With "Your Daily Psalm" I'm Chris Laning from NeighborhoodStage.com. As always. I'll be reading from The NET Bible at NetBible.org. Psalm 132 A song of ascents. O Lord, for David’s sake remember all his strenuous effort, 2 and how he made a vow to the Lord, and swore an oath to the Powerful One of Jacob. 3 He said, “I will not enter my own home, or get into my bed. 4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep, or my eyelids to slumber, 5 until I find a place for the Lord, a fine dwelling place for the Powerful One of Jacob.” 6 Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah; we found it in the territory of Jaar. 7 Let us go to his dwelling place. Let us worship before his footstool. 8 Ascend, O Lord, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength. 9 May your priests be clothed with integrity. May your loyal followers shout for joy. 10 For the sake of David, your servant, do not reject your chosen king. 11 The Lord made a reliable promise to David; he will not go back on his word. He said, “I will place one of your descendants on your throne. 12 If your sons keep my covenant and the rules I teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever.” 13 Certainly the Lord has chosen Zion; he decided to make it his home. 14 He said, “This will be my resting place forever; I will live here, for I have chosen it. 15 I will abundantly supply what she needs; I will give her poor all the food they need. 16 I will protect her priests, and her godly people will shout exuberantly. 17 There I will make David strong; I have determined that my chosen king’s dynasty will continue. 18 I will humiliate his enemies, and his crown will shine.” -------------------------- And that's it for "Your Daily Psalm".

O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor do I have a haughty look.

If the Lord does not build a house, then those who build it work in vain.

Yes, he provides for those whom he loves even when they sleep. 3 Yes, sons are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward. 4 Sons born during one’s youth are like arrows in a warrior’s hand. 5 How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them.

We were happy. 4 O Lord, restore our well-being, just as the streams in the arid south are replenished. 5 Those who shed tears as they plant will shout for joy when they reap the harvest. 6 The one who weeps as he walks along, carrying his bag of seed, will certainly come in with a shout of joy, carrying his sheaves of grain. -------------------------- And that's it for "Your Daily Psalm".

Otherwise the godly might do what is wrong. 4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, to the morally upright. 5 As for those who are bent on traveling a sinful path, may the Lord remove them, along with those who behave wickedly.

The snare broke, and we escaped. 8 Our deliverer is the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth. -------------------------- And that's it for "Your Daily Psalm".

May those who love her prosper. 7 May there be peace inside your defenses, and prosperity inside your fortresses. 8 For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors I will say, “May there be peace in you.” 9 For the sake of the temple of the Lord our God I will pray for you to prosper. -------------------------- And that's it for "Your Daily Psalm".

The Lord answered me and put me in a wide open place. 6 The Lord is on my side, I am not afraid! What can people do to me? 7 The Lord is on my side as my helper. I look in triumph on those who hate me. 8 It is better to take shelter in the Lord than to trust in people. 9 It is better to take shelter in the Lord than to trust in princes. 10 All the nations surrounded me. Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away. 11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away. 12 They surrounded me like bees. But they disappeared as quickly as a fire among thorns. Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away. 13 “You aggressively attacked me and tried to knock me down, but the Lord helped me. 14 The Lord gives me strength and protects me; he has become my deliverer.” 15 They celebrate deliverance in the tents of the godly. The Lord’s right hand conquers, 16 the Lord’s right hand gives victory, the Lord’s right hand conquers. 17 I will not die, but live, and I will proclaim what the Lord has done. 18 The Lord severely punished me, but he did not hand me over to death. 19 Open for me the gates of the just king’s temple! I will enter through them and give thanks to the Lord. 20 This is the Lord’s gate – the godly enter through it. 21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me, and have become my deliverer. 22 The stone which the builders discarded has become the cornerstone. 23 This is the Lord’s work. We consider it amazing! 24 This is the day the Lord has brought about. We will be happy and rejoice in it. 25 Please Lord, deliver! Please Lord, grant us success! 26 May the one who comes in the name of the Lord be blessed! We will pronounce blessings on you in the Lord’s temple. 27 The Lord is God and he has delivered us.

