Bible Verse…Psalm 121

Psa 121
Psalm 121

A Song of degrees.

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,

from whence cometh my help.

2 My help cometh from the Lord,

which made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:

he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel

shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is thy keeper:

the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day,

nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:

he shall preserve thy soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in

from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Bible Verse

Psa 9
Psalm 9

To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.

1 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart;

I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee:

I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

3 When mine enemies are turned back,

they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;

thou satest in the throne judging right.

5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,

thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:

and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

7 But the Lord shall endure for ever:

he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness,

he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

a refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:

for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion:

declare among the people his doings.

12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:

he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord;

consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me,

thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

14 That I may shew forth all thy praise

in the gates of the daughter of Zion:

I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made:

in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

16 The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth:

the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

17 The wicked shall be turned into hell,

and all the nations that forget God.

18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten:

the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

19 Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail:

let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

20 Put them in fear, O Lord:

that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Bible Verse

Psa 1
Psalms

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the man

that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,

nor standeth in the way of sinners,

nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord;

and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,

that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;

his leaf also shall not wither;

and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so:

but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous:

but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
� KJV

 

Hunger Satisfied (Spurgeon’s Faith’s Checkbook)

From Charles Spurgeon’s “Faith’s Checkbook”
Hunger Satisfied
November 20
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. (Psalm 107:9)

It is well to have longings, and the more intense they are the better. The Lord will satisfy soul-longings, however great and all-absorbing they may be. Let us greatly long, for God will greatly give. We are never in a right state of mind when we are contented with ourselves and are free from longings. Desires for more grace and groanings which cannot be uttered are growing pains, and we should wish to feel them more and more. Blessed Spirit, make us sigh and cry after better things and for more of the best things!
Hunger is by no means a pleasant sensation. Yet blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness. Such persons shall not only have their hunger relieved with a little food, but they shall be filled. They shall not be filled with any sort of rough stuff, but their diet shall be worthy of their good Lord, for they shall be filled with goodness by Jehovah Himself.
Come, let us not fret because we long and hunger, but let us hear the voice of the psalmist as he also longs and hungers to see God magnified. “Oh, that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men.”
