*This will be the last of my Quarantine series on the book of PSALMS. Psalm 50 (NLT) The Lord, the Mighty One, is God,and he has spoken;he has summoned all humanityfrom where the sun rises to where it sets.From Mount Zion, the perfection of beauty,God shines in glorious radiance.Our God approaches,and he is not silent.Fire […]
Psalm 49 (NLT) Listen to this, all you people!Pay attention, everyone in the world!High and low,rich and poor—listen!For my words are wise,and my thoughts are filled with insight.I listen carefully to many proverbsand solve riddles with inspiration from a harp.Why should I fear when trouble comes,when enemies surround me?They trust in their wealthand boast of […]
Psalm 48 (NLT) How great is the Lord,how deserving of praise,in the city of our God,which sits on his holy mountain!It is high and magnificent;the whole earth rejoices to see it!Mount Zion, the holy mountain,is the city of the great King!God himself is in Jerusalem’s towers,revealing himself as its defender.The kings of the earth joined […]
Psalm 47 (NLT) Come, everyone! Clap your hands!Shout to God with joyful praise!For the Lord Most High is awesome.He is the great King of all the earth.He subdues the nations before us,putting our enemies beneath our feet.He chose the Promised Land as our inheritance,the proud possession of Jacob’s descendants, whom he loves.

Psalm 43 (NLT) Declare me innocent, O God!Defend me against these ungodly people.Rescue me from these unjust liars.For you are God, my only safe haven.Why have you tossed me aside?Why must I wander around in grief,oppressed by my enemies?Send out your light and your truth;let them guide me.Let them lead me to your holy mountain,to […]
