Readings for:
Monday, July 8: Psalm 120 – 125 

Psalm 120

I love the title of this Psalm, “A Prayer for Deliverance from Slanderers.” Perhaps in our society today, it might be good for us to recite this over and over. “Deliver me, O Lord from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.” (v. 2)

Psalm 121

Familiar words, that have been made much more familiar by many Christian music artist:

I lift up my eyes to the hills – from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
(V. 1 & 2)

Psalm 122

One of the radio stations I listen to always has small daily clip of people who have called into the station offering their prayers for Jerusalem. Even today, prayer is needed, just as it was needed when the Psalmist wrote this Psalm. Together we pray for “peace in Jerusalem.”

Psalm 123

A great plea, “Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us!” (V. 3)

Psalm 124

In these words of thanksgiving, there is the constant reminder of who is on our side. And who would it be? Of course, it is none other than God!

Psalm 125

“Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
Which cannot be moved, but abide forever.”
(V. 1)
