Taste and See that the Lord is Good (Psalm 34)

Listen to my words, Lord,    consider my lament.Hear my cry for help,    my King and my God,    for to you I pray. In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;    in the morning I lay my requests before you    and wait expectantly.For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;    with you, evil people are not welcome.The arrogant cannot stand    in your presence.You hate all who do wrong;    you destroy those who tell lies.The bloodthirsty and deceitful    you, Lord, detest.But I, by your great love,    can come into your house;in reverence I bow down    toward your holy…

What Can the Righteous Do? (Psalm 11)

The Lord reigns forever;    he has established his throne for judgment.He rules the world in righteousness    and judges the peoples with equity.The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,    a stronghold in times of trouble.Those who know your name trust in you,    for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:7-10

Wait for the Lord (Psalm 27)

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—    where does my help come from?My help comes from the Lord,    the Maker of heaven and earth.

The Lord watches over you—    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;the sun will not harm you by day,    nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm—    he will watch over your life;the Lord will watch over your coming and going    both now and…

Standing On Level Ground (Psalm 26)

God is our refuge and strength,    an ever-present help in trouble.Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way    and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,though its waters roar and foam    and the mountains quake with their surging. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,    the holy place where the Most High dwells.God is within her, she will not fall;    God will help her at break of day.Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;    he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The Lord Almighty is with us;    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Psalm 46:1-7
