His praise shall continually be in my mouth

I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear of it and be glad Oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to him and were radiant and their faces were not ashamed This poor man cried out and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles The angel of the Lord encamps around all around those who fear him and delivers them. Psalm 34: 1-7 Come you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is the man who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit Depart from evil and do good seek peace and pursue it. Psalm 34:11-14 His ears are open to their cry. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut o

Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people

Praise the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever. Who can utter the mighty doings of the LORD, or declare all his praise? Happy are those who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times. Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people; help me when you deliver them; that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory in your heritage. Both we and our ancestors have sinned; we have committed iniquity, have done wickedly. Psalm 106: 1-6 Yet he saved them for his name's sake, Our ancestors, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wonderful works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled against the Most High at the Red Sea. Yet he saved them for his name's sake, so that he might make known his mighty power. He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry; he led them through the deep as through a desert. Psalm 106: 7-9

Does not the potter have power over the clay?

Does not the potter have power over the clay? From the same lump to make one vessel for honour and one vessel for dishonour? What if God wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known endured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction. And that he might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy which he had prepared beforehand for glory. Even as whom he called; not of the Jews only but also of the Gentiles? As he says also in Hosea, I will call them my people who were not my people and her beloved who was not beloved. And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, “you are not my people,” there they shall be called sons of God. Romans 9; 21-27 Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel, Children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved For he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, for the Lord shall make a short work upon the earth.

O Most High, when I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

Be gracious to me, O God, for people trample on me; all day long foes oppress me; my enemies trample on me all day long, for much fight against me. O Most High, when I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid; what can flesh do to me? Psalm 56: 1-4 In wrath cast down the peoples, O God All day long they seek to injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil. They stir up strife, they lurk, they watch my steps. As they hoped to have my life, so repay them for their crime; in wrath cast down the peoples, O God! Psalm 56 : 5-7 Then my enemies will retreat You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your record? Then my enemies will retreat in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. Psalm 56 : 8-9 What can a mere mortal do to me? In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid. What can a mere mortal do to me? Psalm 56 : 10-11

Who honor those who fear the Lord

O LORD, who may abide in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy hill? Those who walk blamelessly, and do what is right, and speak the truth from their heart; who do not slander with their tongue, and do no evil to their friends, nor take up a reproach against their neighbors; in whose eyes the wicked are despised, but who honor those who fear the LORD; who stand by their oath even to their hurt; who do not lend money at interest, and do not take a bribe against the innocent. Those who do these things shall never be moved. Psalm 15:1-5 For they flatter themselves in their own eyes Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts; there is no fear of God before their eyes. For they flatter themselves in their own eyes that their iniquity cannot be found out and hated. The words of their mouths are mischief and deceit; they have ceased to act wisely and do good. They plot mischief while on their beds; they are set on a way that is not good; they do not reject evil. Psalm 36: 1-4 You

And the meditation of my heart will be understanding

. Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world, Both low and high, Rich and poor together. My mouth will speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart will be understanding. I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle on the harp. Why should I fear in days of adversity, When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me, Even those who trust in their wealth And boast in the abundance of their riches? Psalm 49:1-6 For the redemption of his soul is costly , No man can by any means redeem his brother Or give to God a ransom for him— For the redemption of his soul is costly, And he should cease trying forever— That he should live on eternally, That he should not undergo decay. For he sees that even wise men die; The stupid and the senseless alike perish And leave their wealth to others. Psalm 49: 7-10 He is like the beasts that perish. Their inner thought is that their houses are forever And their dwelling places to all generations; They have called their l

Who redeems your life from destruction

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities Psalm 103: 1-10 He has removed our transgressions For as the heavens are high above the earth So great are his mercy towards those who fear Him As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103: 11-12 He

May the mountains yield prosperity for the people

Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to a king's son. May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice. May the mountains yield prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness. May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the needy, and crush the oppressor. May he live while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations. May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth. In his days may righteousness flourish and peace abound, until the moon is no more. Psalm 72: 1-7 May his foes bow down before him, May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. May his foes bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust. May the kings of Tarshish and of the isles render him tribute, may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts. May all kings fall down before him, all nations give him service. Psalm 72: 8-11 He redeems the

You called in trouble and I delivered you,

Sing aloud to God our strength; make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob Raise a song and strike the timbrel, the pleasant harp and the lute Blow the trumpet at the time of the new moon on our solemn feast day For this is a statute for Israel, a law of the God of Jacob This He established in Joseph as a testimony when he went throughout the land of Egypt where I heard a language, I did not understand I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the Basket You called in trouble and I delivered you, I answered you in the secret place of thunder I tested you at the waters of Meribah, There shall be no foreign God among you or shall you; nor shall you worship any foreign god Psalm 81:1-9 Open your mouth wide and I will fill it I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. But my people will not heed my voice and Israel will have none of me. So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart to walk in their

Your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.

I will sing of your steadfast love, O LORD, a forever; with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations. I declare that your steadfast love is established forever; your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens. You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to my servant David: ‘I will establish your descendants forever, and build your throne for all generations.’ ” Selah Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones. Psalm 89: 1-5 You rule the raging of the sea For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD, a God feared in the council of the holy ones, great and awesome above all that are around him? O LORD God of hosts, who is as mighty as you, O LORD? Your faithfulness surrounds you. You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them. Psalm 89: 6-9 Happy are the people, who know the festal shout, Righteousness and justice are the f

Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?

The earth is the Lord’s and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart Who has not lifted his soul to an idol Nor sworn deceitfully He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face Lift up your heads O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors And the King of Glory shall come in Who is this King of Glory?

The Lord is on my side I will not fear,

The Lord is on my side I will not fear, What can man do tome The Lord is for me among those who help me Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Man.

But let each examine his own work

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of genteelness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself But let each examine his own work and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone and not in another. Galatians 6: 1-4 God is not mocked, Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the spirit will of the spirit reap everlasting life. Galatians 6:6-8 We will reap in due season And let us not grow weary of doing well for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore as we have opportunity, let us do well to all especially those who of the household of faith.
