Psalm 88-89 New King James Version A Prayer for Help in Despondency A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. To the Chief Musician. Set to “Mahalath Leannoth.” A [a]Contemplation of Heman the Ezrahite. 88 O Lord, God of my salvation,I have cried out day and night before You.2 Let my prayer come before You;[b]Incline Your ear to my cry. 3 For my soul is full of troubles,And my life draws near to the grave.4 I am counted with those who go[c] down to the pit;I am like a man who has no strength,5 [d]Adrift among the dead,Like the slain who lie in the grave,Whom You remember no more,And who are cut off from Your hand. 6 You have laid me in the lowest pit,In darkness, in the depths.7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me,And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah8 You have [e]put away my acquaintances far from me;You have made me an abomination to them;I am shut up, and I cannot get out;9 My eye wastes away because of affliction. Lord, I have called daily upon You;I have stretched out my hands to You.10 Will You work wonders for the dead?Shall [f]the dead arise and praise You? Selah11 Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave?Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction?12 Shall Your wonders be known in the dark?And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 13 But to You I have cried out, O Lord,And in the morning my prayer comes before You.14 Lord, why do You cast off my soul?Why do You hide Your face from me?15 I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth;I suffer Your terrors;I am distraught.16 Your fierce wrath has gone over me;Your terrors have [g]cut me off.17 They came around me all day long like water;They engulfed me altogether.18 Loved one and friend You have put far from me,And my acquaintances into darkness. Remembering the Covenant with David, and Sorrow for Lost Blessings A [h]Contemplation of Ethan the Ezrahite. 89 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever;With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.2 For I have said, “Mercy shall be built up forever;Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.” 3 “I have made a covenant with My chosen,I have sworn to My servant David:4 ‘Your seed I will establish forever,And build up your throne to all generations.’ ” Selah 5 And the heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord;Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.6 For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord?Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the Lord?7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,And to be held in reverence by all those around Him.8 O Lord God of hosts,Who is mighty like You, O Lord?Your faithfulness also surrounds You.9 You rule the raging of the sea;When its waves rise, You still them.10 You have broken [i]Rahab in pieces, as one who is slain;You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm. 11 The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;The world and all its fullness, You have founded them.12 The north and the south, You have created them;Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Your name.13 You have a mighty arm;Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;Mercy and truth go before Your face.15 Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.16 In Your name they rejoice all day long,And in Your righteousness they are exalted.17 For You are the glory of their strength,And in Your favor our [j]horn is exalted.18 For our shield belongs to the Lord,And our king to the Holy One of Israel. 19 Then You spoke in a vision to Your [k]holy one,And said: “I have given help to one who is mighty;I have exalted one chosen from the people.20 I have found My servant David;With My holy oil I have anointed him,21 With whom My hand shall be established;Also My arm shall strengthen him.22 The enemy shall not [l]outwit him,Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.23 I will beat down his foes before his face,And plague those who hate him. 24 “But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,And in My name his horn shall be exalted.25 Also I will set his hand over the sea,And his right hand over the rivers.26 He shall cry to Me, ‘You are my Father,My God, and the rock of my salvation.’27 Also I will make him My firstborn,The highest of the kings of the earth.28 My mercy I will keep for him forever,And My covenant shall stand firm with him.29 His seed also I will make to endure forever,And his throne as the days of heaven. 30 “If his sons forsake My lawAnd do not walk in My judgments,31 If they [m]break My statutesAnd do not keep My commandments,32 Then I will punish their transgression with the rod,And their iniquity with stripes.33 Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not [n]utterly take from him,Nor [o]allow My faithfulness to fail.34 My covenant I will not break,Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.35 Once I have sworn by My holiness;I will not lie to David:36 His seed shall endure forever,And his throne as the sun before Me;37 It shall be established forever like the moon,Even like the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah 38 But You have cast off and abhorred,[p]You have been furious with Your [q]anointed.39 You have renounced the covenant of Your servant;You have [r]profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.40 You have broken down all his hedges;You have brought his [s]strongholds to ruin.41 All who pass by the way plunder him;He is a reproach to his neighbors.42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;You have made all his enemies rejoice.43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword,And have not sustained him in the battle.44 You have made his [t]glory cease,And cast his throne down to the ground.45 The days of his youth You have shortened;You have covered him with shame. Selah 46 How long, Lord?Will You hide Yourself forever?Will Your wrath burn like fire?47 Remember how short my time is;For what futility have You created all the children of men?48 What man can live and not [u]see death?Can he deliver his life from the power of [v]the grave? Selah 49 Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses,Which You swore to David in Your truth?50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants—How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,51 With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord,With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your [w]anointed. 52 Blessed be the Lord forevermore!Amen and Amen.
