Psalm 63. When I was in tenth grade a Roman Catholic Apostalate and band, Remnant, sang a song titled Psalm 63 and it still speaks to me today.
“Oh God, you are my God–for you I long! For you my body yearns; for you my soul thirsts, like a land parched, lifeless, and without water. So I look to you in the sanctuary to see your power and glory. For your love is better than life; my lips offer you worship! I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands, calling on your name. My soul shall savor the rich banquet of praise, with joyous lips my mouth shall honor you! When I think of you upon my bed, through the night watches I will recall that you are indeed my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy. My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me. But those who seek my life will come to ruin; they shall go down to the depths of the earth! They shall be handed over to the sword and become the prey of jackals! But the king shall rjoice in God; all who swear by the Lord shall exult, for the mouths ofliars will be shut!” Psalm 63
The song lyrics are…
"Oh God, you are the God whom I seek. For you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts, like the earth parched lifeless without water. For your kindness is a greater good than mine. My lips shall glorify you. *Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary, (tired and weary), thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary (oh your might and your glory), have I gazed toward you in the anctuary. Oh, down on my knees shall I gaze toward you. *Thus will I bless you while I live. Lift up my hands when I call upon you. As withthe riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied and to exultant lips my mouth shall praise you. *Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary, (tired and weary), thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary (oh your might and your glory), have I gazed toward you in the anctuary. Oh, down on my knees shall I gaze toward you. *I will remember you. I will meditate on you. You are my help, I shout for joy! My soul clings fast to you. Your right hand upholds me. They shall be destroyed who seek my life. *Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary, (tired and weary), thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary (oh your might and your glory), have I gazed toward you in the anctuary. Oh, down on my knees shall I gaze toward you. *(c) 2000 Remnant Catholic Apostolate
The music to the song is soooooooo beautiful! It carries great meaning for me, in many ways. GREAT poll topic!

I have always loved Psalm 22, the psalm we read during Palm Sunday (especially when it is sung using the GIA music) and Psalm 51 (De Profundis). In fact, I try to pray Psalm 51 as I’m kneeling down after having received communion. I would like Psalm 51 sung at my funeral.
In fact, I like Psalm 22 much better than the one that is used for Good Friday. The GIA setting (found in the Worship III hymnal) is very powerful and almost sounds Gregorian. I always looked forward to singing that during Palm Sunday Mass.

The de Profundis (“Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD …”) is Psalm 130. Psalm 51 is the Miserere (“Have mercy on me, O God …”).
My personal favourite is Psalm 23 - “The LORD is my shepherd”, which I know off by heart

The penitential psalms are my favorites. Sorry to say, but I am not all that fond of the 23rd psalm (heresy I know).

That’s what happens when I’m trying to concentrate and my mini dachshund wants me to rub her belly (she thinks that’s the most important thing in the world!).

Ps 122: I was glad when they said to me, let us go unto the Lord’s House.

Actually, I’ve never seen Bible verses on pizza or pizza boxes, but there is a brand of frozen pie called “Edwards”. They have Bible verses, usually from Psalms or Proverbs, on their pie tins. Whenever I have an Edwards pie, I always look for the Bible verse on the tin.Ps 122: I was glad when they said to me, let us go unto the Lord’s House.

Good call. Psalm 51 is another very good Psalm:
“O Lord, open my lips, that my mouth may declare Your praise”
Miserere Dei
“O Lord, open my lips, that my mouth may declare Your praise”
Miserere Dei

Psalm 136 is the best!It says how much God loves us and lists some of the wonderful things he has done.It shows that we should give thanks to him.I have even writted a hymn about it.
‘Give thanks to the Lord, God of Heaven.For His steadfast love endures forever.’
‘Give thanks to the Lord, God of Heaven.For His steadfast love endures forever.’

I can’t choose!
Man, let’s start at the beginning… Well, AHH!! I can’t decide. I love them all, but if I had to pick a few that really mean something special to me on a very personal level, let’s see…
Then a few that immediately come to mind are 22, 77, 91, 103, 116, 117, 119, 130, 139, 145, 148, 149, and 150… I love the constant praise of God and the frankness of the Psalms!
Awesome book…
