52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Psalms 42

1

To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. As a hart longs for flowing streams, so longs my soul for thee, O God.

2

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and behold the face of God?

3

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

4

These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I went with the throng, and led them in procession to the house of God, with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

5

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help

6

and my God. My soul is cast down within me, therefore I remember thee from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

7

Deep calls to deep at the thunder of thy cataracts; all thy waves and thy billows have gone over me.

8

By day the LORD commands his steadfast love; and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

9

I say to God, my rock: "Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

10

As with a deadly wound in my body, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me continually, "Where is your God?"

11

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God.

Psalms 43

1

Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people; from deceitful and unjust men deliver me!

2

For thou art the God in whom I take refuge; why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3

Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me, let them bring me to thy holy hill and to thy dwelling!

4

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy; and I will praise thee with the lyre, O God, my God.

5

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God.

Psalms 44

1

To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what deeds thou didst perform in their days, in the days of old:

2

thou with thy own hand didst drive out the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them thou didst set free;

3

for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm give them victory; but thy right hand, and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance; for thou didst delight in them.

4

Thou art my King and my God, who ordainest victories for Jacob.

5

Through thee we push down our foes; through thy name we tread down our assailants.

6

For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me.

7

But thou hast saved us from our foes, and hast put to confusion those who hate us.

8

In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to thy name for ever. [Selah]

9

Yet thou hast cast us off and abased us, and hast not gone out with our armies.

10

Thou hast made us turn back from the foe; and our enemies have gotten spoil.

11

Thou hast made us like sheep for slaughter, and hast scattered us among the nations.

12

Thou hast sold thy people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them.

13

Thou hast made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those about us.

14

Thou hast made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.

15

All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,

16

at the words of the taunters and revilers, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger.

17

All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten thee, or been false to thy covenant.

18

Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from thy way,

19

that thou shouldst have broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with deep darkness.

20

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

21

would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

22

Nay, for thy sake we are slain all the day long, and accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

23

Rouse thyself! Why sleepest thou, O Lord? Awake! Do not cast us off for ever!

24

Why dost thou hide thy face? Why dost thou forget our affliction and oppression?

25

For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our body cleaves to the ground.

26

Rise up, come to our help! Deliver us for the sake of thy steadfast love!
