Praying Psalm Passages

I decided to open up to the book of Psalm yesterday and start reading. I began in Psalm 23 and ended at Psalm 30. God never ceases to amaze me with how on time He is. I marked up the below passages and combined them to read together as a prayer. Collectively these passages read like a powerhouse of adoration, dedication and thanksgiving to Him. I hope they speak to you as they have to me!

Psalm 23:6

6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me

all the days of my life,

and I will live in the house of the Lord

forever.

Psalm 25:4-5, 15, 21

4 Show me the right path, O Lord;

point out the road for me to follow.

5 Lead me by your truth and teach me,

for you are the God who saves me.

All day long I put my hope in you.

15 My eyes are always on the Lord,

for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies.

21 May integrity and honesty protect me.

for I put my hope in you.

Psalm 27:1, 4-6, 11, 13-14

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—

so why should I be afraid?

The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,

so why should I tremble?

4 The one thing I ask of the Lord—

the thing I seek most—

is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

delighting in the Lord’s perfections

and meditating in his Temple.

5 For he will conceal me there when troubles come;

he will hide me in his sanctuary.

He will place me out of reach on a high rock.

6 Then I will hold my head high

above my enemies who surround me.

At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy,

singing and praising the Lord with music.

11 Teach me how to live, O Lord.

Lead me along the right path,

for my enemies are waiting for me.

13 Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness

while I am here in the land of the living.

14 Wait patiently for the Lord.

Be brave and courageous.

Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

Psalm 28: 6-7

6 Praise the Lord!

For he has heard my cry for mercy.

7 The Lord is my strength and shield.

I trust him with all my heart.

He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.

I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

Psalm 29:1-2, 11

1 Honor the Lord, you heavenly beings;

honor the Lord for his glory and strength.

2 Honor the Lord for the glory of his name.

Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

11 The Lord gives his people strength.

The Lord blesses them with peace.

Psalm 30: 10-12

10 Hear me, Lord, and have mercy on me.

Help me, O Lord.

11 You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.

You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,

12 that I might sing praises to you and not be silent.

O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!
