PSALMS

From Psalm 42

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:
all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness
in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me,
and my prayer unto the God of my life.

Psalm 42: 7 – 8

From Psalm 4

Hear me when I call,
O God of my righteousness:

thou hast enlarged me
when I was in distress;

have mercy upon me, and
hear my prayer.

Psalm 4: 1 (KJV)
I arranged the lines for this post, from the archives.

The Psalms: With Commentary by Kathleen Norris

I saw this book when it was first published and recently bought a nice used copy from Amazon. This book offers the King James Version of the Psalms, and I am praying them in a quiet voice.

Hear my cry, O God;
attend unto my prayer.

From Psalm 61
