Some reflections on the psalms

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation.

--Psalm 5:3 (NIV)


Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

--Psalm 62:5-6 (NIV)


Blessed are those you choose
and bring near to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of your house,
of your holy temple.

--Psalm 65:4 (NIV)


But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation always say,
"Let God be exalted!"

--Psalm 70:4 (NIV)
