Day 132 – Psalms 65, 66, 67, 69. 70. – (Psalms of God’s glory and awesomeness, and of humility and confession)
Read Psalms 65-67 in one swoop! I’ll highlight phrases and verses.
Psalm 65. “Praise is due to you, O God in Zion.:” “O you, who hear prayer..” “…You atone for our transgressions.”
“Blessed is the one You choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts!” “By awesome deeds, you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation.” “You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.” (Sunrise & sunset)
Psalm 66. “Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of His name, give to Him glorious praise! Say to God, ‘How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.” “Come and see what God has done: He is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.”
“Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. I cried to Him with my mouth, and high praise was on my tongue.” “If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.” “Blessed be God, because He has not rejected my prayer or removed His steadfast love from me!”
Psalm 67. “May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face to shine upon us.” “Let the people praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy.” “,,,let all the ends of the earth fear Him.”
Confess, lament your sin, and plead for God to help. But then praise Him. He is GREAT.
Psalm 69. “Save me, O God!” “O God, You know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you. Let not those who hope in You be put to shame through me, O Lord God of hosts; let not those who see You be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.”
“Answer me, O LORD, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me. Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in distress; make haste to answer me. Draw near to my soul, redeem me….”
“I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify Him with thanksgiving. ” “For the LORD hears the needy and does not despise His own people …” “Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them. For God will save Zion…..”
Psalm 70. “Make haste, O God to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me!” “May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You! May those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!” “But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay!”

Hey, it’s okay to ask God to act quickly! Don’t panic, but pray!
