I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy. Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence.
There is a lot buried in that “I know” and “Surely,” that is covered by a simple question. “Do I?” Perhaps these are statements of fact for Ish Elohim, but for me they are presumptuous. I do know that I need to spend more time on my knees praying for the afflicted and needy and giving thanks to the name of the LORD.

Reading
Morning Psalm 61, Noon Psalm 119:161-168, Evening Psalm 146. If you follow this regimen, you will pray through the Psalms every 47 days or just under 8 times per year.
An alternate Reading Plan is 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.
Or set your own reading schedule up in convenient groupings as fits your study habits. But a daily time in the Word of the LORD is an absolute.
