Psalm 31: 21-22 "he hath magnified his wondrous love to me within a city fortified." Tune: St. David PSALM 31 C.M. 1 In thee, O LORD, I put my trust, shamed let me never be; According to thy righteousness do thou deliver me. 2 Bow down thine ear to me, with speed send me deliverance: To save me, my strong rock be thou, and my house of defence. 3 Because thou art my rock, and thee I for my fortress take; Therefore do thou me lead and guide, ev’n for thine own name’s sake. 4 And sith thou art my strength, therefore pull me out of the net, Which they in subtlety for me so privily have set. 5 Into thine hands I do commit my spirit: for thou art he, O thou, JEHOVAH, God of truth, that hast redeemèd me. 6 Those that do lying vanities regard, I have abhorred: But as for me, my confidence is fixèd on the LORD. 7 I’ll in thy mercy gladly joy: for thou my miseries Considered hast; thou hast my soul known in adversities: 8 And thou hast not inclosèd me within the en’my’s hand; And by thee have my feet been made in a large room to stand. 9 O LORD, upon me mercy have, for trouble is on me: Mine eye, my belly, and my soul, with grief consumèd be. 10 Because my life with grief is spent, my years with sighs and groans: My strength doth fail; and for my sin consumèd are my bones. 11 I was a scorn to all my foes, and to my friends a fear; And specially reproached of those that were my neighbours near: When they me saw they from me fled. 12 Ev’n so I am forgot, As men are out of mind when dead: I’m like a broken pot. 13 For slanders I of many heard; fear compassed me, while they Against me did consult, and plot to take my life away. 14 But as for me, O LORD, my trust upon thee I did lay; And I to thee, Thou art my God, did confidently say. 15 My times are wholly in thine hand: do thou deliver me From their hands that mine enemies and persecutors be. 16 Thy countenance to shine do thou upon thy servant make: Unto me give salvätion, for thy great mercies’ sake. 17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD, for on thee called I have: Let wicked men be shamed, let them be silent in the grave. 18 To silence put the lying lips, that grievous things do say, And hard reports, in pride and scorn, on righteous men do lay. 19 How great’s the goodness thou for them that fear thee keep’st in store, And wrought’st for them that trust in thee the sons of men before! 20 In secret of thy presence thou shalt hide them from man’s pride: From strife of tongues thou closely shalt, as in a tent, them hide. 21 All praise and thanks be to the LORD; for he hath magnified His wondrous love to me within a city fortified. 22 For from thine eyes cut off I am, I in my haste had said; My voice yet heard’st thou, when to thee with cries my moan I made. 23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints; because the LORD doth guard The faithful, and he plenteously proud doers doth reward. 24 Be of good courage, and he strength unto your heart shall send, All ye whose hope and confidence doth on the LORD depend. #shorts #psalms #psalm31 #bible #dailyverse #singpsalms #bible #stdavid #scripture

They are more like visual cross-references. PSALM 31 L.M. 1 In you I’ve taken refuge, LORD; You are my shelter in distress. O let me never be ashamed, But save me in your righteousness. 2 LORD, turn your ear to hear my cry; Come quickly to deliver me, And be my rock and firm defence, My stronghold and security. 3 You are my fortress and my rock; For your name’s sake be my sure guide. 4 Preserve me from the trap that’s set; You are the refuge where I hide. 5 Redeem me, LORD, O God of truth; My spirit I commit to you. 6 I hate all those who trust false gods; I trust the LORD, for he is true. 7 I will rejoice and take delight In all the love that you have shown, For my affliction you have seen; To you my soul’s distress is known. 8 You have not left me to my foe Or given me into his hand; But you have set my feet within A spacious place where I may stand. 9 Be merciful to me, O LORD, For my distress knows no relief; My eyes grow weak with sorrow’s tears, My soul and body with my grief. 10 My life in anguish is consumed; My years pass by with many groans. Through misery my strength has failed, And greatly weakened are my bones. 11 Because of all my enemies My neighbours treat me scornfully; I’m viewed with dread by all my friends— They see me coming and they flee. 12 I am forgotten as though dead, Not even spared a passing thought; I’m like a jar that’s cast away, A useless, broken, shattered pot. 13 I hear the slander many spread, And terror stalks me all the way. Against me enemies conspire; They plot to take my life away. 14 But as for me, I trust you, LORD; I say, “You are my God alone.” 15 My times are ever in your hands; Save me from foes who hunt me down. 16 Upon your servant shine your face; Save me in your unfailing love. 17 LORD, let me not be put to shame, For I have cried to God above. But let the wicked suffer shame And silent in the grave abide. 18 Suppress the lying lips which speak Against the just with haughty pride. 19 Your goodness, LORD, is very great— Prepared for those who fear your name. You show your goodness openly To all who your protection claim. 20 Your presence hides and shelters them From those who plot to take their life, And in your tent you keep them safe From evil tongues that stir up strife. 21 The LORD be praised because he showed The wonder of his love to me, When in a city I was trapped, Surrounded by the enemy. 22 In my alarm I rashly said That I was hidden from your eyes; But when I called to you for help, In grace you listened to my cries. 23 O love the LORD, all you his saints! The faithful will be kept by God, But he will give the proud their due. 24 Be strong, take heart; hope in the LORD. #shorts #psalms #psalm31 #bible #dailyverse #singpsalms #job #kingdavid #maryton

