To the Chief Musician. Set to "Do Not Destroy." a Michtam of David When Saul Sent Men, and They Watched the House in Order to Kill Him.Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; Defend me from those who rise up against me. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloodthirsty men. For look, they lie in wait for my life; The mighty gather against me, Not formy transgression nor formy sin, O LORD. They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine.Awake to help me, and behold!
There is a note of desperation in the introduction to this Psalm. David is feeling surrounded by his enemies and deserted by a sleeping LORD. But he, like we, find out that our LORD will never leave us nor forsake us. Our enemies are but a flick of the LORD, God, the Almighty's finger and POOF, GONE.
Reading
Morning Psalm 114, Noon Psalm 119:152-160, Evening Psalm 13,
Alternate Reading Plan based on 7 chapters/day from 7 sections of the Scriptures. My groupings are: Genesis-Joshua, Judges to Esther, Job to Song of Solomon, Psalms breaking 119 into convenient sets, Isaiah to Malachi, Matthew to Acts, Romans to Revelation.
Set your own up in convenient groupings as fits your study habits.
I suggest either setting aside a period of the day to read all, or break the readings up into morning, mid-day, and evening series. Both approaches have their advantages, and both will build an awareness of the Bible as a whole over time
