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. |

Psalm 51:1-9, NIV Due - October 12
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
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. |

Psalm 24:1-10, NIV Due – December 7
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
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
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
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
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
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. |
