 ³ In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; 
       in the morning I lay my requests before you 
       and wait in expectation.

 ⁷ But I, by your great mercy, 
       will come into your house; 
       in reverence will I bow down 
       toward your holy temple.

¹¹ But let all who take refuge in you be glad; 
       let them ever sing for joy.

Psalms

I decided to read next the book of Psalms because I read it very seldom.

Today I read the first two chapters.

Psalm 1:1-2, 3c, 

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 ...Whatever he does prospers.

memory verse: Psalm 1:1

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.
