My Summaries of Psalms 1-11

Psalm 1:
God's blesses those who love and study His Word.
The one who does this is nourished and grows.
God watches over the path of these, the righteous
but those who disobey and disregard God's Word
are on a dead-end journey.

Psalm 2:
Jesus reigns whether we like it or not.

Psalm 3:
God answers my cry.
I will not fear.

Psalm 4:
God, hear me.
God hears us.
gives answers, light, joy,
safety and peace.
Trust in God.
I am safe in you, Lord.

Psalm 5:
I ask and wait.
I bow down.
You give favor, protection
and judgment.

Psalm 6:
Have mercy on me.
Heal me.
Let me live so I may praise you.
The Lord has answered.
Enemies, get back!

Psalm 7:
Lord, people are trying to kill me.
Stop the violence.
Violence will return to the violent.
Only let me die if I've threatened the peaceful.
Thank you, God, for being a righteous judge.

Psalm 8:
Lord, you are awesome
Calling the praise of babies to shut up the devil.
I marvel at your creation,
humbled by your concern for my life
and the responsibilities you've given me
to care for what you've created.
Lord, you are awesome!

Psalm 9:
God, I praise you.
You have destroyed my enemies.
This reigning righteous judge shelters
the oppressed.
Lord, keep me alive so I can praise you!
We know you are just.
Get up and put fear in those that forget you.

Psalm 10:
God, you seem so far away right now.
Greedy people with evil hearts and evil plans
take advantage of the weak and the down and out,
oppress the helpless.
God, punish them.
Please do not forget us.
I know you hear our pleas.
You see what's going on.
You encourage us and defend us.

Psalm 11:
Lovers of violence
war against the righteous
God sees and examines
from His holy heavenly throne.
The wicked will drown in fire.
The righteous will see his face.
