Checking weather near Katy, Texas.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.
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?
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Be still, and know that I am God.
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