Sing Psalms Psalm 30: 10 Tune: Westminster "Hear as I cry, O LORD my God, and listen to my plea." Crow Road Free Church The title has "A psalm. A song. For the dedication of a house. Of David." PSALM 30 C.M. 1 O LORD, I will exalt your name for you have rescued me; You did not let my foes rejoice and gloat triumphantly. 2 LORD God, in need I cried to you and you restored my health. 3 O LORD, you brought me from the grave and saved my soul from death. 4 You holy ones, sing to the LORD; sing out with joyful voice. When you recall his holy name, then praise him and rejoice. 5 His anger but a moment lasts; life-long his favour stays. Though tears may last throughout the night, joy comes with morning’s rays. 6 “I never shall be moved,” I said in my prosperity. 7 You made my mountain firm and strong when you, LORD, favoured me. But when you hid your face from me my heart was terrified. 8 To you, O LORD, I called aloud; for mercy, Lord, I cried. 9 What gain will my destruction bring if I descend to death? Will dust proclaim your faithfulness or praise you with its breath? 10 Hear as I cry, O LORD my God, and listen to my plea. Come to my aid in my distress; have mercy, LORD, on me. 11 You turned my wailing into dance; no longer was I sad. My sackcloth gone, you gave me clothes of joy, and I was glad. 12 Therefore my heart will sing to you and never cease to praise; To your great name, O LORD my God, I will give thanks always. #shorts #psalms #psalm30 #bible #dailyverse #singpsalms #prayer

Above all the waters God’s thunder is heard; 4 A powèrful voice is the voice of the LORD. The voice of the LORD is majestic and loud; 5 By the voice of the LORD the great cedars are bowed. Yes, even the cedars of Lebanon tall, The LORD breaks in pieces and shatters them all. 6 Like the leap of a calf he shakes Lebanon’s rocks, And Sirion skips like a startled wild ox. 7 The voice of the LORD causes lightning to flash; 8 The voice of the LORD makes the wilderness crash. The LORD makes the desert of Kadesh to shake; 9 The LORD causes oaks of the forest to quake. The trees of the forest he strips of their leaves, And he in his temple great glory receives. 10 The LORD over floods sits as monarch alone; The LORD sits for ever as King on his throne. 11 The LORD makes the strength of his people increase; The LORD gives his people the blessing of peace. #psalms #psalm29 #bible #dailyverse #singpsalms #torah

Him shall he teach the way that he shall choose, and still observe. 13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his posterity Shall flourish still, and of the earth inheritors shall be. 14 With those that fear him is the secret of the LORD; The knowledge of his covènant he will to them afford. 15 Mine eyes upon the LORD continually are set; For he it is that shall bring forth my feet out of the net. 16 Turn unto me thy face, and to me mercy show; Because that I am desolate, and am brought very low. 17 My heart’s griefs are increased: me from distress relieve. 18 See mine affliction and my pain, and all my sins forgive. 19 Consider thou my foes, because they many are; And it a cruel hatred is which they against me bear. 20 O do thou keep my soul, do thou deliver me: And let me never be ashamed, because I trust in thee. 21 Let uprightness and truth keep me, who thee attend. 22 Redemption, Lord, to Israel from all his troubles send. #psalms #psalm25 #bible #dailyverse #scottishpsalter

