49 Days of Psalms - Day 1

Day 1 (Psalms 1 through 5)



Psalms 1

Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.
The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.


Psalms 2

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.
Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for yours inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Be wise now therefore, O all of you kings: be instructed, all of you judges of the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and all of you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.


Psalms 3

Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
But you, O LORD, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for you have smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
Salvation belongs unto the LORD: your blessing is upon your people. Selah.


Psalms 4

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
O all of you sons of men, how long will all of you turn my glory into shame? how long will all of you love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance upon us.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.


Psalms 5

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto you will I pray.
My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto you, and will look up.
For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.
The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.
You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will detest the bloody and deceitful man.
But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.
Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; make your way straight before my face.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with their tongue.
Destroy you them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.
But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you.
For you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favour will you compass him as with a shield.