Make known his accomplishments among the nations! 2 Sing to him! Make music to him! Tell about all his miraculous deeds! 3 Boast about his holy name! Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice! 4 Seek the Lord and the strength he gives! Seek his presence continually! 5 Recall the miraculous deeds he performed, his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed, 6 O children of Abraham, God’s servant, you descendants of Jacob, God’s chosen ones! 7 He is the Lord our God; he carries out judgment throughout the earth. 8 He always remembers his covenantal decree, the promise he made to a thousand generations – 9 the promise he made to Abraham, the promise he made by oath to Isaac! 10 He gave it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as a lasting promise, 11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.” 12 When they were few in number, just a very few, and resident foreigners within it, 13 they wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another. 14 He let no one oppress them; he disciplined kings for their sake, 15 saying, “Don’t touch my chosen ones! Don’t harm my prophets!” 16 He called down a famine upon the earth; he cut off all the food supply. 17 He sent a man ahead of them – Joseph was sold as a servant. 18 The shackles hurt his feet; his neck was placed in an iron collar, 19 until the time when his prediction came true. The Lord’s word proved him right. 20 The king authorized his release; the ruler of nations set him free. 21 He put him in charge of his palace, and made him manager of all his property, 22 giving him authority to imprison his officials and to teach his advisers. 23 Israel moved to Egypt; Jacob lived for a time in the land of Ham. 24 The Lord made his people very fruitful, and made them more numerous than their enemies. 25 He caused them to hate his people, and to mistreat his servants. 26 He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. 27 They executed his miraculous signs among them, and his amazing deeds in the land of Ham. 28 He made it dark; they did not disobey his orders. 29 He turned their water into blood, and killed their fish. 30 Their land was overrun by frogs, which even got into the rooms of their kings. 31 He ordered flies to come; gnats invaded their whole territory. 32 He sent hail along with the rain; there was lightning in their land. 33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees, and broke the trees throughout their territory. 34 He ordered locusts to come, innumerable grasshoppers. 35 They ate all the vegetation in their land, and devoured the crops of their fields. 36 He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of their reproductive power. 37 He brought his people out enriched with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled. 38 Egypt was happy when they left, for they were afraid of them. 39 He spread out a cloud for a cover, and provided a fire to light up the night. 40 They asked for food, and he sent quails; he satisfied them with food from the sky. 41 He opened up a rock and water flowed out; a river ran through dry regions. 42 Yes, he remembered the sacred promise he made to Abraham his servant. 43 When he led his people out, they rejoiced; his chosen ones shouted with joy. 44 He handed the territory of nations over to them, and they took possession of what other peoples had produced, 45 so that they might keep his commands and obey his laws.

As always I'll be reading from the NET Bible at NETBible.org. ----------------------- Psalm 107 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his loyal love endures! 2 Let those delivered by the Lord speak out, those whom he delivered from the power of the enemy, 3 and gathered from foreign lands, from east and west, from north and south. 4 They wandered through the wilderness, in a wasteland; they found no road to a city in which to live. 5 They were hungry and thirsty; they fainted from exhaustion. 6 They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. 7 He led them on a level road, that they might find a city in which to live. 8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people! 9 For he has satisfied those who thirst, and those who hunger he has filled with food. 10 They sat in utter darkness, bound in painful iron chains, 11 because they had rebelled against God’s commands, and rejected the instructions of the Most High. 12 So he used suffering to humble them; they stumbled and no one helped them up. 13 They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. 14 He brought them out of the utter darkness, and tore off their shackles. 15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people! 16 For he shattered the bronze gates, and hacked through the iron bars. 17 They acted like fools in their rebellious ways, and suffered because of their sins. 18 They lost their appetite for all food, and they drew near the gates of death. 19 They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. 20 He sent them an assuring word and healed them; he rescued them from the pits where they were trapped. 21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people! 22 Let them present thank offerings, and loudly proclaim what he has done! 23 Some traveled on the sea in ships, and carried cargo over the vast waters. 24 They witnessed the acts of the Lord, his amazing feats on the deep water. 25 He gave the order for a windstorm, and it stirred up the waves of the sea. 26 They reached up to the sky, then dropped into the depths. The sailors’ strength left them because the danger was so great. 27 They swayed and staggered like a drunk, and all their skill proved ineffective. 28 They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. 29 He calmed the storm, and the waves grew silent. 30 The sailors rejoiced because the waves grew quiet, and he led them to the harbor they desired. 31 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people! 32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people! Let them praise him in the place where the leaders preside! 33 He turned streams into a desert, springs of water into arid land, 34 and a fruitful land into a barren place, because of the sin of its inhabitants. 35 As for his people, he turned a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into springs of water. 36 He allowed the hungry to settle there, and they established a city in which to live. 37 They cultivated fields, and planted vineyards, which yielded a harvest of fruit. 38 He blessed them so that they became very numerous. He would not allow their cattle to decrease in number. 39 As for their enemies, they decreased in number and were beaten down, because of painful distress and suffering. 40 He would pour contempt upon princes, and he made them wander in a wasteland with no road. 41 Yet he protected the needy from oppression, and cared for his families like a flock of sheep. 42 When the godly see this, they rejoice, and every sinner shuts his mouth. 43 Whoever is wise, let him take note of these things! Let them consider the Lord’s acts of loyal love! -----------------------   And that's it for "Your Daily Psalm". To hear previous psalms and to find out other ways to listen go to YourDailyPsalm.com.

