Meditation: Scriptures from Psalm 61-65 [AMP]

Psalm 61

2 From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help].

3 For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me,
A strong tower against the enemy.

4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

Psalm 62

1 For God alone my soul waits in silence;
From Him comes my salvation.

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
My defense and my strong tower; I will not be shaken or disheartened.

--

6 He only is my rock and my salvation;
My fortress and my defense, I will not be shaken or discouraged.

7 On God my salvation and my glory rest;
He is my rock of [unyielding] strength, my refuge is in God.

8 Trust [confidently] in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him. God is a refuge for us. 

--

11 God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.

12 Also to You, O Lord, belong lovingkindness and compassion,
For You compensate every man according to [the value of] his work.

Psalm 63

1 O God, You are my God; with deepest longing I will seek You;
My [a]soul [my life, my very self] thirsts for You, my flesh longs and sighs for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

2 So I have gazed upon You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.

3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.

4 So will I bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.

--

6 When I remember You on my bed,
I meditate and thoughtfully focus on You in the night watches,

7 For You have been my help,
And in the shadow of Your wings [where I am always protected] I sing for joy.

8 My [c]soul [my life, my very self] clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me.

Psalm 64

10 The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in Him;
All the upright in heart will glory and offer praise.

Psalm 65

4 Blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts.
We will be filled with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

5 By awesome and wondrous things You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation,
You who are the trust and hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

--

11 You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. [NKJV]
