- Use a Bible translation that you are comfortable with. (We use the NRSV [the New Revised Standard Version] in worship.
- Do not rush your reading. Allow yourself to take time with the words.
- Remember that God’s people have been using these same words for more than 2,000 years.
Focus questions: (These are for you to reflect upon after you’ve read the Psalm(s) for the day and/or time.)
- What is the mood of the psalm or the psalmist? Have you ever felt that way? When? Let yourself remember.
- What word or phrase caught your ear or heart? Why did that speak to you?
- What is God’s word for you today, contained in the psalm you just read?
- What does that word ask you to do?

The first number (on the left side of the :) indicates which chapter to look for, and the second set of numbers indicates where to start and stop.
