Psalm 99-106

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy. Psalm 99:9

Lord, Thou art holy and worthy to be praised. I pray that this truth would be, above all, engrained in my conscience and knowledge. That I might praise Thee with my whole heart and reverence Thee.

A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100:1-5

Lord, I praise Thee for Thy wondrous works among the children of men. Lord, Thou hast made us what we are and there is nothing we can say that we have done or are apart from Thee. I desire to have a thankful heart and to bless Thy name with my whole heart. Thou hast been good to me and have shown mercy when Thou shouldst shown justice. Help me to know Thy truth and to hide it in my heart.

Lord, it amazes me that something so wonderful as Thy word, would be so easy to turn away from. I have allowed circumstances that could have easily been avoided or changed with a simple decision, to pull me away from what matters most. I desired to dedicate myself wholly to Thee…but I know I am but flesh. Lord, I pray that Thou wouldst strengthen me and hold me close to Thy side. I know that there is no strength in me and that there is no success in my life accept the victory be Thine.

My prayer is that Thou wouldst forgive the iniquities of Thy servant and to grant unto me one more chance to draw neigh unto Thee and to fill my heart with Thy word. Let Thy word be in the inward and hidden parts of me and my life. Help me to take those things which Thou hast taught me and use them for Thy honor and glory. Thank you Lord, for Thy loving kindness and Thy tender mercies.

Psalm 91-98

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence…Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;” Psalm 91:1-3, 5

Lord, I pray that Thou wouldst keep me from the snare of the fowler. I know that many snares have been put in my way of late and I have succumbed to many of them. It has been so easy to mind the things of this world and get caught up in my carnal responsibilities, all the while, forgetting my heavenly ones. Lord, I pray that Thy word would have free course in my life. Help me to forsake slothfulness and a proud, haughty mind. Help me to know my place and that any victory is of Thee and Thee alone. Make me to know my state, that I would praise Thee for Thy wondrous works in my life. My desire is to abide under the shadow of the Almighty and to know that Thou art my God.

“For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.” Psalm 92: 4-5

Lord, how is it that I could ever think that any success I have ever had could have anything to do with my own abilities and efforts? How is it that I could ever believe that my thoughts are deeper than Thine? How is it that I could believe that because of the experience I have gained, that I have anything to do with the victories that I have gotten? Lord, it is all of Thee and Thee alone. Forgive me for the pride of my heart and mind. Bring me low that I may know that Thou truly are God and the strength of my days. Help me to know that Thou art my Sustainer and the Keeper of my life and that the reason that Thou doest these things in my life have only to do with Thy honor and Thy glory in all the earth. Thou hast no need of me, but Thou hast chosen to use me that Thy name might be proclaimed in all the earth. Lord, help me to know my state that Thou mayest gain the maximum glory from my life.

“For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name forevermore. ” Psalm 86:10-12

Lord, thank you for being God alone and for making Thy ways plain. Thou art great and doing wondrous things in my life and I give praise unto Thee. Help me to know Thy ways and to keep my heart steady. Help me to do the things that I know I ought to do and to draw neigh unto Thee daily.

Psalm 75-82

“I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.” Psalm 77:11-12

Lord, help me always to remember the works of Thy hands. Lord truly the half has not been told of Thy works in all the earth, or even for that matter, in my own life. I have felt threatened by things that in Thy sight are so petty. I have bowed up and prepared to fight, and forgotten that I have no reason to fear. Lord, I know that You fight my battles and that all I have to do is to rest in Thee and to have no fear. Help me to remember all Thy wondrous works.

“But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.” Psalm 78:38-39

Lord, thank you for Thy tender mercies that You show to me day by day. I fail the oft and still Thy compassions fail not nor is Thy grace stilled. Lord, I praise Thee for Thy wondrous works in my life and ask Thee that Thou wouldst help me to bring Thy name glory.

Psalm 59-66

“For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold…But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defense.” Psalm 59:3-4, 8-9

Lord, I feel as David did, that I have been judged falsely and accused unjustly. Lord, though I know that there is always more that I could do to improve my abilities and to further production, I have been singled out and made to feel as I am the sole reason for these problems. Lord, help me to trust in Thee and be my defense. Lord, make these who cast stones in my direction to know that my God is the maker and giver of their prosperity. Lord, have them in derision and make my way prosperous so that they who accuse me would be put to shame.

“Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.”

Lord, I need Thy help today. Lord, I desperately need to have the right attitude and heart today. I feel persecuted unjustly and my flesh desires to fight back. But Thou O’ Lord are my only help. I need the strength of Thy right hand to uphold me and to fight against my enemies. Lord, help me to be valiant in my efforts and make the work of my hands to prosper, for without Thy help it is all in vain. There is nothing that I can do but trust in Thee. Lord, forgive my faults and cleans me from sin. As David asked in Psalm 51, renew a right spirit within me and create in me a clean heart O’ God. Forgive me my trespasses and help me to know Thy word. Give me victory and help me to stand in hope of Thee.

Psalm 51-58

“Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.” Psalm 51:6

Lord, I beg Thy forgiveness for the sin of my life. Lord, above all, my time with Thee has suffered. Lord, my commitment to Thee and to Thy word has failed. I pray that Thou wouldst cleans me from my sin and blot out my transgression. Lord, help me to put Thy truths and Thy word into my heart that I might know wisdom, how that I might follow after Thee.

Psalm 34-50

“We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favor unto them.” Psalm 44:1-3

Lord, I have gained nothing by my own hand but Thou has given all. Any victory, any position, any possession has all come from Thee. Lord, I praise Thee for the favor that Thou hast shown unto me and for making me as fertile ground that received Thy word and held it. Lord, I pray that I would remain as good ground that I might continually be used by Thee. Help me to know Thy word and Thy Holy Spirit that in the day of judgment, Thou wouldst receive glory.
