Favorite verses from Psalms



Psalm 74:22 

Rise up, O God, and defend your cause;
    remember how fools mock you all day long.


Psalm 75:6-7 

No one from the east or the west
    or from the desert can exalt themselves.

It is God who judges:
    He brings one down, he exalts another.


Psalm 78:2 

I will open my mouth with a parable;
    I will utter hidden things, things from of old—


Psalm 78:34-39 

Whenever God slew them, they would seek him;
    they eagerly turned to him again.

They remembered that God was their Rock,
    that God Most High was their Redeemer.

But then they would flatter him with their mouths,
    lying to him with their tongues;

their hearts were not loyal to him,
    they were not faithful to his covenant.

Yet he was merciful;
    he forgave their iniquities
    and did not destroy them.
Time after time he restrained his anger
    and did not stir up his full wrath.

He remembered that they were but flesh,
    a passing breeze that does not return.
