I love Psalm 16:

Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
I love verse 6:
Psalm 16:6
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.

Thank-you! Psalm 40: 'He brought me also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock and established my goings' and put 'a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God', is quite similar also. :)

Psalm 40 was our psalm this morning.

Jesus truly is touched with the feeling of our infirmaties!

Much love!

@MrBebe Thanks for your 'like'. Do you have favorite Psalms?
Even though I've read the Bible from cover to cover twice, I've not focused on Psalms as of yet. It is known that the book is a great mine of knowledge not just of what will happen in the future at the vantage point in time of its writing but of wisdom that's not of man. I can't tell that I have a favorite in the book maybe because of my lack of knowledge. Thank you for pointing me to Psalms.

There is so much in the Psalms; the highs, the lows, the extremes of emotion and experience, the Messianic content, the faith. They are inexhaustible. :)

Have you heard the 'Psalms Alive' CDs. I sang some of them with the choir I was in at one time. They are lovely. You can probably find them on You tube. This one is Psalm 86.

All of psalm 139 and I have to look the address up, "Search me Oh God and know my heart. Try me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way."