He from his temple heard my voice; He listened to the prayer I made. 7 The earth before God’s anger quaked; The mountains’ deep foundations shook. 8 Consuming fire blazed from his mouth, And from his nostrils came forth smoke. 9 The heavens parted, he came down; Beneath his feet the dark clouds lay. 10 Upon the cherubim he flew; On wings of wind he made his way. 11 He made the dark his canopy, Dark rain clouds swirling in the sky. 12 From brightness of his presence came Clouds, hail and lightning from on high. 13 The LORD Most High sent forth his voice; His thunder from the heavens pealed. 14 His arrows scattered all his foes; His lightning drove them from the field. 15 The valleys of the sea lay bare And earth’s foundations deep and vast, When your rebuke went forth, O LORD— The power of your nostrils’ blast. 16 From heav’n he reached to grasp my hand And lift me as the waters rose; 17 He saved me from my enemy, From all my overpowering foes. 18 They threatened me in my distress, But God stood by me in my plight. 19 He brought me out and set me free, Because in me he took delight. 20 According to my righteousness The LORD dealt with me faithfully; Because my hands were clean from sin, The LORD my God rewarded me. 21 For I have kept the ways of God; From him I have not turned away. 22 I have not strayed from his decrees; His statutes ever with me stay. 23 Before the LORD I’ve kept myself From blame and all transgression free. 24 Since in his sight my hands were clean, The LORD my God rewarded me. 25 With faithful people you keep faith, And to the blameless you are good. 26 With pure men you yourself are pure, But with the crooked you are shrewd. 27 You save the humble and the meek, But bring the proud down from their height. 28 You, LORD, will keep my lamp aflame; God turns my darkness into light. 29 With help from God I can advance Against a troop and rout them all, And with the aid my God will give I can leap over any wall. 30 For perfect is the way of God; No flaw is found within his word. To all who put their trust in him A shield and refuge is the LORD. 31 For who is God except the LORD? Besides our God, who is the Rock? 32 He is the God who gives me strength, And he perfects the path I walk. 33 He makes my feet like feet of deer; Upon the heights he makes me stand. 34 My arms can bend a bow of bronze; In skills of war he trains my hand. 35 Your right hand gives me victory; You stoop down low to make me great. 36 So that my footsteps do not trip You smooth the pathway for my feet. 37 I chased and overtook my foes; I did not turn till they were slain. 38 I crushed them all beneath my feet; They fell and could not rise again. 39 With strength you armed me for the fight; My foes you humbled at my feet. 40 You made them turn their backs in flight; And their destruction was complete. 41 They cried for help, but none could save; They cried to God—no answer came. 42 I beat them fine as wind-borne dust; Like wayside dirt I scattered them. 43 You set me over many lands; You saved me from my enemy. A people whom I did not know Are in subjection now to me. 44 The moment that they hear my voice They cringe before me and obey. 45 In fear they tremble and lose heart; They leave their strongholds in dismay. 46 The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! My Saviour God exalted be! 47 He has avenged me, and subdued Rebellious peoples under me. 48 You saved me from my enemies, Exalting me above my foes; You rescued me from violent men Who sought my kingdom to oppose. 49 Therefore among the nations, LORD, Your praise in song I will proclaim; Before the peoples of the world I’ll sing the glory of your name. 50 You give your king great victories; Your loving-kindness you will pour On David, your anointed one, And his descendants evermore. #shorts #psalms #psalm18 #dailyverse #bible #singpsalms

