Two Sunday quotes

Psalms 83 and 84:

Sunday quote 1:

O God, do not keep silence;

do not hold your peace or be still, O God!

Psalm 83: 1

Sunday quote 2:

My soul longs, indeed it faints for the courts of the Lord;

.....

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God

than live in the tents of wickedness.

Psalm 84: 1, 10

Up to my neck

Psalms 68 and 69:

Sunday quote

I sink in deep mire,

where there is no foothold;

I have come into deep waters,

and the flood sweeps over me.

I am weary with my crying;

my throat is parched.

My eyes grow dim

with waiting for my God.

Psalm 69: 2-3

Sunday quote

Psalms 39 and 40.

Lord, let me know my end,

and what is the measure of my days;

let me know how fleeting my life is.

You have made my days a few handbreadths,

and my lifetime is as nothing in your sight.

Surely everyone stands as a mere breath.

Psalm 39: 4,5

Sunday quote

Readings: Psalms 25 and 26.
Quote for today:

Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,

for they have been from old.

Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;

according to your steadfast love

remember me,

for your goodness' sake, O Lord!

Psalm 25: 6,7

The more things change, the more they stay the same

A quote from my reading of Psalm 11 and 12:

Help, O, Lord, for there is no longer anyone who is godly;

the faithful have disappeared from humankind.

They utter lies to each other;

with flattering hearts and a double heart they speak (12:1-2).

You, O Lord will protect us,

you will guard us from this generation forever (12.7).

Note: On Sundays, I'm taking a pause from blogging, so I'm only posting a quote.
