “ I shall seek Your face, LORD.”

⁹ Do not hide Your face from me,   Do not turn Your servant away in anger;   You have been my help;    Do not abandon me nor forsake me,   God of my salvation!

¹⁰ For my father and my mother have forsaken me,   But the LORD will take me up.

 

Psa. 27:11 (NAS20S)    Teach me Your way, LORD,   And lead me on a level path   Because of my enemies.

¹²  Do not turn me over to the   desire of my enemies,   For false witnesses have risen against me,   And the violent witness.

¹³  I certainly believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD   In the land of the living.

¹⁴ Wait for the LORD;   Be strong and let your heart take courage;   Yes, wait for the LORD.

I love Psalm 139.  It’s so awesome that our Father knows each one of us intimately.  I love it so much, I actually wrote a song about it!  I think I’ll dust off my Martin and go sing it right now!  Awesome thread, Wayne!  The LORD loves us so much!  

Psalm 139

 

1 

O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.

2 

You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 

You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

4 

Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. 

5 

You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.

6 

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 

7 

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

8 

If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, ^[1] you are there.

9 

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 

even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 

11 

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"

12 

even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. 

13 

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

15 

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 

your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. 

17 

How precious to ^[2] me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

18 

Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. 

19 

If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

20 

They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.

21 

Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?

22 

I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies. 

23 

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 

See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

I love ps 139 too SONshine. It such comfort to know the lord knows us so deeply. We cannot ever think he is not interested in us. Praise God for his loving kindness !

Psalm 139

[Marathoner]

Psalm 149 is my favorite. Our inheritance in Christ.

Praise the LORD!

Sing to the LORD a new song,
And His praise in the assembly of saints.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Let them praise His name with the dance;
Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.
For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the humble with salvation.

Let the saints be joyful in glory;
Let them sing aloud on their beds.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand,
To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;
To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
To execute on them the written judgment—
This honor have all His saints.

Praise the LORD!
