Praising through Psalms

[Scooby_Snacks]

Oh, how abundant is your goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you
and worked for those who take refuge in you,
in the sight of the children of mankind!
In the cover of your presence you hide them
from the plots of men;
you store them in your shelter
from the strife of tongues.
Blessed be the LORD,
for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me
when I was in a besieged city.
I had said in my alarm,
“I am cut off from your sight.”
But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy
when I cried to you for help.
Love the LORD, all you his saints!
The LORD preserves the faithful
but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the LORD!
(Psalm 31:19-24 ESV)

[justsayin']

Psalm 63:3
"Because your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you."

[turtledove]

Psalm 139:17-18a.

How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand —

[Scooby_Snacks]

You have kept count of my tossings;
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your book?
Then my enemies will turn back
in the day when I call.
This I know, that God is for me.
In God, whose word I praise,
in the LORD, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
(Psalm 56:8-11 ESV)

[Scooby_Snacks]

Let the righteous one rejoice in the LORD
and take refuge in him!
Let all the upright in heart exult!
(Psalm 64:10 ESV)

[KittenSong]

I think we've all sooner or later felt we've had someone watching over us in times of need. Guardian Angels, the Lord, etc...
I love this verse especially for that recollection when I've felt a presence with me.

Psalm 91:11

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

[Scooby_Snacks]

O LORD, you hear the desire of the afflicted;
you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear
to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,
so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.
(Psalm 10:17-18 ESV)

[MyRock]

Amen to this! The psalms are an excellent aid to praise, especially if you cannot find the right words at a certain moment.
