Psalms in 30 days reading for day 5.

Psalms 21

  1. 1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!
  2. 2 You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
  3. 3 For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
  4. 4 He asked You for life, and You granted it— length of days, forever and ever.
  5. 5 Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.
  6. 6 For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.
  7. 7 For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.
  8. 8 Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.
  9. 9 You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.
  10. 10 You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.
  11. 11 Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.
  12. 12 For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.
  13. 13 Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.

Psalms 22

  1. 1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?
  2. 2 I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.
  3. 3 Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
  4. 4 In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You delivered them.
  5. 5 They cried out to You and were set free; they trusted in You and were not disappointed.
  6. 6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.
  7. 7 All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:
  8. 8 “He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”
  9. 9 Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.
  10. 10 From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.
  11. 11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
  12. 12 Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
  13. 13 They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.
  14. 14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts away within me.
  15. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death.
  16. 16 For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.
  17. 17 I can count all my bones; they stare and gloat over me.
  18. 18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.
  19. 19 But You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
  20. 20 Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of wild dogs.
  21. 21 Save me from the mouth of the lion; at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!
  22. 22 I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly.
  23. 23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All descendants of Jacob, honor Him! All offspring of Israel, revere Him!
  24. 24 For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.
  25. 25 My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.
  26. 26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him. May your hearts live forever!
  27. 27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.
  28. 28 For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.
  29. 29 All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him— even those unable to preserve their lives.
  30. 30 Posterity will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.
  31. 31 They will come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn— all that He has done.

Psalms 23

  1. 1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
  2. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.
  3. 3 He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.
  4. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
  5. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
  6. 6 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalms 24

  1. 1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell therein.
  2. 2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
  3. 3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place?
  4. 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully.
  5. 5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.
  6. 6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob. Selah
  7. 7 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!
  8. 8 Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
  9. 9 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!
  10. 10 Who is He, this King of Glory? The LORD of Hosts— He is the King of Glory. Selah

Psalms 25

  1. 1 Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
  2. 2 in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.
  3. 3 Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.
  4. 4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.
  5. 5 Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.
  6. 6 Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.
  7. 7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.
  8. 8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.
  9. 9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.
  10. 10 All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.
  11. 11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.
  12. 12 Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.
  13. 13 His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
  14. 14 The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.
  15. 15 My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.
  16. 16 Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.
  17. 17 The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.
  18. 18 Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.
  19. 19 Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.
  20. 20 Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.
  21. 21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.
  22. 22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.
