Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
Psalm 4:8
In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
Psalm 27:1,4,14
The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
One thing have I asked of the LORD,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to inquire in his temple.
Wait for the LORD;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the LORD!

and he will give you the desires of your heart.

I will be exalted in the earth!”

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Cast your burden on the LORD,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.

I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.

Unless the LORD builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.

Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!
