Psalm3

Psalm 3

Lord, where did they all come from?  There are loads of them, all after me, trying to bring me down.  Saying '  ha!  His God cant help him!'   But they are wrong Lord because You are a shield around me.  You are the One who makes me glorious, who lifts up my head when I am weighed down with trouble.   I cried to the Lord, shouted out to Him and He heard me from His holy hill.  ( Just stop and think about that for a moment)

Despite the war that is raging around me and the people that are out to get me I was able to lie down and sleep peacefully because God kept His hand on me.  I dont need to be afraid - even if ten thousand people surround me baying for my blood.

Come on Lord!   Do something!  Rescue me.  You have already given my enemy a smack in the face.  You have rendered him powerless so that now his bark is worse than his bite.  Yes, you do save Lord - You are saving me, and what is more Your blessing rests upon me and upon all Your people  ( Jut stop for a minute and think about that too!)

Psalm 135

   Psalm 135 Praise the Lord.  Praise His name everyone.  All who stand in the house of the Lord and in the outer courts of His temple.  Praise Him because He is good.  SIng praise to Him simply because it is fun to do!  Because He has chosen us - we are His special treasure.  I know that God is fantastic, above all other gods.  He does whatever seems good to Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the deepest parts of the sea and high above the earth's atmosphere.  He makes the lightning in the rainstorms and lets the wind out of its hiding place. He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt, both men and animals because He was performing signs and wonders among you Egyptians.  Under Pharoh and Pharoah's followers he defeated many nations and slew mighty kings - Sihon King of the Amorites, Og King of Bashan and all the kingdoms of Canaan and He gave their lands to us for our inheritance Only Your name Lord will last forever.  Your repu...

147

  Psalm 147 It’s a good thing to sing praise to God. Its physically beneficial for you and it sounds beautiful too! This is why we sing : Because through praise God builds up His church. He gathers all those who are on the edges and brings them in. He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds. Let us praise Him because He is the One who can number the stars and calls each one by name. He is great, mighty, powerful and has limitless understanding. The Lord lifts up the humble and casts the wicked down to the ground. So sing to The Lord with thanks in your heart, use instruments to praise the God of the seasons and the weather, the rain and the sun. He makes crops grow and provides food for the animals and birds of the earth. He isn’t impressed by the things that impress us - the size of our cars or the physical prowess of the finely honed athlete. No, He is interested in those who respect and love Him, and in those who depend upon His kindness and mercy. So le...
