@Mary8 Such a wealth of wisdom in the Psalms............

Psalm 86:

1 Bow down Your ear, O Lord, hear me;
For I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my life, for I am holy;
You are my God;
Save Your servant who trusts in You!
3 Be merciful to me, O Lord,
For I cry to You all day long.
4 Rejoice the soul of Your servant,
For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
5 For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.

6 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For You will answer me.

8 Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord;
Nor are there any works like Your works.
9 All nations whom You have made
Shall come and worship before You, O Lord,
And shall glorify Your name.
10 For You are great, and do wondrous things;
You alone are God.

11 Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.
12 I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
And I will glorify Your name forevermore.
13 For great is Your mercy toward me,
And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

14 O God, the proud have risen against me,
And a mob of violent men have sought my life,
And have not set You before them.
15 But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious,
Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

16 Oh, turn to me, and have mercy on me!
Give Your strength to Your servant,
And save the son of Your maidservant.
17 Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

Hmm, I have a few... I'll come back to update. Thanks, @farouk.

@LoveJoyHope-lady When you're ready, do let us know............ :)

Good to post Scriptures; I find it helpful and so do others, I'm sure........

[farouk]

Psalm 2.12: "Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him."

[farouk]

Psalm 27.1:

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"

[glff]

Ps 22: 3:

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

And:

Ps 138: 2:

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Thanks, @glff.

Similarly, Psalm 2.6:

"Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion."

@farouk Hey, I remember one strange fave: Ps. 103... He remembers that we are dust.

For some reason, that really stuck out to me during mid-2020. I recall telling my Life Group (Sun. School) teacher that verse during our Covid-induced Zoom class one day). But, I think it resonated with me for years of personal frustration, grief, hardship, etc. That God remembers that we are dust is so poetic... kind of Ecclesiastes-esque because it has that sands-of-time quality. The grass withers, flowers fade... we are but a breath.

-

But, God. He remembers us!

That Love thinks of us, and our weak and frail nature, and does not get impatient with us for that is so heartbreakingly tender.
