Psalm 1:1-6, NIV
 

Due - September 14
 

1. Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
 

2. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
 

3. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
 

4. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
 

5. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
 

6. For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
 

2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
 

3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
 

4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.
 

5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
 

6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
 

7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
 

8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
 

9 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.

Psalm 51:10-19, NIV 

Due – November 9
 

10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
 

11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
 

12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
 

13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you.
 

14 Save me from bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
 

15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.
 

16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
 

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
 

18 In your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.
 

19 Then there will be righteous sacrifices, whole burnt offerings to delight you; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

1 The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;
 

2 for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
 

3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place?
 

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false.
 

5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior.
 

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob. Selah
 

7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
 

8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
 

9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
 

10 Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty—He is the King of glory. Selah

Psalm 37:1-11, NIV 

Due – January 18

1 Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong;
 

2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
 

3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
 

4 Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart.
 

5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him and He will do this:
 

6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
 

7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
 

8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.
 

9 For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
 

10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
 

11 But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.

Psalm 37:12-20, NIV 

Due – February 15
 

12 The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them;
 

13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for He knows their day is coming.
 

14 The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.
 

15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
 

16 Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked;
 

17 for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
 

18 The days of the blameless are known to the LORD, and their inheritance will endure forever.
 

19 In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
 

20 But the wicked will perish: The LORD's enemies will be like the beauty of the fields, they will vanish—vanish like smoke.

Psalm 37:21-29, NIV 

Due – March 14

21 The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;
 

22 those the LORD blesses will inherit the land, but those He curses will be cut off.
 

23 If the LORD delights in a man's way, He makes his steps firm;
 

24 though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds Him with his hand.
 

25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.
 

26 They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed.
 

27 Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.
 

28 For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake His faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the

wicked will be cut off;
 

29 the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.

Psalm 37:30-40, NIV 

Due – April 18

30 The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just.
 

31 The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip.
 

32 The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, seeking their very lives;
 

33 but the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
 

34 Wait for the LORD and keep His way.  He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
 

35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a green tree in its native soil,
 

36 but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found.
 

37 Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a future for the man of peace.
 

38 But all sinners will be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.
 

39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; He is their stronghold in time of trouble.
 

40 The LORD helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in Him.

Psalm 121:1-8, NIV 

Due – May 16
 

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from?
 

2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
 

3 He will not let your foot slip—He who watches over you will not slumber;
 

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
 

5 The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
 

6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
 

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—He will watch over your life;
 

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
