Daily Wisdom Plan

Wise people seek wisdom, and where better to look than in books about wisdom. Join us as we walk through the books of Psalms, Proverbs, and Song of Solomon.

Today, we are reading Psalms 85, 86, 87.

Psalms 85

1	To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD, thou hast been favorable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2	Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3	Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
4	Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5	Wilt thou be angry with us forever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6	Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7	Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
8	I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9	Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10	Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11	Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12	Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13	Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

Psalms 86

1	A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2	Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3	Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4	Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5	For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6	Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7	In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8	Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9	All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10	For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
11	Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12	I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name forevermore.
13	For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14	O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15	But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16	O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17	Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

Psalms 87

1	A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2	The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3	Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
4	I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
5	And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
6	The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
7	As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
