I love you, Lord God, and you make me strong. (Psalm 18:1)

Jesus is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. (Psalm 18:2)

I call upon you Lord Jesus, You are worthy to be praised, you are my salvation. (Psalm 18:3)

He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters. (Psalm 18:16)

He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because He delights in me. (Psalm 18:19)

Your right hand upholds me, You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping. (Psalm 18:35,36)

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. (Psalm 19:1)

I boast in the name of Jesus, He answers me in the day of trouble and grants me my heart's desire. (Psalm 20:1,4,7)

I shout praises to the LORD! I shout the LORD's praises in the highest heavens. (Psalm 148:1)

I lift up my hands and praise the LORD! I sing to the LORD a new song. I sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful. (Psalm 149:1)

Why pray the Psalm scriptures out loud?

It is hard to think about something other than what you are talking about. Praying out loud the scriptures solves the problem of the wandering mind. -- spoken words speak to the soul and have the power of raising thoughts in the soul. The Psalm scriptures speak of God in the Highest manner which most fully expresses the power and presence of God.

Strong's definition for "meditate" - HAGAH (Greek) - means to imagine. First, pray the scripture out loud -- then pray the scripture back to God. This prayer can be the prayer of thanksgiving, supplication, or praying the greatness of God and the benefits of God.

The first thing that you are to do when you are upon your knees, is to shut your eyes, and with a short silence let your soul place itself in the presence of God.

When you direct any of your petitions to Jesus let it be: thou art the radiance of thy Father's glory. Thou art the Alpha and Omega, The beginning and the end of all things: Thou has destroyed the power of the devil and hast overcome death.
