I like Psalm 145, nasb...

I will extol You, my God, O King, and I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever.

Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.

On the glorious splendor of Your majesty and on Your wonderful works, I will meditate. Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts, and I will tell of Your greatness.

They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness and will shout joyfully of Your righteousness. The Lord is gracious and merciful; slow to anger and great in lovingkindness.

The Lord is good to all, and His mercies are over all His works. All Your works shall give thanks to You, O Lord, and Your godly ones shall bless You.

They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and talk of Your power; to make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts and the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom.

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations. The Lord sustains all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food in due time.

You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them. The Lord keeps all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy. My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever.

Psalm 145: A king - David - extolling the majesty of an infinitely greater King: God Himself!

Blessings.

'Fight the good fight with all thy might' is also a hymn! :)

Hallelujah! Praise God in his Holy Place. Praise him in his great expanse.
Praise him for his mighty works. Praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Praise him with trumpet sounding. Praise him with stringed instrument and harp.
Praise him with tambourine and dancing. Praise him with stringed and wind instruments.
Praise him with loud cymbals. Praise him with reverberating cymbals.
Let everyone who breathes praise the LORD.

(Psalm 150)

Psalm 71:1-5

In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust : let me never be put to confusion . You have never failed me, I have peace and a sound mind
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape : incline thine ear unto me, and save me. Faithful to hear my prayers
3 Be thou my strong habitation, You are whereunto I may continually resort :thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. There is none like You
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man . El Shaddai
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth You are my portion and my delight

I've noticed this is not the only thread that is talking about the Psalms; it's not surprising, either, because they are such a beloved part of Scripture.

Blessings.

[h=3]Psalm 27[/h][1] The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
[2] When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
[3] Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
[4] One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.
[5] For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
[6] And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
[7] Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
[8] When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
[9] Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
[10] When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
[11] Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
[12] Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
[13] I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
[14] Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Toska:

I was with some young people a few years ago - aged about 18 - who memorized this Psalm word-perfect: something that I would find harder to do now...!

Blessings.

Today I read Psalm 56. I love verse three: "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee."

Psalm 117 O praise the Lord, all ye nations : praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.

Ms. bluetopaz :

This is the real short Psalm, right? It just goes to show that it's really possible to say 'more with less', right? :)

Wonderful; my wife and I were reading about a Psalm per day, also, a while back.

Blessings.