With "Your Daily Psalm" I'm Chris Laning from NeighborhoodStage.com. As always I'll be reading from the NET Bible at NETBible.org. ----------------------- Psalm 106 Praise the Lord! Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his loyal love endures! 2 Who can adequately recount the Lord’s mighty acts, or relate all his praiseworthy deeds? 3 How blessed are those who promote justice, and do what is right all the time! 4 Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people! Pay attention to me, when you deliver, 5 so I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, rejoice along with your nation, and boast along with the people who belong to you. 6 We have sinned like our ancestors; we have done wrong, we have done evil. 7 Our ancestors in Egypt failed to appreciate your miraculous deeds, they failed to remember your many acts of loyal love, and they rebelled at the sea, by the Red Sea. 8 Yet he delivered them for the sake of his reputation, that he might reveal his power. 9 He shouted at the Red Sea and it dried up; he led them through the deep water as if it were a desert. 10 He delivered them from the power of the one who hated them, and rescued them from the power of the enemy. 11 The water covered their enemies; not even one of them survived. 12 They believed his promises; they sang praises to him. 13 They quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his instructions. 14 In the wilderness they had an insatiable craving for meat; they challenged God in the wastelands. 15 He granted their request, then struck them with a disease. 16 In the camp they resented Moses, and Aaron, the Lord’s holy priest. 17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it engulfed the group led by Abiram. 18 Fire burned their group; the flames scorched the wicked. 19 They made an image of a calf at Horeb, and worshiped a metal idol. 20 They traded their majestic God for the image of an ox that eats grass. 21 They rejected the God who delivered them, the one who performed great deeds in Egypt, 22 amazing feats in the land of Ham, mighty acts by the Red Sea. 23 He threatened to destroy them, but Moses, his chosen one, interceded with him and turned back his destructive anger. 24 They rejected the fruitful land; they did not believe his promise. 25 They grumbled in their tents; they did not obey the Lord. 26 So he made a solemn vow that he would make them die in the wilderness, 27 make their descendants die among the nations, and scatter them among foreign lands. 28 They worshiped Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead. 29 They made the Lord angry by their actions, and a plague broke out among them. 30 Phinehas took a stand and intervened, and the plague subsided. 31 This was credited to him as a righteous act for all generations to come. 32 They made him angry by the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them, 33 for they aroused his temper, and he spoke rashly. 34 They did not destroy the nations, as the Lord had commanded them to do. 35 They mixed in with the nations and learned their ways. 36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. 37 They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons. 38 They shed innocent blood – the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted by bloodshed. 39 They were defiled by their deeds, and unfaithful in their actions. 40 So the Lord was angry with his people and despised the people who belong to him. 41 He handed them over to the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them. 42 Their enemies oppressed them; they were subject to their authority. 43 Many times he delivered them, but they had a rebellious attitude, and degraded themselves by their sin. 44 Yet he took notice of their distress, when he heard their cry for help. 45 He remembered his covenant with them, and relented because of his great loyal love. 46 He caused all their conquerors to have pity on them. 47 Deliver us, O Lord, our God! Gather us from among the nations! Then we will give thanks to your holy name, and boast about your praiseworthy deeds. 48 The Lord God of Israel deserves praise, in the future and forevermore. Let all the people say, “We agree! Praise the Lord!” -----------------------   And that's it for "Your Daily Psalm".

