Day 2: Psalm 6-10

Psalms in 30 days reading for day 2.

Psalms 6

  1. 1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.
  2. 2 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony.
  3. 3 My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?
  4. 4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.
  5. 5 For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol?
  6. 6 I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
  7. 7 My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes.
  8. 8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
  9. 9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
  10. 10 All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.

Psalms 7

  1. 1 A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,
  2. 2 or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
  3. 3 O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,
  4. 4 if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,
  5. 5 then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah
  6. 6 Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.
  7. 7 Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
  8. 8 The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
  9. 9 Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
  10. 10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
  11. 11 God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
  12. 12 If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
  13. 13 He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.
  14. 14 Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
  15. 15 He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
  16. 16 His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.
  17. 17 I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

Psalms 8

  1. 1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.
  2. 2 From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.
  3. 3 When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—
  4. 4 what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?
  5. 5 You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.
  6. 6 You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:
  7. 7 all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,
  8. 8 the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
  9. 9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Psalms 9

  1. 1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.
  2. 2 I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
  3. 3 When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.
  4. 4 For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.
  5. 5 You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.
  6. 6 The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.
  7. 7 But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.
  8. 8 He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.
  9. 9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
  10. 10 Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
  11. 11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.
  12. 12 For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
  13. 13 Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,
  14. 14 that I may declare all Your praises— that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.
  15. 15 The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
  16. 16 The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah
  17. 17 The wicked will return to Sheol— all the nations who forget God.
  18. 18 For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.
  19. 19 Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.
  20. 20 Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah

Psalms 10

  1. 1 Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
  2. 2 In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
  3. 3 For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
  4. 4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
  5. 5 He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
  6. 6 He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
  7. 7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
  8. 8 He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
  9. 9 He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
  10. 10 They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
  11. 11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
  12. 12 Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
  13. 13 Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
  14. 14 But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
  15. 15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
  16. 16 The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
  17. 17 You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
  18. 18 to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
