I rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in Him; I praise Him in uprightness of heart. (Psalm 64:10)

Dwelling in Your courts is a blessing since I choose to abide near you and am satisfied in your holiness. (Psalm 65:4)

You answer my petitions with wondrous works for you are the God of my salvation. (Psalm 65:5)

By the strength of your mighty power, you have established the mountains in their place displaying your omnipotence. (Psalm 65:6)

You calm the roaring of the seas, their crashing waves, and the tumult of my heart. (Psalm 65:7)

The whole earth is filled with your wonders and miraculous signs; You make the going forth of the morning and the evening, giving me cause for praise and a shout for joy. (Psalm 65:8)

You have inspected my soul and watered it from your rivers of living water making it ready for the forthcoming harvest of souls. (Psalm 65:9)

Your Word waters my heart, preparing it for fruit-bearing and showers of blessings. (Psalm 65:10)

I shout joyfully unto God, singing the glory of His name and telling the world how glorious He Is. (Psalm 66:1,2)

Because of your greatness and power and wonderful deeds in all the earth, I will sing praises to You and will encourage others to worship You. (Psalm 66:2,4)

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.
