Favorite Psalms

Psalm 34:4: "I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears."

Psalm 56:3: "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you."

Psalm 46:1, 10: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble... Be still, and know that I am God."

Psalm 27:1: "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"

These are good. "Be still and know that I am God" is one of my favorites as well. It reminds me of when I was a child, and our church would sit in silent meditation about 20 minutes. You learn things that way that you just don't get anywhere else.

“We’re a team… Me and God.”

My Oklahoma roots coming to the surface with some country twang. This song feels… comfortable and relaxed and that’s how it should be with the creator.

Psalm 16 (KJV)​

Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Psalm 23
​

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

This was the first scripture that I decided on my own to memorize. Memorization had long been a part of my religious upbringing, but this was the first passage that *I* chose. I must have been eight? Maybe nine? It's nice when it's always just there for you when you need it.
