Psalm 64 - Tuesday

Psalm 64

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint;
protect my life from the threat of the enemy.

2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
from that noisy crowd of evildoers.

3 They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim their words like deadly arrows.

4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent man;
they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.

5 They encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;
they say, "Who will see them ^[a] ?"

6 They plot injustice and say,
"We have devised a perfect plan!"
Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning.

7 But God will shoot them with arrows;
suddenly they will be struck down.

8 He will turn their own tongues against them
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.

9 All mankind will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God
and ponder what he has done.

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD
and take refuge in him;
let all the upright in heart praise him!

Dellia: The Lord reminds me that I can take refuge in Him.

Chin Ling: It is in God that I remain righteous, that I find the strength to thing noble, good, kind thoughts, and plan actions in his will. As I take refuge in God, I pray he also keep me in check and protect me from the ways of the evil one. Amen.

Crow: at first when i read this psalm, nothing spoke to me... but as i read through verse 10 again, i truly thank the Lord for always being my refuge, for sheltering me and reaching out to me even b4 i reach out to Him.. I know the Lord looks out for me and takes such good care of me. Thank You dear Lord!

Pam: v3-4 reminded me how "posionous" our tongue can be.... learnt to watch what I sae n how I sae.....!

Eunice: God's angel told me this today: "When we worship, we soak in the pressence of God and in His pressence there's fullness of joy and the joy of God is our strength :) another way is to find rest under His wings and not worry or care abt anything else. just make up your mind to do this for awhile u'll feel better." v10 comes in, to re-emphasize God, waving to me, to come n rest under His wings for refuge.. Lord.. Here I come...to be still in your presence and I can praise the Lord... =) !

Sara: vs 9 and 10 is a reminder to me that the Lord delights in those who hear Him and will proclaim of his works and ponder what he has done. Even in the midst of busyness, I would like to find time to find rest in Him and ponder over His goodness in my life and what He brings and has in store each day! Give me not a complaining heart, but a heart filled with thanksgiving!
