Psalm 77

Your ways, God, are holy.
    What god is as great as our God?
You are the God who performs miracles;
    you display your power among the peoples.
With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
    the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
   The waters saw you, God,
the waters saw you and writhed;
the very depths were convulsed.
The clouds poured down water,
the heavens resounded with thunder;
your arrows flashed back and forth.
Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,
your lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.
Your path led through the sea,
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.

You led your people like a flock
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
(Psalm 77:13-20, NIV) *

I Will Remember the Deeds of the LORD

I will praise the LORD!Psalm 37_18-20 -365

Psalm 77

For the director of music. For Jeduthun.
Of Asaph. A psalm.

I cried out to God for help;
    I cried out to God to hear me.
When I was in distress, I sought the LORD;
    at night I stretched out untiring hands,
    and I would not be comforted.
I remembered you, God, and I groaned;
    I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.
You kept my eyes from closing;
    I was too troubled to speak.
I thought about the former days,
    the years of long ago;
I remembered my songs in the night.
    My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
“Will the LORD reject forever?
    Will he never show his favor again?
Has his unfailing love vanished forever?
    Has his promise failed for all time?
Has God forgotten to be merciful?
    Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”

Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
    the years when the Most High stretched out
his right hand.
I will remember the deeds of the LORD;
    yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
I will consider all your works
    and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
(Psalm 77:1-12, NIV) *

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.Psalm 73_26 sky

Reading: Psalm 73:21-28

LORD God,
 I want to have your perspective.
I want to see as you see.
Set my thoughts on the right path.
Remind me to take time to be with you.
“But as for me,
it is good to be near God” (Psalm 73:28).
Amen.

— — —

Submit yourselves, then, to God.
Resist the devil,
and he will flee from you.
Come near to God
and he will come near to you.
Wash your hands, you sinners,
and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Grieve, mourn and wail.
Change your laughter to mourning
and your joy to gloom.
Humble yourselves before the Lord,
and he will lift you up.
(James 4:7-10)*

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.Psalm 73_12-20 -365a

Reading: Psalm 73:12-20

LORD God,
bring me to your sanctuary.
Help me to enter into communion with you.
Help me discern what is of real value
in a world filled with idols and shams.
Give me your understanding.
Amen.

— — —

When the servant of the man of God got up
and went out early the next morning,
an army with horses and chariots
had surrounded the city.
“Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?”
the servant asked.

“Don’t be afraid,”
the prophet answered.
“Those who are with us
are more than those who are with them.”

And Elisha prayed,
“Open his eyes, LORD, so that he may see.”
Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes,
and he looked and saw the hills full of horses
and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
(2 Kings 6:15-17)*

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.Psalm 73a -365 accountable

Reading: Psalm 73:1-11

LORD God,
help me to tend to the garden of my own heart.
When envy raises its head,
help me to decapitate that thought.
I fix my affections on you
and not the things of this world.
Amen.

— — —

And he [Jesus] told them this parable:
“The ground of a certain rich man
yielded an abundant harvest.
He thought to himself,
‘What shall I do?
I have no place to store my crops.’

“Then he said,
‘This is what I’ll do.
I will tear down my barns
and build bigger ones,
and there I will store my surplus grain.
And I’ll say to myself,
“You have plenty of grain laid up for many years.
Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’

“But God said to him,
‘You fool! This very night
your life will be demanded from you.
Then who will get
what you have prepared for yourself?’

“This is how it will be
with whoever stores up things for themselves
but is not rich toward God.”
(Luke 12:16-21)*

“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.Psalm 72_12-20 -365

Reading: Psalm 72:12-20

LORD God,
help me to see my many blessings
as gifts from you.
Show me today
how I can be a blessing to others.
You are my source of life and every blessing.
Lord Jesus,
give me a generous spirit like you have.
Amen.

— — —

Bless those who persecute you; 
bless and do not curse.
Rejoice with those who rejoice;
mourn with those who mourn.
Live in harmony with one another.
Do not be proud,
but be willing to associate with people
of low position. 
Do not be conceited.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. 
Be careful to do what is right
in the eyes of everyone.
If it is possible,
as far as it depends on you,
live at peace with everyone.

Psalm 76

For the director of music. With stringed instruments.
A psalm of Asaph. A song.

God is renowned in Judah;
    in Israel his name is great.
His tent is in Salem,
    his dwelling place in Zion.
There he broke the flashing arrows,
    the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.

You are radiant with light,
    more majestic than mountains rich with game.
The valiant lie plundered,
    they sleep their last sleep;
not one of the warriors
    can lift his hands.
At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
    both horse and chariot lie still.

It is you alone who are to be feared.
    Who can stand before you when you are angry?
From heaven you pronounced judgment,
    and the land feared and was quiet—
when you, God, rose up to judge,
    to save all the afflicted of the land.
Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise,
    and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.

Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them;
let all the neighboring lands
bring gifts to the One to be feared.
He breaks the spirit of rulers;
he is feared by the kings of the earth.
(Psalm 76, NIV) *

 We Praise You for Your NAME Is Near

I will praise the LORD!

Psalm 98 Salvation arrives with our surrender

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.”
A psalm of Asaph. A song.

We praise you, God,
    we praise you, for your Name is near;
    people tell of your wonderful deeds.
You say, “I choose the appointed time;
    it is I who judge with equity.
When the earth and all its people quake,
    it is I who hold its pillars firm.
To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more,’
    and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.
Do not lift your horns against heaven;
    do not speak so defiantly.’”

No one from the east or the west
    or from the desert can exalt themselves.
It is God who judges:
    He brings one down, he exalts another.
In the hand of the LORD is a cup
    full of foaming wine mixed with spices;
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
    drink it down to its very dregs.
As for me, I will declare this forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,
who says, “I will cut off the horns of all the wicked,
but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
(Psalm 75, NIV) *