But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent, because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.” Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.” Thus Paul went out from among them. PSALM 9 (b) 11 11 11 11 1 Wholehearted thanksgiving to you I will bring; In praise of your marvellous works I will sing. 2 For joy I will shout and exultantly cry In praise of your glorious name, O Most High. 3 My enemies turn in disorderly flight; They stumble and perish in face of your might. 4 For you have defended my right and my cause; You sat in just judgment, upholding your laws. 5 You threatened the nations, the wicked destroyed; Their names you erased and for ever made void. 6 My foes are disgraced and completely undone, Their cities uprooted, their memory gone. 7 The LORD sits for ever as king on his throne; His rule is established for justice alone. 8 He judges the world and he does what is right; He governs the nations with justice and might. 9 The LORD is a stronghold in times of distress, A refuge for those whom the wicked oppress. 10 Your people who know you will trust in your grace; You’ve never forsaken those seeking your face. 11 Praise God, who in Zion has founded his throne; Proclaim to the nations the deeds he has done. 12 The cry of afflicted ones rings in his ear; Their blood he avenges, their plea he will hear. 13 LORD, see what I suffer from malice and hate! Have pity, and lift me away from death’s gate, 14 That I in Jerusalem’s gates may proclaim Your mercy, and sing to the praise of your name. 15 The nations are sunk in the pit they prepared; Their feet in the net which they hid are ensnared. 16 The LORD by his justice has made himself known; And by their own works are the wicked cast down. 17 The wicked return to the grave’s dark abode, All nations and those who are heedless of God. 18 But God will remember the cause of the weak; He will not let perish the hope of the meek. 19 Arise, O my God! Let not man win the day; Let nations be judged in your presence, I pray. 20 O LORD, strike the nations; put fear in their breast To teach them that they are but human at best. #shorts #psalms #psalm9 #bible #dailyverse #singpsalms #bible #singpsalms

You blotted out the heathen’s name— for ever made it void. 6 The enemy have met their doom, destroyed eternally. You have uprooted all their towns; they’re lost to memory. 7 The LORD for ever reigns on high; his throne for judgment stands. 8 He’ll judge the world in righteousness, with justice rule the lands. 9 The LORD will be a hiding place for those who are oppressed, And he will be a strong defence for those who are distressed. 10 All those who know your name, O LORD, in you their trust will place, For you do not abandon those who seek your gracious face. 11 Sing praises to the LORD who sits in Zion on his throne; Among the nations of the world proclaim what he has done. 12 For he, the avenger of man’s blood, remembers evermore; The cry of the afflicted one he never will ignore. 13 O LORD, see how my enemies are persecuting me. Have mercy! From the gates of death lift me and set me free, 14 So that in Zion’s city gates your praise I may declare, And that I may exult with joy in your salvation there. 15 The nations all have fallen down into the pit they made; Their feet are tangled in the net which they themselves have laid. 16 The LORD is known by righteous acts; his justice always stands. The wicked are ensnared in traps, the work of their own hands. 17 The wicked will return to where the dead have their abode, Where all the heathen nations go that have forgotten God. 18 The needy will not be ignored, forgotten all their days; The hopes and longings of the poor will not be crushed always. 19 Arise, LORD! Let not man prevail; judge nations from your throne. 20 That they may know how frail they are, with fear, LORD, strike them down. #psalms #psalm9 #bible #dailyverse #singpsalms #martyrs

To him who gives instruction does knowledge not belong? 11 All human thoughts are futile; to you, LORD, they are known. 12 You bless those with correction to whom your law is shown. 13 In troubled times you grant them relief from their distress, Until a pit is opened to punish wickedness. 14 The LORD will not abandon the folk who are his own; His heritage, his chosen, he never will disown. 15 For justice will be founded once more on righteousness, And all right-hearted people approval will express. 16 Who will arise to help me against the wicked one? Who will stand up to aid me when other help has gone? 17 Unless the LORD had helped me, I’d soon have passed away To dwell in death’s dark silence far from the light of day. 18 When I said, “LORD, I’m slipping,” your love came to my aid; 19 Your help gave joy and comfort when I was so afraid. 20 Can God accept a tyrant who issues harsh decrees, And brings upon his subjects oppressive miseries? 21 Against the righteous people the evildoers plot; To execute the guiltless, such is their wicked thought. 22 But as for me, my refuge is in the LORD Most High; God has become my fortress and on him I rely. 23 God will repay the wicked the evil they have done; The LORD our God will surely destroy them every one.
