Your favourite psalm

Share what are your favourites and what they mean to you. In my bible study at the moment we are each picking a psalm, last night one lady shared Psalm 19. The heavens declare the glory of God. Love it!

I have a few favourites but one I have never forgotten is Psalm 23. the Lord is my Shepherd.
Psalm 91 also. He who dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty

What are yours?
 
One of my favorites is ps 103:1-5

Let all that I am praise the Lord ; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord ; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!
Psalms 103:1‭-‬5 NLT

Mine is Psalm 150,

In everything praise the Lord!

It took me years to learn, when I had a bad day or was feeling discouraged I focused on my woes and didn't give a thought about Jesus. Psalm 150 opened thy eyes and reminded me that He is with us through everything so I learned that my disappointments are part of everything and have learned to praise and be there with Him as well.
 
I also have been blessed and helped by Psalm 23, from when I was young. During a time of serious torment the words came into my mind from nowhere: "The Lord is my Shepherd." I had just started seeking God and He gave me this comfort in His compassion. Even now, nearly 40 years later, this psalm still comforts me. How lovely.
 
I had my bible study and we read psalm 91. One lady said it meant a lot to her because she lived through the blitz in world war 2.


I said it meant a lot to me because it was given to me at my deliverance from fear.
 
Psalm 143:8 (KJV)

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust:
cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
 
Psalms 37
1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.


2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.


3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.


4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.


5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.


6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.


7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.


8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.


9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.


10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.


11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.


12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.


13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.


14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.


15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.


16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.


17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.


18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.


19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.


20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.


21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.


22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.


23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.


24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.


25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.


26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.


27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.


28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.


29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.


30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.


31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.


32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.


33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.


34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.


35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.


36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.


37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.


38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.


39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.


40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

This psalm always reminds me to rely on the Lord and I will never fall. If I envy the enemy, or want what He wants, then I lose focus of the Lord. This psalm helps get my priorities straight when I veer off course.

In peace