I still AM - the ONE in Whom You'll Find Joy - Psalm 16- 1-11 by Cornerstone Church AZ
Psalm 44-47 New King James Version (NKJV) Redemption Remembered in Present Dishonor To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation[a] of the sons of Korah. 44 We have heard with our ears, O God,Our fathers have told us,The deeds You did in their days,In days of old:2 You drove out the [b]nations with Your hand,But them You planted;You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.3 For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,Nor did their own arm save them;But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,Because You favored them. 4 You are my King, [c]O God;[d]Command victories for Jacob.5 Through You we will push down our enemies;Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.6 For I will not trust in my bow,Nor shall my sword save me.7 But You have saved us from our enemies,And have put to shame those who hated us.8 In God we boast all day long,And praise Your name forever. Selah 9 But You have cast us off and put us to shame,And You do not go out with our armies.10 You make us turn back from the enemy,And those who hate us have taken [e]spoil for themselves.11 You have given us up like sheep intended for food,And have scattered us among the nations.12 You sell Your people for next to nothing,And are not enriched by selling them. 13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors,A scorn and a derision to those all around us.14 You make us a byword among the nations,A shaking of the head among the peoples.15 My dishonor is continually before me,And the shame of my face has covered me,16 Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles,Because of the enemy and the avenger. 17 All this has come upon us;But we have not forgotten You,Nor have we dealt falsely with Your covenant.18 Our heart has not turned back,Nor have our steps departed from Your way;19 But You have severely broken us in the place of jackals,And covered us with the shadow of death. 20 If we had forgotten the name of our God,Or stretched[f] out our hands to a foreign god,21 Would not God search this out?For He knows the secrets of the heart.22 Yet for Your sake we are killed all day long;We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 23 Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?Arise! Do not cast us off forever.24 Why do You hide Your face,And forget our affliction and our oppression?25 For our soul is bowed down to the [g]dust;Our body clings to the ground.26 Arise for our help,And redeem us for Your mercies’ sake. The Glories of the Messiah and His Bride To the Chief Musician. Set to [h]“The Lilies.” A [i]Contemplation of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love. 45 My heart is overflowing with a good theme;I recite my composition concerning the King;My tongue is the pen of a [j]ready writer. 2 You are fairer than the sons of men;Grace is poured upon Your lips;Therefore God has blessed You forever.3 [k]Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One,With Your glory and Your majesty.4 And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness;And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies;The peoples fall under You. 6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;Therefore God, Your God, has anointed YouWith the oil of gladness more than Your companions.8 All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia,Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.9 Kings’ daughters are among Your honorable women;At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir. 10 Listen, O daughter,Consider and incline your ear;Forget your own people also, and your father’s house;11 So the King will greatly desire your beauty;Because He is your Lord, worship Him.12 And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;The rich among the people will seek your favor. 13 The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace;Her clothing is woven with gold.14 She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors;The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You.15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought;They shall enter the King’s palace. 16 Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons,Whom You shall make princes in all the earth.17 I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations;Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever. God the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song for Alamoth. 46 God is our refuge and strength,A[l] very present help in trouble.2 Therefore we will not fear,Even though the earth be removed,And though the mountains be carried into the [m]midst of the sea;3 Though its waters roar and be troubled,Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah 4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,The holy place of the [n]tabernacle of the Most High.5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be [o]moved;God shall help her, just [p]at the break of dawn.6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;He uttered His voice, the earth melted. 7 The Lord of hosts is with us;The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah 8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,Who has made desolations in the earth.9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;He burns the chariot in the fire. 10 Be still, and know that I am God;I will be exalted among the nations,I will be exalted in the earth! 11 The Lord of hosts is with us;The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah Praise to God, the Ruler of the Earth To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. 47 Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!Shout to God with the voice of triumph!2 For the Lord Most High is awesome;He is a great King over all the earth.3 He will subdue the peoples under us,And the nations under our feet.4 He will choose our inheritance for us,The excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah 5 God has gone up with a shout,The Lord with the sound of a trumpet.6 Sing praises to God, sing praises!Sing praises to our King, sing praises!7 For God is the King of all the earth;Sing praises with understanding. 8 God reigns over the nations;God sits on His holy throne.9 The princes of the people have gathered together,The people of the God of Abraham.For the shields of the earth belong to God;He is greatly exalted.
After Jesus said this, He looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You. 2For You granted Him authority over all people that He might give eternal life to all those You have given Him. 3Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom You have sent. 4I have brought You glory on earth by finishing the work You gave Me to do. 5And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world began. 6“I have revealed You to those whom You gave Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me and they have obeyed Your word. 7Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You. 8For I gave them the words You gave Me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me. 9I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine. And glory has come to Me through them. 11I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by the power of Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are One. 12While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name You gave Me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. 13“I am coming to You now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of My joy within them. 14I have given them Your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15My prayer is not that You take them out of the world but that You protect them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth. 18As You sent Me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19For them I sanctify Myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. 20“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in Us so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. 22I have given them the glory that You gave Me, that they may be one as we are One—23I in them and You in Me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me. 24“Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, and to see My glory, the glory You have given Me because You loved Me before the creation of the world. 25“Righteous Father, though the world does not know You, I know You, and they know that You have sent Me. 26I have made You known to them, and will continue to make You known in order that the love You have for Me may be in them and that I Myself may be in them.”

Psalm 88 - 1O Lord, the God of my salvation, I have cried out [for help] by day and in the night before You. 2 Let my prayer come before You and enter into Your presence; Incline Your ear to my cry! 3 For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draws near the grave (Sheol, the place of the dead). 4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit (grave); I am like a man who has no strength [a mere shadow], 5 [a]Cast away [from the living] and abandoned among the dead, Like the slain who lie in a [nameless] grave, Whom You no longer remember, And they are cut off from Your hand. 6 You have laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths. 7 Your wrath has rested heavily upon me, And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah. 8 You have put my friends far from me; You have made me an [b]object of loathing to them. I am shut up and I cannot go out. (SEIGE WARFARE) 9 My eye grows dim with sorrow. O Lord, I have called on You every day; I have spread out my hands to You [in prayer]. 10 Will You perform wonders for the dead? Shall the departed spirits arise and praise You? Selah. 11 Will Your loving kindness be declared in the grave Or Your faithfulness in Abaddon (the underworld)? 12 Will Your wonders be known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness [where the dead forget and are forgotten]? 13 But I have cried out to You, O Lord, for help; And in the morning my prayer will come to You. 14 O Lord, why do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me? 15 I was afflicted and close to death from my youth on; I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome. [THE ATTACK] 16 Your fierce wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me. 17 They have surrounded me like flood waters all day long; They have completely encompassed me.
