Even when I am afraid, I still trust you. What can man do to me? Psalm 56:3,11

For your Word O God, I give you praise, for you have kept my feet from stumbling so that I could walk in your presence, in the light of life. Psalm 56:4,13

I will praise you, Lord, for everyone to hear, and confess your name amongst non-believers. Psalm 57:9

You are gracious to me, O Lord, for my soul takes refuge in you in the shadow of your wings as you shield me from destruction. Psalm 57:1

Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let your glory extend over the whole earth. Psalm 57:5

Your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Psalm 57:10

I sing praises of your strength and joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning for You are my refuge in days of distress. Psalm 58:16

I rejoice as God speaks to me in His holiness; with His help I will do mighty things as He treads down my adversaries. Psalm 60:6,12

You are my tower of strength, O Lord, for You have been a refuge for me as I dwell in Your presence forever. Psalm 61:3,4

I will abide in Your Word forever and sing praises to Your name, Lord Jesus, as I fulfill my vows day after day. Psalm 61:7,8


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.
