I have done justice and righteousness; Do not leave me to my oppressors. Be surety for Your servant for good; Do not let the proud oppress me.
My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation And Your righteous word. Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy, And teach me Your statutes.I am Your servant; Give me understanding, That I may know Your testimonies.
It is time for You to act, O LORD, For they have regarded Your law as void. Therefore I love Your commandments More than gold, yes, than fine gold! Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right; I hate every false way.
It's working. The Psalmist is coming to the LORD, God, the Almighty for instruction, for protection, and for shelter. This is indeed one of the many ways that we glorify the LORD, by acknowledging Him as the source of all that is right and good. He pours out His love upon His people. He fills our hearts with joy and singing. Praise His holy Name.
Reading
Morning Psalm 18, Noon Psalm 119:129-136, Evening Psalm 107
Alternate Reading Plan based on 7 chapters/day from 7 sections of the Scriptures.
Genesis 3, Judges 3, Job 3, Psalm 3, Isaiah 3, Matthew 3, Romans 3.
I suggest either setting aside a period of the day to read all seven, 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.
