The Holy Bible in 1 year - Day 122

    Good day! Let's continue reading the Bible with chapters 25 to 27 from the book of Psalms. In psalm, 25 David confesses his faith in the LORD God and though that he rejoices in his salvation. David confesses how blessed he feels be ause he knows the LORD is with him and prays for the redemption of Israel. In psalm 26 David confesses before the LORD how he upheld God's will and law; David considers himself amorg the just so he prays to God for forgiveness and blessing through redemption. In psalm 27 David portrays his feelings of disheartness. But in the same time he confides in the LORD and in His power. David again proclaims the LORD is his salvation and shelter, his steength and his guidance. So casts out fear and replaces it with hope i. The LORD and love for our LORD God; thus through the words in the psalms we are shown a very good example for what we are told in 1John 4:18  "

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment.

PSALM  25

Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

² O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
³ Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
⁴ Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
⁵ Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
⁶ Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
⁷ Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
⁸ Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
⁹ The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
¹⁰ All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
¹¹ For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
¹² What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
¹³ His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
¹⁴ The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
¹⁵ Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
¹⁶ Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
¹⁷ The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
¹⁸ Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
¹⁹ Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
²⁰ O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
²¹ Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
²² Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

PSALM  26

Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.

² Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
³ For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
⁴ I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
⁵ I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
⁶ I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
⁷ That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
⁸ Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
⁹ Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
¹⁰ In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
¹¹ But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
¹² My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.

PSALM  27

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

² When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
³ Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
⁴ One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
⁵ For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
⁶ And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
⁷ Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
⁸ When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
⁹ Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
¹⁰ When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
¹¹ Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
¹² Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
¹³ I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
¹⁴ Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
