Behold the power of God in the Psalms!

 

The future proves the past.

 

Psalm 63:

 

Comfort and Assurance in God’s Presence

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.

 

63 O God, thou art my God, I seek thee,

my soul thirsts for thee;

my flesh faints for thee,

as in a dry and weary land where no water is.

2 So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary,

beholding thy power and glory.

3 Because thy steadfast love is better than life,

my lips will praise thee.

4 So I will bless thee as long as I live;

I will lift up my hands and call on thy name.

 

5 My soul is feasted as with marrow and fat,

and my mouth praises thee with joyful lips,

6 when I think of thee upon my bed,

and meditate on thee in the watches of the night;

7 for thou hast been my help,

and in the shadow of thy wings I sing for joy.

8 My soul clings to thee;

thy right hand upholds me.

 

9 But those who seek to destroy my life

shall go down into the depths of the earth;

10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword,

they shall be prey for jackals.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God;

all who swear by him shall glory;

for the mouths of liars will be stopped.

Behold the power of God in the Psalms!

 

The future proves the past.

 

Psalm 64:

 

Prayer for Protection from Enemies

A Psalm of David.

 

64 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;

preserve my life from dread of the enemy,

2 hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,

from the scheming of evildoers,

3 who whet their tongues like swords,

who aim bitter words like arrows,

4 shooting from ambush at the blameless,

shooting at him suddenly and without fear.

5 They hold fast to their evil purpose;

they talk of laying snares secretly,

thinking, “Who can see us?

6 Who can search out our crimes?

We have thought out a cunningly conceived plot.”

For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep!

 

7 But God will shoot his arrow at them;

they will be wounded suddenly.

8 Because of their tongue he will bring them to ruin;

all who see them will wag their heads.

9 Then all men will fear;

they will tell what God has wrought,

and ponder what he has done.

 

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord,

and take refuge in him!

Let all the upright in heart glory!
