52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Psalms 42

1

Psalm 42 For the director of music. A of the Sons of Korah.

1

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.

2

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?

3

My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

4

These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng.

5

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and

6

my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon--from Mount Mizar.

7

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.

8

By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me-- a prayer to the God of my life.

9

I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?"

10

My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

11

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Psalms 43

1

Psalm 43

1

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; rescue me from deceitful and wicked men.

2

You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?

3

Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.

4

Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.

5

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Psalms 44

1

Psalm 44 For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A

1

We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.

2

With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our fathers; you crushed the peoples and made our fathers flourish.

3

It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.

4

You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob.

5

Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes.

6

I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory;

7

but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.

8

In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.

9

But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies.

10

You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.

11

You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.

12

You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale.

13

You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.

14

You have made us a byword among the nations; the peoples shake their heads at us.

15

My disgrace is before me all day long, and my face is covered with shame

16

at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me, because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.

17

All this happened to us, though we had not forgotten you or been false to your covenant.

18

Our hearts had not turned back; our feet had not strayed from your path.

19

But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals and covered us over with deep darkness.

20

If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

21

would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart?

22

Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

23

Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.

24

Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression?

25

We are brought down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground.

26

Rise up and help us; redeem us because of your unfailing love.
