Bible in a year reading for day 174.

Psalms 56

  1. 11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
  2. 12 Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.
  3. 13 For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

Psalms 57

  1. 1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.
  2. 2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
  3. 3 He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. Selah God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth.
  4. 4 My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts— with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
  5. 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
  6. 6 They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it! Selah
  7. 7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
  8. 8 Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
  9. 9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
  10. 10 For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.
  11. 11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

Psalms 58

  1. 1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David. Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
  2. 2 No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
  3. 3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.
  4. 4 Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,
  5. 5 refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.
  6. 6 O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
  7. 7 May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.
  8. 8 Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.
  9. 9 Before your pots can feel the burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away.
  10. 10 The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
  11. 11 Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”

Psalms 59

  1. 1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.
  2. 2 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.
  3. 3 See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.
  4. 4 For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.
  5. 5 O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah
  6. 6 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
  7. 7 See what they spew from their mouths— sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”
  8. 8 But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.
  9. 9 I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.
  10. 10 My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.
  11. 11 Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
  12. 12 By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.
  13. 13 Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah
  14. 14 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
  15. 15 They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.
  16. 16 But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
  17. 17 To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.

Psalms 60

  1. 1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!
  2. 2 You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.
  3. 3 You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.
  4. 4 You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow. Selah
  5. 5 Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
  6. 6 God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
  7. 7 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
  8. 8 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
  9. 9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
  10. 10 Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
  11. 11 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
  12. 12 With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.

Psalms 61

  1. 1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
  2. 2 From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
  3. 3 For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.
  4. 4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
  5. 5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.
  6. 6 Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.
  7. 7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.
  8. 8 Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.

Psalms 62

  1. 1 For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
  2. 2 He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.
  3. 3 How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?
  4. 4 They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah
  5. 5 Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
  6. 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
  7. 7 My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.
  8. 8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah
  9. 9 Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.
  10. 10 Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
  11. 11 God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,
  12. 12 and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.

Psalms 63

  1. 1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.
  2. 2 So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.
  3. 3 Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.
  4. 4 So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.
  5. 5 My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
  6. 6 When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.
  7. 7 For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.
  8. 8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
  9. 9 But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.
  10. 10 They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.
  11. 11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
