Proud2BCatholic139 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 [quote name='theculturewarrior' date='Aug 30 2005, 11:10 AM']When the Lord delivered Zion from bondage, it seemed like a dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, on our lips there were songs. The heathens themselves said: "What marvels the Lord worked for them!". What marvels the Lord worked for us! Indeed we were glad. Deliver us O Lord, from our bondage as streams in dry land. Those who are sowing in tears will sing when they reap. They go out, they go out, full of tears, carrying seed for the sowing: they come back, they come back full of song, carrying their sheaves.

azaelia Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Psalm 131 1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. O LORD, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. 2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a child quieted at its mother's breast; like a child that is quieted is my soul. 3 O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

ForHimAlone Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Psalm 45 2 My heart is stirred by a noble theme, as I sing my ode to the king. My tongue is the pen of a nimble scribe. 3 You are the most handsome of men; fair speech has graced your lips, for God has blessed you forever. 4 Gird your sword upon your hip, mighty warrior! In splendor and majesty ride on triumphant! 5 In the cause of truth and justice may your right hand show you wondrous deeds. 6 Your arrows are sharp; peoples will cower at your feet; the king's enemies will lose heart. 7 2 Your throne, O god, stands forever; your royal scepter is a scepter for justice. 8 You love justice and hate wrongdoing; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellow kings. 9 3 With myrrh, aloes, and cassia your robes are fragrant. From ivory-paneled palaces stringed instruments bring you joy. 10 4 Daughters of kings are your lovely wives; a princess arrayed in Ophir's gold comes to stand at your right hand. 11 5 Listen, my daughter, and understand; pay me careful heed. Forget your people and your father's house, 12 that the king might desire your beauty. He is your lord; 13 honor him, daughter of Tyre. Then the richest of the people will seek your favor with gifts. 14 All glorious is the king's daughter as she enters, her raiment threaded with gold; 15 In embroidered apparel she is led to the king. The maids of her train are presented to the king. 16 They are led in with glad and joyous acclaim; they enter the palace of the king. 17 The throne of your fathers your sons will have; you shall make them princes through all the land. 18 I will make your name renowned through all generations; thus nations shall praise you forever.

gelibeme Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Ditto Psalm 42: As a deer longs for flowing water... The Lord gave me this psalm during a time of great spiritual warfare and pain. Seven Sorrows has a song inspired by this Psalm that I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domine ut Videam Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Psalm 103 is my favorite. I say it every morning. If I don't...God lets me know it. It has changed my life. My spiritual director is the one who led me to it. [u]Psalm 103[/u] Bless the LORD, my soul; all my being, bless his holy name! Bless the LORD, my soul; do not forget all the gifts of God, Who pardons all your sins, heals all your ills, Delivers your life from the pit, surrounds you with love and compassion, Fills your days with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle's. The LORD does righteous deeds, brings justice to all the oppressed. His ways were revealed to Moses, mighty deeds to the people of Israel. Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger, abounding in kindness. God does not always rebuke, nurses no lasting anger, Has not dealt with us as our sins merit, nor requited us as our deeds deserve. As the heavens tower over the earth, so God's love towers over the faithful. As far as the east is from the west, so far have our sins been removed from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on the faithful. For he knows how we are formed, remembers that we are dust. Our days are like the grass; like flowers of the field we blossom. The wind sweeps over us and we are gone; our place knows us no more. But the LORD'S kindness is forever, toward the faithful from age to age. He favors the children's children of those who keep his covenant, who take care to fulfill its precepts. The LORD'S throne is established in heaven; God's royal power rules over all. Bless the LORD, all you angels, mighty in strength and attentive, obedient to every command. Bless the LORD, all you hosts, ministers who do God's will. Bless the LORD, all creatures, everywhere in God's domain. Bless the LORD, my soul! -Yours in Christ Lauren Edited April 20, 2006 by Domine ut Videam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
