Psalm 38 This is a Psalm of David for the memorial offering. Psalm 38, beginning at verse 1, it says, O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath. For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me. There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation. There is no health in my bones because of my sin. For my iniquities have gone over my head, Like…

Psalm 36 Let’s hear from God’s word from Psalm 36, it says, to the choir master of David, the servant of the Lord. Transgression speaks to the wicked. Deep in his heart, there is no fear of God. Before his eyes, for he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated. The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit. He has ceased to act wisely and do good. He plots trouble while…

Psalm 35 Contend, oh Lord, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for my help. Draw the spirit and the javelin against my pursuers. Say to my soul, I am your salvation. Let them be put to shame and dishonor who seek after my life. Let them be turned back and disappointed who devise evil against me. Let them be like chaff that before the wind…

Psalm 34 This is God’s holy word. This is Psalm 34. It says, of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, so that he drove him out and he went away. I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord. Let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord…

Psalm 33 All right, let’s give our attention to God’s holy word and give reverence to his name and all that it reveals about him. This is Psalm 33, beginning at verse one. Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous. Praise befits the upright. Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre. Make melody to him with the heart of 10 strings. Sing to him a new song, play skillfully on the strings with loud shouts. For the…

Psalm 32 Let’s turn to Psalm 32, and we’ll read the 11 verses of it. This psalm is connected to Psalm 51 also. It’s one of the handful of penitential psalms in the Bible, and I think we’ll find many rich things in it. It says, Psalm 32 of Mascael of David. Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered, Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, in whose spirit there is…

Psalm 31 All right, let’s begin by reading Psalm 31, verses one through five. It says, in you, O Lord, do I take refuge. Let me never be put to shame. In your righteousness, deliver me. Incline your ear to me and rescue me speedily. Be a rock of refuge for me and a strong fortress to save me. For you are my rock and my fortress. For your namesake, lead me and guide me. You take me out of…

Psalm 30 This is Psalm 30, beginning at verse one. I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up. You have not let my foes rejoice over me. O Lord, my God, I cry to you for help, and you have healed me. O Lord, you have brought up my soul from shield. You have restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,…

Psalm 29 Reading from Psalm 29 verse 1, it says, a Psalm of David. Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord the glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness. The voice of the Lord is over the waters. The voice of glory thunders the Lord over many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful. The voice of the Lord is full…

Psalm 28 Our reading is Psalm 28, verses one through nine. This is a Psalm of King David, and he says, 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. Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy. When I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands towards your most holy sanctuary, Do not drag…

Psalm 25 Let’s hear from God’s holy word, Psalm 25. This is a Psalm of King David. And he says, To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in you I trust. Let me not be put to shame and let not my enemies exult over me. Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame. They shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. Make me to know your ways, O Lord. Teach me…

Psalm 24 This is Psalm 24 beginning at verse 1. It says, A Psalm of David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein. For he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord and who shall stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what…
