As I was reading through Romans 3:10-18, I came to realize the uniqueness in which Paul put the psalms together to describe the brokenness of man. The Psalms are so rich and full of prophecies and every kind of emotion. I decided to take some of the verses in the psalms that I have held close to my hearth and put them together in a coherent, separate psalm.
Can you guess all the psalms that these verses are pulled from?
The earth is
the Lord’s, and everything in it,
The world,
and all who live in it
For he
founded it on the seas
And established
it on the waters
When I consider
your heavens,
The work of
your fingers,
The moon and
the stars
Which you
have set in place.
Where can I go
from your Spirit?
Where can I flee
from your presence?
All the days
ordained for me were written in your book
Before one
of them came to be.
Your eyes
saw my unformed body,
For you
created my inmost being;
You knit me
together in my mother’s womb.
Before a
word is on my tongue
You, Lord,
know it completely
You have set
our iniquities before you,
Our secret
sins in the light of your presence.
My guilt is
not hidden from you.
Yet you
desired faithfulness even in the womb;
You taught
me wisdom in that secret place.
Therefore my
heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
Because you
will not abandon me to the realm of the dead
For you have
delivered me from death
And my feet
from stumbling.
I will be
glad and rejoice in your love.
