for those reading the Psalms for Lent (just let me know if you dont want to be tagged with this daily reading): Psalm 28 A Psalm of David. [1] To You, O LORD, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if You be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the Pit. [2] Hear the voice of my supplication, as I cry to You for help, as I lift up my hands toward Your most holy sanctuary. [3] Take me not off with the wicked, with those who are workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors, while mischief is in their hearts. [4] Requite them according to their work, and according to the evil of their deeds; requite them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward. [5] Because they do not regard the works of the LORD, or the work of his hands, he will break them down and build them up no more. [6] Blessed be the LORD! for he has heard the voice of my supplications. [7] The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. [8] The LORD is the strength of his people, he is the saving refuge of his anointed. [9] O save Your people, and bless Your heritage; be their shepherd, and carry them forever. Psalm 29 A Psalm of David. [1] Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. [2] Ascribe to the LORD the glory of his name; worship the LORD in holy array. [3] The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, upon many waters. [4] The voice of the LORD is powerful, the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. [5] The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon. [6] He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox. [7] The voice of the LORD flashes forth flames of fire. [8] The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness, the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. [9] The voice of the LORD makes the oaks to whirl, and strips the forests bare; and in his temple all cry, Glory! [10] The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD sits enthroned as king forever. [11] May the LORD give strength to his people! May the LORD bless his people with peace! Psalm 30 A Psalm of David. A Song at the dedication of the Temple. [1] I will extol You, O LORD, for You have drawn me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me. [2] O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You have healed me. [3] O LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol, restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit. [4] Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. [5] For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. [6] As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved. [7] By Your favor, O LORD, You hadst established me as a strong mountain; You hid Your face, I was dismayed. [8] To You, O LORD, I cried; and to the LORD I made supplication: [9] What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it tell of Your faithfulness? [10] Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me! O LORD, be You my helper! [11] You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, [12] that my soul may praise You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever. In order for us to go through all 150 psalms, we must read an extra one on Saturdays and Sundays: Psalm 31 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. [1] In You, O LORD, do I seek refuge; let me never be put to shame; in Your righteousness deliver me! [2] Incline Your ear to me, rescue me speedily! Be You a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! [3] Yea, You are my rock and my fortress; for Your names sake lead me and guide me, [4] take me out of the net which is hidden for me, for You are my refuge. [5] Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God. [6] You hate those who pay regard to vain idols; but I trust in the LORD. [7] I will rejoice and be glad for Your steadfast love, because You have seen my affliction, You have taken heed of my adversities, [8] and have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place. [9] Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eye is wasted from grief, my soul and my body also. [10] For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away. [11] I am the scorn of all my adversaries, a horror to my neighbors, an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me. [12] I have passed out of mind like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel. [13] Yea, I hear the whispering of many -- terror on every side! -- as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life. [14] But I trust in You, O LORD, I say, You are my God. [15] My times are in Your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors! [16] Let Your face shine on Your servant; save me in Your steadfast love! [17] Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I call on You; let the wicked be put to shame, let them go dumbfounded to Sheol. [18] Let the lying lips be dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt. [19] O how abundant is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, and wrought for those who take refuge in You, in the sight of the sons of men! [20] In the covert of Your presence You hide them from the plots of men; You hold them safe under Your shelter from the strife of tongues. [21] Blessed be the LORD, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was beset as in a besieged city. [22] I had said in my alarm, I am driven far from Your sight. But You heard my supplications, when I cried to You for help. [23] Love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but abundantly requites him who acts haughtily. [24] Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD! +
