Peace be within thy walls,
and prosperity within thy palaces.
For my brethren and companions’ sakes,
I will now say, Peace be within thee.
Because of the house of the LORD our God,
I will seek thy good.
Psalm 122: 7 – 9

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us:
and establish thou the work of our hands upon us;
yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Psalm 90: 17
And now, Lord,
what wait I for?
my hope is in thee.
Psalm 39: 7
birds sing
outside the window
as we join with many
who pray the Psalms
this Mystery
Cause me to hear
thy lovingkindness
in the morning . . .
From Psalm 143: 8
From March 2020 – July 2020, we posted short selections from the 150 Psalms. This year, I am inspired to post verses again – and to create the posts around words and themes from the Psalms. There are Page Indexes for the 2020 Series, filed under MENU. This is a new series, to grow from the older series, and another way to read from the Psalms. These are the 2022 posts so far:
“like a tree planted by the rivers” from Psalm 1
“green pastures . . . still waters” from Psalm 23
“O continue thy lovingkindness” from Psalm 36
And then today’s post continues with lovingkindness. One post leads to another post. A new idea for a series, and I will learn a day at a time. Thank you.
The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Psalm 23: 1-3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalm 1: 3
