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 29, 30, 31, 32.

Psalms 29

1	A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
2	Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
3	The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.
4	The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
5	The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6	He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
7	The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
8	The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
9	The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.
10	The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King forever.
11	The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

Psalms 30

1	A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2	O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3	O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4	Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5	For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6	And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7	LORD, by thy favor thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8	I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
9	What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10	Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11	Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12	To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever.

Psalms 31

1	To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2	Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me.
3	For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
4	Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
5	Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
6	I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
7	I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8	And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
9	Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10	For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11	I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
12	I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13	For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14	But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
15	My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16	Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
17	Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18	Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19	Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20	Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21	Blessed be the LORD: for he hath showed me his marvelous kindness in a strong city.
22	For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23	O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24	Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

Psalms 32

1	A Psalm of David, Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2	Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3	When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4	For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5	I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6	For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7	Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8	I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
9	Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
10	Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11	Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
