Chronological Plan
Read the Bible in the order that the events happened.
Today, we are reading 1 Samuel 18-20; Psalm 11, 59.
| 1 | To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? |
| 2 | For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. |
| 3 | If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? |
| 4 | The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. |
| 5 | The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. |
| 6 | Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. |
| 7 | For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. |
| 1 | To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. |
| 2 | Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. |
| 3 | For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. |
| 4 | They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold. |
| 5 | Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. |
| 6 | They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. |
| 7 | Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? |
| 8 | But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. |
| 9 | Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defense. |
| 10 | The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. |
| 11 | Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. |
| 12 | For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. |
| 13 | Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. |
| 14 | And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. |
| 15 | Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. |
| 16 | But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. |
| 17 | Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy. |
