Even though I haven't blogged verses for a while I did continue reading the Psalms up until a month ago. Then I started again today. 

I always wrote down some verses that stood out from each chapter in my notebook, like usual. And now I want to post them.

Read Psalms 11-12
Psalm 11:1a, 7
 1 In the LORD I take refuge. 
 7 For the LORD is righteous, 
       he loves justice; 
       upright men will see his face.

Psalms 12:6-7
5 "Because of the oppression of the weak 
       and the groaning of the needy, 
       I will now arise," says the LORD. 
       "I will protect them from those who malign them."

6 And the words of the LORD are flawless, 
like silver refined in a furnace of clay, 
purified seven times.
7 O LORD, you will keep us safe 
and protect us from such people forever.

Read Psalms 13-14
Psalms 13:5-6
5 But I trust in your unfailing love; 
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
 6 I will sing to the LORD, 
for he has been good to me.

Psalms 14:1
 1 The fool [a] says in his heart, 
       "There is no God." 
       They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; 
       there is no one who does good.
a. Psalm 14:1 The Hebrew words rendered fool in Psalms denote one who is morally deficient.

Read Psalms 15-16
Psalm 15
 1 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? 
       Who may live on your holy hill?

 2 He whose walk is blameless 
       and who does what is righteous, 
       who speaks the truth from his heart

 3 and has no slander on his tongue, 
       who does his neighbor no wrong 
       and casts no slur on his fellowman,

 4 who despises a vile man 
       but honors those who fear the LORD, 
       who keeps his oath 
       even when it hurts,

 5 who lends his money without usury 
       and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. 
       He who does these things 
       will never be shaken.

Psalms 16:8

 8 I have set the LORD always before me. 
       Because he is at my right hand, 
       I will not be shaken.
