Book 1: Psalm 1-41 God’s presence beside us
Nehiloth: A musical notation referring to the flutes. I. Lord, hear me. (1-7) A. A morning hymn 1. Hear my words. 2. Hear my groans. 3. Hear my cry. B. A hopeful hymn 1. I will pray. 2. I will anticipate. 3. God will judge the hearts of men. II. Lord, lead me. (8-12) A. A dependent hymn 1. Lead my faith. 2. Lead my feet. 3. Lead my fears. B. A victorious hymn 1. God will triumph over sinners. 2. God will be praised by His saints. 3. God will bless His people. As we learned in Psalm 1, a godly person will spend much time reading and meditating in the Word of God. In this Psalm, David declares that he meets with God in a time of quiet worship each morning (verse 3). Perhaps our day would go ever so much better if we would but set aside time to read God’s Word and pray.
