'Art' in the Bible

“I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord:He said to Me, ‘You are My Son,Today I have begotten You.

But You, O Lord, are a shield about me,My glory, and the One who lifts my head.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;No evil dwells with You.

I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord;I have no good besides You.”

Yet You are holy,O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb;You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I fear no evil, for You are with me;Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Lead me in Your truth and teach me,For You are the God of my salvation;For You I wait all the day.

For You are my rock and my fortress;For Your name’s sake You will lead me and guide me.

You will pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me,For You are my strength.

But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord,I say, “You are my God.”

You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble;You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

Since I am afflicted and needy,Let the Lord be mindful of me.You are my help and my deliverer;Do not delay, O my God.

By this I know that You are pleased with me,Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.

For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me?Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

You are my King, O God;Command victories for Jacob.

You are fairer than the sons of men;Grace is poured upon Your lips;Therefore God has blessed You forever.

Against You, You only, I have sinnedAnd done what is evil in Your sight,So that You are justified when You speakAnd blameless when You judge.

For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it;You are not pleased with burnt offering.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation,You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary.The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people.Blessed be God!

But I am afflicted and needy;Hasten to me, O God!You are my help and my deliverer;O Lord, do not delay.

Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come;You have given commandment to save me,For You are my rock and my fortress.

For You are my hope;O Lord God, You are my confidence from my youth.

By You I have been sustained from my birth;You are He who took me from my mother’s womb;My praise is continually of You.

I have become a marvel to many,For You are my strong refuge.

You are resplendent,More majestic than the mountains of prey.

You, even You, are to be feared;And who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry?

You are the God who works wonders;You have made known Your strength among the peoples.

For the choir director; set to El Shoshannim; Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph.Oh, give ear, Shepherd of Israel,You who lead Joseph like a flock;You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!

That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord,Are the Most High over all the earth.

For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.

For You are great and do wondrous deeds;You alone are God.

But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

For You are the glory of their strength,And by Your favor our horn is exalted.

“He will cry to Me, ‘You are my Father,My God, and the rock of my salvation.’

Before the mountains were bornOr You gave birth to the earth and the world,Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

But You, O Lord, are on high forever.

Your throne is established from of old;You are from everlasting.

For You are the Lord Most High over all the earth;You are exalted far above all gods.

“But You are the same,And Your years will not come to an end.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!O Lord my God, You are very great;You are clothed with splendor and majesty,

The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind,“You are a priest foreverAccording to the order of Melchizedek.”

You are my God, and I give thanks to You;You are my God, I extol You.

Blessed are You, O Lord;Teach me Your statutes.

You are good and do good;Teach me Your statutes.

You are my hiding place and my shield;I wait for Your word.

Tsadhe.Righteous are You, O Lord,And upright are Your judgments.

You are near, O Lord,And all Your commandments are truth.

A Song of Ascents.To You I lift up my eyes,O You who are enthroned in the heavens!

You scrutinize my path and my lying down,And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.

If I ascend to heaven, You are there;If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.

I said to the Lord, “You are my God;Give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my supplications.

I cried out to You, O Lord;I said, “You are my refuge,My portion in the land of the living.

Teach me to do Your will,For You are my God;Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
