These Psalms are often helpful when the mind feels crowded, fearful, or unsettled. Start with one and stay with it for a few days.
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? … But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence. … All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord.
The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. He hath set me in a place of pasture. … Yea though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me.
God is our hope and strength, a very present help in trouble. … The Lord of hosts is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector. … Be still, and know that I am God.
He that dwelleth in the aid of the Most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of heaven. … Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.
I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me. My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. … The Lord keepeth thee, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.
