PSALM 71 "GOD the ROCK of SALVATION" recorded for your spiritual enrichment by vanderKOK

"In You, O LORD, I put my trust;Let me never be put to shame. 2 Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape;Incline Your ear to me, and save me. 3 Be my strong refuge,To which I may resort continually;You have given the commandment to save me,For You are my rock and my fortress. 4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD;You are my trust from my youth. 6 By You I have been upheld from birth;You are He who took me out of my mother's womb.My praise shall be continually of You. 7 I have become as a wonder to many,But You are my strong refuge. 8 Let my mouth be filled with Your praise And with Your glory all the day. 9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;Do not forsake me when my strength fails. 10 For my enemies speak against me;And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together, 11 Saying, "God has forsaken him;Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him." 12 O God, do not be far from me;O my God, make haste to help me! 13 Let them be confounded and consumed Who are adversaries of my life;Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor Who seek my hurt. 14 But I will hope continually,And will praise You yet more and more. 15 My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And Your salvation all the day,For I do not know their limits. 16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD;I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. 17 O God, You have taught me from my youth;And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. 18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded,O God, do not forsake me,Until I declare Your strength to this generation,Your power to everyone who is to come. 19 Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high,You who have done great things;O God, who is like You? 20 You, who have shown me great and severe troubles,Shall revive me again,And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 21 You shall increase my greatness,And comfort me on every side. 22 Also with the lute I will praise You — And Your faithfulness, O my God!To You I will sing with the harp,O Holy One of Israel. 23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You,And my soul, which You have redeemed. 24 My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long;For they are confounded,For they are brought to shame Who seek my hurt. NKJV

PSALM 53 "FOLLY of the GODLESS & the RESTORATION of ISRAEL" recorded for your spiritual enrichment by vanderKOK

  "The fool has said in his heart,"There is no God."They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity;There is none who does good. 2 God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. 3 Every one of them has turned aside;They have together become corrupt;There is none who does good,No, not one. 4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,Who eat up my people as they eat bread,And do not call upon God? 5 There they are in great fear Where no fear was,For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you;You have put them to shame,Because God has despised them. 6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!When God brings back the captivity of His people,Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad. NKJV

PSALM 38 "PRAYER in TIME of CHASTENING" recorded for your spiritual enrichment by vanderKOK

  "O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your wrath,Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure! 2 For Your arrows pierce me deeply,And Your hand presses me down. 3 There is no soundness in my flesh Because of Your anger,Nor any health in my bones Because of my sin. 4 For my iniquities have gone over my head;Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5 My wounds are foul and festering Because of my foolishness. 6 I am troubled, I am bowed down greatly;I go mourning all the day long. 7 For my loins are full of inflammation,And there is no soundness in my flesh. 8 I am feeble and severely broken;I groan because of the turmoil of my heart. 9 Lord, all my desire is before You;And my sighing is not hidden from You. 10 My heart pants, my strength fails me;As for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me. 11 My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague,And my relatives stand afar off. 12 Those also who seek my life lay snares for me;Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction,And plan deception all the day long. 13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;And I am like a mute who does not open his mouth. 14 Thus I am like a man who does not hear,And in whose mouth is no response. 15 For in You, O LORD, I hope;You will hear, O Lord my God. 16 For I said, "Hear me, lest they rejoice over me,Lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me." 17 For I am ready to fall,And my sorrow is continually before me. 18 For I will declare my iniquity;I will be in anguish over my sin. 19 But my enemies are vigorous, and they are strong;And those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied. 20 Those also who render evil for good,They are my adversaries, because I follow what is good. 21 Do not forsake me, O LORD;O my God, be not far from me! 22 Make haste to help me,O Lord, my salvation!
