Psalm 46 The Passion Translation (TPT) God on Our Side  For the Pure and Shining One, by the prophetic singers of Korah’s clan A poetic song to the melody of “Hidden Things” 1 God, you’re such a safe and powerful place to find refuge! You’re a proven help in time of trouble— more than enough and always available whenever I need you. 2 So we will never fear even if every structure of support were to crumble away. We will not fear even when the earth quakes and shakes, moving mountains and casting them into the sea. 3 For the raging roar of stormy winds and crashing waves cannot erode our faith in you. Pause in his presence 4 God has a constantly flowing river whose sparkling streams bring joy and delight to his people. His river flows right through the city of God Most High, into his holy dwelling places. 5 God is in the midst of his city, secure and never shaken. At daybreak his help will be seen with the appearing of the dawn. 6 W...

Psalm 15 The Passion Translation (TPT) Living in the Shining Place  A poetic song, by King David 1 Lord, who dares to dwell with you? Who presumes the privilege of being close to you, living next to you in your shining place of glory? Who are those who daily dwell in the life of the Holy Spirit? 2 They are passionate and wholehearted, always sincere and always speaking the truth— for their hearts are trustworthy. 3 They refuse to slander or insult others; they’ll never listen to gossip or rumors, nor would they ever harm another with their words. 4 They will speak out passionately against evil and evil workers while commending the faithful ones who follow after the truth. They make firm commitments and follow through, even at great cost. 5 They never crush others with exploitation or abuse and they would never be bought with a bribe against the innocent. They will never be shaken; they will stand firm forever. I’ve been seeing ...

Psalm 14 The Passion Translation (TPT) God Looks Down from Heaven[a] For the Pure and Shining One, by King David 1 Only the withering soul would say to himself, “There is no God.” Anyone who thinks like this is corrupt and callous, depraved and detestable, devoid of what is good. 2 The Lord looks down in love, bending over heaven’s balcony, looking over all of Adam’s sons and daughters. He’s looking to see if there is anyone who acts wisely, any who are searching for God and wanting to please him. 3 But no, everyone has wandered astray, walking stubbornly toward evil. Not one is good; he can’t even find one. 4 Look how they live in luxury while exploiting my people! Won’t these workers of wickedness ever learn? They don’t ever even think of praying to God. 5 But just look at them now, in panic, trembling with terror. For the Lord is on the side of the generation of loyal lovers. 6 The Lord is always the safest place for the poo...

Psalm 9  Triumphant Thanks For the Pure and Shining One To the tune of “The Secrets of the Son,” by King David 1 Lord, I will worship you with extended hands as my whole heart explodes with praise! I will tell everyone everywhere about your wonderful works and how your marvelous miracles exceed expectations! 2 I will jump for joy and shout in triumph as I sing your song and make music for the Most High God. 3 For when you appear, I worship while all of my enemies run in retreat. They stumble and perish before your presence. 4 For you have stood up for my cause and vindicated me when I needed you the most. From your righteous throne you have given me justice. 5 With a blast of your rebuke nations are destroyed. You obliterated their names forever and ever. 6 The Lord thundered and our enemies have been cut off, vanished in everlasting ruins. All their cities have been destroyed— even the memory of them has been erased. 7 But...
