What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?

Psalm 8:1-9

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? 
You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
Why?
How magistery our God who created this universal, and how good is our Lord who cares for human beings.
Our Lord created many animals in the wild, birds in the sky, and fish in the sea, even now we can not understand what is going on?
How?
Praise the Lord. How great the work of your fingers is. May my heart and mind be with the Lord and led under the Holy Spirit.

My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart

Psalm 7:1-17 

Lord my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me.

Lord my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands— if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe— then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust. 
Let the assembled peoples gather around you, while you sit enthroned over them on high.  Let the Lord judge the peoplesVindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High. Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure— you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts.
My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heartGod is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.
Whoever is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment. Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit they have made.
I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;  I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High.
Why?
David fully depended on the Lord, David prayed to the Lord to save him from enemies.
David always followed the words of the Lord, if he did something wrong may the Lord judge him.
How?
So am I will give thanks to the Lord and sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High.

Deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love

Psalm 6:1-10

Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrathHave mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint; heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony. My soul is in deep anguish. How long, Lord, how long?  
Turn, Lord, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing loveAmong the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave?
Away from me, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weepingThe Lord has heard my cry for mercythe Lord accepts my prayerAll my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
Why?
do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. For under God's anger or wrath, no one can stand on. We accept God's rebuke and discipline, it is good to us.
Turn to me, Lord, and deliver me; save me because of God's unfailing love.
The Lord hears my prayer, so I don't worry.
How?
Pray to the Lord and trust in the Lord, for his unfailing love.


Listen to my words, Lord, consider my lament

 Psalm 5:1-12

Listen to my words, Lordconsider my lament. Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;  with you, evil people are not welcome. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong; you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, Lord, detest. But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

Why?

My heart is sad and full of worry, I confess I am nothing.

May the Lord save me from worry and hopeless.

How?

I know the Lord is my refuge and my fortress.

Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the Lord

 Psalm 4:1-8

Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him.

Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the Lord.

Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?” Let the light of your face shine on us.
Fill my heart with joy when their grain and new wine abound. In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lordmake me dwell in safety.

Why?

Pray to the Lord for the Lord to listen to the righteous man's prayer.

What sacrifice is offered to the Lord, the best one is righteousness.

For the Lord is my fortress and my savior, I will lie down and sleep in peace. How wonderful when I can lie down and sleep.

Joy is better than grain and new wine abounds.

How?

Reply to the Lord and have faith in Him. there is more joy and peace with me.

From the Lord comes deliverance

 Psalm:3:1-8

Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”

But you, Lord, are a shield around memy glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the Lordand he answers me from his holy mountain.

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.

Arise, LordDeliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

From the Lord comes deliverance May your blessing be on your people.

Why?

David was rescued from the enemy's attack, so David prayed to the Lord and gave thanks to the Lord.

Lord is a shield around me, I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side. Because the Lord is my shield around me.

How?

Can I have faith in the Lord like David? Praise the Lord for God is my shield. The Lord comes to my deliverance.

Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling

 Psalm 2:1-12

The One enthroned in heaven laughsthe Lord scoffs at them. He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”

 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree: I will proclaim the Lord’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your fatherAsk me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. You will break them with a rod of iron you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear  and celebrate his rule with tremblingKiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.


Why?

You are my son, today I have become your father. This one is Jesus Christ.

All of us should serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling. We don't fear the evil one in the world but fear the Lord, even when we have tough times all of these pressures or difficulties are good for us, God leads us and lets us learn the truth and know God's love.

Trouble can let us know how our life is in God's eyes.

How?

Don't be afraid of a collision of people, all of these are allowed by the Lord and let us learn what we need to upgrade our faith.
