Psalm 3-5

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Psalm 3-5

1O LORD, how my foes have increased!
How many rise up against me!
2Many say of me,
“God will not deliver him.”
3But You, O LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4To the LORD I cry aloud,
and He answers me from His holy mountain.
5I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
6I will not fear the myriads
set against me on every side.
7Arise, O LORD!
Save me, O my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.
8Salvation belongs to the LORD;
may Your blessing be on Your people.
1Answer me when I call,
O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved my distress;
show me grace and hear my prayer.
2How long, O men, will my honor be maligned?
How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
3Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself;
the LORD hears when I call to Him.
4Be angry, yet do not sin;
on your bed, search your heart and be still.
5Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
and trust in the LORD.
6Many ask, “Who can show us the good?”
Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
7You have filled my heart with more joy
than when grain and new wine abound.
8I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
1Give ear to my words, O LORD;
consider my groaning.
2Attend to the sound of my cry,
my King and my God,
for to You I pray.
3In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice;
at daybreak I lay my plea before You
and wait in expectation.
4For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;
no evil can dwell with You.
5The boastful cannot stand in Your presence;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
6You destroy those who tell lies;
the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
7But I will enter Your house
by the abundance of Your loving devotion;
in reverence I will bow down
toward Your holy temple.
8Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness
because of my enemies;
make straight Your way before me.
9For not a word they speak can be trusted;
destruction lies within them.
Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.
10Declare them guilty, O God;
let them fall by their own devices.
Drive them out for their many transgressions,
for they have rebelled against You.
11But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;
let them ever shout for joy.
May You shelter them,
that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
12For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous;
You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