With "Your Daily Psalm" I'm Chris Laning from NeighborhoodStage.com. As always. I'll be reading from The NET Bible at NetBible.org. Psalm 105 Give thanks to the Lord! Call on his name! Make known his accomplishments among the nations! 2 Sing to him! Make music to him! Tell about all his miraculous deeds! 3 Boast about his holy name! Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice! 4 Seek the Lord and the strength he gives! Seek his presence continually! 5 Recall the miraculous deeds he performed, his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed, 6 O children of Abraham, God’s servant, you descendants of Jacob, God’s chosen ones! 7 He is the Lord our God; he carries out judgment throughout the earth. 8 He always remembers his covenantal decree, the promise he made to a thousand generations – 9 the promise he made to Abraham, the promise he made by oath to Isaac! 10 He gave it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as a lasting promise, 11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.” 12 When they were few in number, just a very few, and resident foreigners within it, 13 they wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another. 14 He let no one oppress them; he disciplined kings for their sake, 15 saying, “Don’t touch my chosen ones! Don’t harm my prophets!” 16 He called down a famine upon the earth; he cut off all the food supply. 17 He sent a man ahead of them – Joseph was sold as a servant. 18 The shackles hurt his feet; his neck was placed in an iron collar, 19 until the time when his prediction came true. The Lord’s word proved him right. 20 The king authorized his release; the ruler of nations set him free. 21 He put him in charge of his palace, and made him manager of all his property, 22 giving him authority to imprison his officials and to teach his advisers. 23 Israel moved to Egypt; Jacob lived for a time in the land of Ham. 24 The Lord made his people very fruitful, and made them more numerous than their enemies. 25 He caused them to hate his people, and to mistreat his servants. 26 He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. 27 They executed his miraculous signs among them, and his amazing deeds in the land of Ham. 28 He made it dark; they did not disobey his orders. 29 He turned their water into blood, and killed their fish. 30 Their land was overrun by frogs, which even got into the rooms of their kings. 31 He ordered flies to come; gnats invaded their whole territory. 32 He sent hail along with the rain; there was lightning in their land. 33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees, and broke the trees throughout their territory. 34 He ordered locusts to come, innumerable grasshoppers. 35 They ate all the vegetation in their land, and devoured the crops of their fields. 36 He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of their reproductive power. 37 He brought his people out enriched with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled. 38 Egypt was happy when they left, for they were afraid of them. 39 He spread out a cloud for a cover, and provided a fire to light up the night. 40 They asked for food, and he sent quails; he satisfied them with food from the sky. 41 He opened up a rock and water flowed out; a river ran through dry regions. 42 Yes, he remembered the sacred promise he made to Abraham his servant. 43 When he led his people out, they rejoiced; his chosen ones shouted with joy. 44 He handed the territory of nations over to them, and they took possession of what other peoples had produced, 45 so that they might keep his commands and obey his laws.

O Lord my God, you are magnificent. You are robed in splendor and majesty. 2 He covers himself with light as if it were a garment. He stretches out the skies like a tent curtain, 3 and lays the beams of the upper rooms of his palace on the rain clouds. He makes the clouds his chariot, and travels along on the wings of the wind. 4 He makes the winds his messengers, and the flaming fire his attendant. 5 He established the earth on its foundations; it will never be moved. 6 The watery deep covered it like a garment; the waters reached above the mountains. 7 Your shout made the waters retreat; at the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off – 8 as the mountains rose up, and the valleys went down – to the place you appointed for them. 9 You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross, so that they would not cover the earth again. 10 He turns springs into streams; they flow between the mountains. 11 They provide water for all the animals in the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. 12 The birds of the sky live beside them; they chirp among the bushes. 13 He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace; the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow. 14 He provides grass for the cattle, and crops for people to cultivate, so they can produce food from the ground, 15 as well as wine that makes people feel so good, and so they can have oil to make their faces shine, as well as food that sustains people’s lives. 16 The trees of the Lord receive all the rain they need, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted, 17 where the birds make nests, near the evergreens in which the herons live. 18 The wild goats live in the high mountains; the rock badgers find safety in the cliffs. 19 He made the moon to mark the months, and the sun sets according to a regular schedule. 20 You make it dark and night comes, during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around. 21 The lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God. 22 When the sun rises, they withdraw and sleep in their dens. 23 Men then go out to do their work, and labor away until evening. 24 How many living things you have made, O Lord! You have exhibited great skill in making all of them; the earth is full of the living things you have made. 25 Over here is the deep, wide sea, which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, living things both small and large. 26 The ships travel there, and over here swims the whale you made to play in it. 27 All of your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis. 28 You give food to them and they receive it; you open your hand and they are filled with food. 29 When you ignore them, they panic. When you take away their life’s breath, they die and return to dust. 30 When you send your life-giving breath, they are created, and you replenish the surface of the ground. 31 May the splendor of the Lord endure! May the Lord find pleasure in the living things he has made! 32 He looks down on the earth and it shakes; he touches the mountains and they start to smolder. 33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist! 34 May my thoughts be pleasing to him! I will rejoice in the Lord. 35 May sinners disappear from the earth, and the wicked vanish! Praise the Lord, O my soul!

