Psalms 9-16 Variety, just like my life

June 15th, Psalms 9-16

The Highlights!!

       Psalm 9:1-2 
I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you;
    I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

Psalm 10:14

But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted;

    you consider their grief and take it in hand.

The victims commit themselves to you;

    you are the helper of the fatherless.

Psalm 11:7

For the Lord is righteous,
    he loves justice;     the upright will see his face.

Psalm 12:5-6

“Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan,

    I will now arise,” says the Lord.

    “I will protect them from those who malign them.”

6 

And the words of the Lord are flawless,

    like silver purified in a crucible,

    like gold[a] refined seven times.

Psalm 13 1-2, 5-6

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?
    How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
    and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
    How long will my enemy triumph over me?

But I trust in your unfailing love;
    my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing the Lord’s praise,
    for he has been good to me.

Psalm 14:1

The fool[a] says in his heart,  “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
    there is no one who does good.

Psalm 15:5b

"Whoever does these things will never be moved."

That's my attempt to get you to go read the list of things!!

Psalm 16:7-11

I will praise the Lord, who counsels me, even at night my heart instructs me.

    I keep my eyes always on the Lord With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,

    because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, 

        nor will you let your faithful[a] one see decay.

You make known to me the path of life,  you will fill me with joy in your presence,

        with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
