Psalm 63-64

As you read, keep in mind our two questions:What things in this Psalm can I relate to?Is there anything in the Psalm that makes me think of Jesus?PSALM 63A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.1 O God, You are my God.Earnestly I seek You;my soul thirsts for You.My body yearns for Youin a dry and weary land without water.2 So I have seen You in the sanctuaryand beheld Your power and glory.3 Because Your loving devotion is better than life,my lips will glorify You.4 So I will bless You as long as I live;in Your name I will lift my hands.5 My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods;with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.6 When I remember You on my bed,I think of You through the watches of the night.7 For You are my help;I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.8 My soul clings to You;Your right hand upholds me.9 But those who seek my life to destroy itwill go into the depths of the earth.10 They will fall to the power of the sword;they will become a portion for foxes.11 But the king will rejoice in God;all who swear by Him will exult,for the mouths of liars will be shut.PSALM 64For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.1 Hear, O God, my voice of complaint;preserve my life from dread of the enemy.2 Hide me from the scheming of the wicked,from the mob of workers of iniquity,3 who sharpen their tongues like swordsand aim their bitter words like arrows,4 ambushing the innocent in seclusion,shooting suddenly, without fear.5 They hold fast to their evil purpose;they speak of hiding their snares.“Who will see them?” they say.6 They devise injustice and say,“We have perfected a secret plan.”For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.7 But God will shoot them with arrows;suddenly they will be wounded.8 They will be made to stumble,their own tongues turned against them.All who see will shake their heads.9 Then all mankind will fearand proclaim the work of God;so they will ponder what He has done.10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORDand take refuge in Him;let all the upright in heart exult.REFLECTIONSNow think about the two questions:What things in this Psalm can I relate to?Is there anything in the Psalm that makes me think of Jesus?Then pray, seeking to delight in God or to depend on God.
