Psalm 1, 2, 16, 119
Great you have discovered Psalm 119! it's long; has plenty of excellent content.
Blessings.
PS: It's truly beloved; and I really like the note of certainty about the believer trusting that s/he will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. The New Testament believer knows this is entirely through resting in the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Cross.

John 11:35 "And Jesus Wept"
[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]Have you ever stopped to wonder what could possibly bring tears to the eyes of God? Can you imagine the face of Jesus moist with his own tears? Are they tears of weakness or of strength? Of fear or compassion?[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]Aside from this instant there are 3 recorded events in the bible where Jesus Cried, and each significantly different:[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]John 11:5 when Jesus arrived in Lazarus' home town and found that Lazarus was dead. These were Tears of Sympathy, Jesus loved Mary, Martha and Lazarus dearly. So his decision to not go to Bethany straight away when he learned that Lazarus was ill, was not only to allow Jesus a chance to demonstrate his divine power, but to connect intimately with Lazarus' sisters, in sharing their pain.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]Luke 19:41-44 Luke records an episode here. As they drew closer to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, Jesus saw the city ahead and he began to weep. This was such a remarkable moment in Jesus' life. Jesus wept as a sign of Sorrow, why? Because they did not accept their opportunity for salvation, which was Jesus. His very own people will crucify him.
Heb 5:7 it records that during the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death. Remember the Garden of Gestemane? These were tears of struggle. When we face life's challenges and when we struggle and our faith is tested, we will cry.
So what is the point I'm trying to make? SIMPLE - SOME THING ARE WORTH CRYING ABOUT!

Ms. Tash: Some great thoughts there.
Maybe you could even start a thread along the lines of what you describe; my idea here was a Psalms thread, but your thoughts are very good.
Blessings.

Ha! It helps if I read everything
Tash: Keep your thoughts coming; they are appreciated! Blessings.
In the Psalms there is such a range of experience and emotion that David (mainly) went through.
It's all recorded for our edification, the highs, the lows.

Psalm 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Father and son, connected by the Spirit of truth from father to us all by the resurrected Christ inj Spirit and truth
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Psalm 78:50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
Wondering, it has always from day one been by the Spirit and truth for life in Father, has it not, live by Faith, is to live in Spirit truth, yes or no?

Psalm 37:4
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
That's a good one.
Psalm 34
[SUP]1[/SUP] I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
Doesn't it seem like some of the OT people must have known God?? I wonder how they were able to do it without Christ??
