Psalms Flashcards
All Things Come From God
For I shall look at the heavens, the works of Your fingers, The moon and stars You established. What is man that You remember him, Or the son of man that You visit him? You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor. You set him over the works of Your hands; You subjected all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen, And besides these, also the animals of the field, The birds of heaven and the fish of the sea, And the things passing through the paths of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, how wondrous is Your name in all the earth. (Psalms 8:4-10, OSB)
The fool says there is no God
For the End; a psalm by David. † The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they are abominable in their habits; There is none, not even one, who does good. (Psalms 13:1, OSB)
Sweeter than Honeycomb
The law of the Lord is blameless, converting souls; The testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making children wise; The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring unto ages of ages; The judgments of the Lord are true, being altogether just. More to be desired are they than gold and a very precious stone, Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. (Psalms 18:8-11, OSB)
God is my Shepherd
A psalm by David. † The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, 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. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord to the end of my days. (Psalms 22:1-6, OSB)
Teach Me Your Ways and Forgive My Sins
Make known Your ways to me, O Lord, And teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation, And on You I wait all the day. Remember Your compassion, O Lord, And Your mercy, for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor of my ignorance; But remember me according to Your mercy, Because of Your loving-kindness, O Lord. (Psalms 24:4-7, OSB)
Strength of the World is a False Hope - Hope in the Lord!
The Lord looked attentively from heaven; He saw all the sons of men. From His prepared dwelling-place, He looked upon all who dwell on the earth, He who alone fashioned their hearts, He who understands all their works. A king is not saved by his large army, And a giant shall not be saved by his immense strength; A horse is a false hope for salvation, And it shall not be saved by its enormous power. Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, To deliver their souls from death And to keep them alive in famine. Our soul shall wait for the Lord; He is our helper and protector; For our heart shall be glad in Him, And we hope in His holy name. Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, As we hope in You. (Psalms 32:13-22, OSB)
