As for me, I look to the LORD for help.

I wait confidently for God to save me,

and my God will certainly hear me.

…The LORD will bring me into the light,

and I will see his righteousness.

Micah 7:7, 9

I said to myself, “I will watch what I do

and not sin in what I say.

I will hold my tongue

when the ungodly are around me.”

But as I stood there in silence—

not even speaking of good things—

the turmoil within me grew worse.

The more I thought about it,

the hotter I got, 

igniting a fire of words”

Psalm 39:1-3

I will say of the LORD,

“He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

Psalm 91:2

…he will swallow up death forever.

The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears

from all faces…

Isaiah 25:8

Seventy years are given to us!

Some even live to eighty.

But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble;

soon they disappear, and we fly away.

Teach us to realize the brevity of life,

so that we may grow in wisdom.

Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love,

so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.

Psalm 90:10, 12, 14

The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours;

everything in the world is yours–you created it all.

Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship,

for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD.

Psalm 89:11, 15

All heaven will praise your great wonders, LORD;

myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness.

For who in all of heaven can compare with the LORD?

What mightiest angel is anything like the LORD?

the highest angelic powers stand in awe of God.

He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne.

O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies!

Psalm 89:5-8

Bend down, O LORD, and hear my prayer;

answer me, for I need your help.

No pagan god is like you, O Lord;

None can do what you do!

For you are great and perform wonderful deeds.

You alone are God.

Psalm 86:1, 8, 10

Now restore us again, O God of our salvation…

Won’t you revive us again,

so your people can rejoice in you?

Show us your unfailing love, O LORD,

and grant us your salvation.

Psalm 85:4, 6-7

A single day in your courts

is better than a thousand anywhere else!

I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God

than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.

For the LORD God is our sun and our shield.

He gives us grace and glory.

The LORD will withhold no good thing

from those who do what is right.

O LORD of Heaven’s Armies,

what joy for those who trust in you.

Psalm 84:10-12