Praise the Lord, O my soul! With all that is within me, praise his holy name! 2 Praise the Lord, O my soul! Do not forget all his kind deeds! 3 He is the one who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, 4 who delivers your life from the Pit, who crowns you with his loyal love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your life with good things, so your youth is renewed like an eagle’s. 6 The Lord does what is fair, and executes justice for all the oppressed. 7 The Lord revealed his faithful acts to Moses, his deeds to the Israelites. 8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful; he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love. 9 He does not always accuse, and does not stay angry. 10 He does not deal with us as our sins deserve; he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve. 11 For as the skies are high above the earth, so his loyal love towers over his faithful followers. 12 As far as the eastern horizon is from the west, so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions from us. 13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on his faithful followers. 14 For he knows what we are made of; he realizes we are made of clay. 15 A person’s life is like grass. Like a flower in the field it flourishes, 16 but when the hot wind blows by, it disappears, and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew. 17 But the Lord continually shows loyal love to his faithful followers, and is faithful to their descendants, 18 to those who keep his covenant, who are careful to obey his commands. 19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven; his kingdom extends over everything. 20 Praise the Lord, you angels of his, you powerful warriors who carry out his decrees and obey his orders! 21 Praise the Lord, all you warriors of his, you servants of his who carry out his desires! 22 Praise the Lord, all that he has made, in all the regions of his kingdom!

As always I'll be reading from the NET Bible at NETBible.org. ----------------------- Psalm 102 The prayer of an oppressed man, as he grows faint and pours out his lament before the Lord. O Lord, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my cry for help! 2 Do not ignore me in my time of trouble! Listen to me! When I call out to you, quickly answer me! 3 For my days go up in smoke, and my bones are charred like a fireplace. 4 My heart is parched and withered like grass, for I am unable to eat food. 5 Because of the anxiety that makes me groan, my bones protrude from my skin. 6 I am like an owl in the wilderness; I am like a screech owl among the ruins. 7 I stay awake; I am like a solitary bird on a roof. 8 All day long my enemies taunt me; those who mock me use my name in their curses. 9 For I eat ashes as if they were bread, and mix my drink with my tears, 10 because of your anger and raging fury. Indeed, you pick me up and throw me away. 11 My days are coming to an end, and I am withered like grass. 12 But you, O Lord, rule forever, and your reputation endures. 13 You will rise up and have compassion on Zion. For it is time to have mercy on her, for the appointed time has come. 14 Indeed, your servants take delight in her stones, and feel compassion for the dust of her ruins. 15 The nations will respect the reputation of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will respect his splendor, 16 when the Lord rebuilds Zion, and reveals his splendor, 17 when he responds to the prayer of the destitute, and does not reject their request. 18 The account of his intervention will be recorded for future generations; people yet to be born will praise the Lord. 19 For he will look down from his sanctuary above; from heaven the Lord will look toward earth, 20 in order to hear the painful cries of the prisoners, and to set free those condemned to die, 21 so they may proclaim the name of the Lord in Zion, and praise him in Jerusalem, 22 when the nations gather together, and the kingdoms pay tribute to the Lord. 23 He has taken away my strength in the middle of life; he has cut short my days. 24 I say, “O my God, please do not take me away in the middle of my life! You endure through all generations. 25 In earlier times you established the earth; the skies are your handiwork. 26 They will perish, but you will endure. They will wear out like a garment; like clothes you will remove them and they will disappear. 27 But you remain; your years do not come to an end. 28 The children of your servants will settle down here, and their descendants will live securely in your presence.” ----------------------- And that's it for "Your Daily Psalm".
