To the Chief Musician. On A Stringed Instrument. A Psalm of David.
Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name. You will prolong the king's life, His years as many generations. He shall abide before God forever. Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him! So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may daily perform my vows.
A Paean of Praise! If there ever was one. Read these precious 8 verses, each carefully crafted to acknowledge some aspect of the LORD, God, the Almighty, that glorifies Him. He is there for His own from the end of the earth to praising His Name forever.
Should not all our praises and worship of the LORD be cast after this model? At the very least, this precious Psalm used as a template for our worship?
Reading
Morning Psalm 121, Noon Psalm 119:17-24, Evening Psalm 18
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.
