How rich they are. Here is a brief look at Psalms 24-39 – just a few thoughts. Psalm 23 stands alone and I have written much and received so much at YWAM on the study of Psalm 23.
It is important to God that we do not worship idols nor tell lies. The answer to the question, who is the King of Glory, is The Lord, strong and mighty; the Lord, invincible in battle…O Lord, I give my life to you. (Please make it worth it)…You do save and your word says, ‘The Lord is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray’. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way….For the honor of your name, O Lord, forgive my many, many sins….May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you….I wash my hands to declare my innocence. I come to your altar, O Lord, singing a song of thanksgiving and telling of all your wonders…The one thing I seek most – is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in his Temple…he will hide me…My heart has heard you say, ‘Come and talk with me’…For if you are silent, I might as well give up and die…They care nothing for what the Lord has done or for what his hands have made. So he will tear them down, and they will never be rebuilt! Praise the Lord!…The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart…The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace…Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning,…What will you gain if I die, if I sink into the grave? Can my dust praise you?…You have set me in a safe place…I am dying from grief; my years are shortened by sadness. Sin has drained my strength;…Love the Lord, all you godly ones!…Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!…The Lord says, I will guide you along the best pathway for your life…The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. He assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs…He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do,…I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears…Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing…Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous? Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies! Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it…The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed…For the Lord protects the bones of the righteous; not one of them is broken! (This makes me happy)…Lord, Put on your armor, and take up your shield. Please say I will give you victory!…Let them be destroyed in the pit they dug for me…Then I will thank you in front of the great assembly. I will praise you before all the people…They don’t talk of peace (I am surrounded by conflict)…Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts, They have no fear of God at all…For like grass, they soon fade away…Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread…Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace…My guilt overwhelms me – it is a burden too heavy to bear…They oppose me for pursuing good.
