Psalms 52-58

Given the current times, these passages spoke to me.

The righteous will see, and fear, and will laugh at the evildoer, saying, "See the one who would not take refuge in God, but trusted in abundant riches, and sought refuge in wealth." 52.6-7

I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever. I will thank you forever, because of what you have done. In the presence of the faithful I will proclaim your name, for it is good. 52.8b-9

Fools say in their hearts, "There is no God," 53.1a

Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. 55.22

O Most High, when I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid; what can flesh do to me? 56.3-4

In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, in God I trust, I am not afraid, What can a mere mortal do to me? 56.10-11

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, until the destroying storms pass by. 57.1

Throughout these Psalms we read of difficult times and circumstances, but always the Psalmists trusts in God. We can learn from these.
