A psalm of David. 1 Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty.I don’t concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp.2 Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk. Yes, like a

How Long?
Psalm 13 For the choir director: A psalm of David. 1 O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way?2 How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day?

Breath Is a Reminder to Praise
Psalm 150:6 “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.” This is the last verse in the mighty book of Psalms. Let me ask you a question: Do you breathe? If so, you should praise His name. Do you want to know how to please the Lord? Psalm 147:11 says, “The Lord delights in
