Psalms for strength

When you need courage, endurance, or steadiness, these Psalms give you language to lean on instead of vague optimism.

The Lord is my light

Confidence in God’s presence when enemies press in and when waiting is long.

The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? … One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I seek: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

Open psalm

As the deer longs

Thirst for God when God feels absent; hope commands the soul to remember his help.

As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; so my soul panteth after thee, O God. … Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

De profundis — Out of the depths

Cry from the depths with waiting for the Lord; with him is plenteous redemption.

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice. … With the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
