Psalm 33:19
to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine

I like the fact that he will keep us alive in famine. I foresee famine in the future.

My favorite Psalm is #23. I just recently read it in five different translations, along with interpretation and commentary. It describes trust in God and faith better than anything else!

The LORD Surrounds His People.
Psa 125:1, [[A Song of degrees.]] They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
Psa 125:2, As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
Psa 125:3, For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
Psa 125:4, Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
Psa 125:5, As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

Psa 35:6, Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
Psa 35:7, For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
Psa 35:8, Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
Psa 35:9, And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

(Psalm continues to verse 28).

Mine or one of them has to be Psalm 23: :)

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."

One would think I would have noticed a 65 page thread that's been going since 2018, LoL.

Mine is similar. Not much of a Psalm guy, but Psalm 1 contains similar elements to Psalm 23:

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
