Why Have You Forsaken Me? - Psalm 19-22

The Law of Yahweh Is Perfect

[1] For the choir director. A Psalm of David. 

The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And the expanse is declaring the work of His hands. 

[Psa 19:1 LSB]

[7] The law of Yahweh is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of Yahweh is sure, making wise the simple. 

[8] The precepts of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes. 

[Psa 19:7-8 LSB]

[14] Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Yahweh, my rock and my Redeemer. 

[Psa 19:14 LSB]

We Will Boast in the Name of Yahweh

[7] Some [boast] in chariots and some in horses, But we will boast in the name of Yahweh, our God. 

[Psa 20:7 LSB]

The King Trusts in Yahweh

[13] Be exalted, O Yahweh, in Your strength; We will sing and praise Your might. 

[Psa 21:13 LSB]
