Day 4 Morning Psalt Intake

Have you ever wondered what the ‘glory of God’ is? The glory of God is His splendor, His majesty. It is the beauty that emanates from all that He is. As the Psalmist gazed into the heavens he was in awe of the Creator. His response was an increased desire to live by trying to do the next right thing.

Psalm 19

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. 2 Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, 5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course. 6 His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat. 7 The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD’s testimony is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward. 12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors. 13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression. 14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
I join with the Psalmist in praying that God will grant your heart’s desire!

Psalm 20

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
1 May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high, 2 send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion, 3 remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah. 4 May He grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel. 5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests. 6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of the LORD our God. 8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright. 9 Save, LORD! Let the King answer us when we call!
Our hope and trust is in the Lord and in His mighty power.

Psalm 21

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
1 The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation! 2 You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. 3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head. 4 He asked life of you, you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever. 5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him. 6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence. 7 For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved. 8 Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you. 9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them. 10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from amongst the children of men. 11 For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed. 12 For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face. 13 Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
