Jan 8: Psalm 8; Genesis 27-28

O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who displays Your splendor above the heavens!
•••
When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have established;
What is man that You remember him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
•••
O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Jan 6: Psalm 6; Genesis 22-24

O Yahweh, do not reprove me in Your anger,
Nor discipline me in Your wrath.
Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for I am pining away;
Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are dismayed.
And my soul is greatly dismayed;
But You, O Yahweh—how long?
Return, O Yahweh, rescue my soul;
Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

Jan 5: Psalm 5; Genesis 18-20

Give ear to my words, O Yahweh,
Consider my meditation.
Give heed to the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God,
For to You I pray.
O Yahweh, in the morning, You will hear my voice;
In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.
•••
But let all who take refuge in You be glad,
Let them ever sing for joy;
And may You shelter them,
That those who love Your name may exult in You.
For it is You who blesses the righteous one, O Yahweh,
You surround him with favor as with a large shield.

Jan 4: Psalm 4; Genesis 13-17

Tremble, and do not sin;
Ponder in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And trust in Yahweh.
Many are saying, “Who will show us good?”
Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O Yahweh!
You have put gladness in my heart,
More than when their grain and new wine abound.
In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O Yahweh, make me to abide in safety.

Jan 3: Psalm 3; Genesis 9-12

But You, O Yahweh, are a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
I was calling to Yahweh with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.
I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for Yahweh sustains me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who all around have set themselves against me.
