Who has a favorite Psalm?

[other one]

I don't remember if I've posted this, But Psalm 82 with the ESV version changed my general cosmology of what's going on in  the world.

Ps 82:1-83:1

82  God has taken his place in the divine council;in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:2 "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?Selah3  Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.4  Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
5  They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6  I said, "You are gods,sons of the Most High, all of you;7 nevertheless, like men you shall die,and fall like any prince."
8  Arise, O God, judge the earth;for you shall inherit all the nations!
O God, Do Not Keep Silence

A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.
ESV

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the one
    who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
    or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
    which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers.

4 Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff
    that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

@Ps37 Great Psalm; thr King James has 'the scornful' for 'mockers' there; similar idea.

Good to be exercised with a wholesome simplicity of spirit before the Lord. Cf. 2 Corinthians 11.3: "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."

Psalm 27

27 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold^[a] of my life;
    of whom shall I be afraid?

² When evildoers assail me
    to eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
    it is they who stumble and fall.

³ Though an army encamp against me,
    my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
    yet^[b] I will be confident.

⁴ One thing have I asked of the Lord,
    that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
    and to inquire^[c] in his temple.

⁵ For he will hide me in his shelter
    in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
    he will lift me high upon a rock.

⁶ And now my head shall be lifted up
    above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
    sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the Lord.

⁷ Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
    be gracious to me and answer me!
⁸ You have said, “Seek^[d] my face.”
My heart says to you,
    “Your face, Lord, do I seek.”^[e]
9     Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
    O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
    O God of my salvation!
¹⁰ For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
    but the Lord will take me in.

¹¹ Teach me your way, O Lord,
    and lead me on a level path
    because of my enemies.
¹² Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
    for false witnesses have risen against me,
    and they breathe out violence.

¹³ I believe that I shall look^[f] upon the goodness of the Lord
    in the land of the living!
¹⁴ Wait for the Lord;
    be strong, and let your heart take courage;
    wait for the Lord!

Hi @Nicole W. FYI.............thread re. favorite Psalms............

[Nicole W.]

Psalm 91 

Keith Green “The Lord is My Shepherd” 

I used to listen to this under my pillow being engulfed by the presence of God I was 18 years old..

 

[Know Jah]

Psalm 40:8 has always been my favorite psalm because my question is: How many times do you see the Gods law in that verse. 

Most will readily say one time because they actually see the word "law" however note that "the will" of God we can make that a law for us. We don't always have to see Gods law written or read it. We can know what the will of God is and make that a law for us.
