NAMES OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

 

MY SHEPHERD

February 1 Psalm 23:1-6 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.  He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul.  He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.  Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.  You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.  You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.  Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

 

THE KING OF GLORY

February 2 Psalm 24:7-10 Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.  Who is this King of glory?  The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.  Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.  Who is He, this King of glory?  The Lord Almighty—He is the King of glory.

 

THE LORD STRONG AND MIGHTY

February 3 Psalm 24:7-10 Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory?  The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.  Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.  Who is He, this King of glory?  The Lord Almighty—He is the King of glory.

 

THE LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE

February 4 Psalm 24:7-10 Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory?  The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.  Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.  Who is He, this King of glory?  The Lord Almighty—He is the King of glory.

 

THE STRONGHOLD OF MY LIFE

February 5 Psalm 27:1-3 The Lord is my light and my salvation--whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?  When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.  Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.

 

LORD, THE GOD OF TRUTH

February 6 Psalm 31:1-8 In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness.  Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.  Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.  Free me from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge.  Into your hands I commit my spirit; redeem me from the trap that is set before me, for you are my refuge.  Into your hands I commit my spirit; redeem me, O Lord, the God of truth.  I hate those to cling to worthless idols, I trust in the Lord.  I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul.  You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.

 

MY HIDING PLACE

February 7 Psalm 32:6-7 Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him.  You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

 

MY HELP AND MY DELIVERER

February 8 Psalm 40:17 Yet I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

 

THE LIVING GOD

February 9 Psalm 42:1-2 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.  My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.  When can I go and meet with God?

 

THE GOD OF MY LIFE

February 10 Psalm 42:8-11 By day the Lord directs His love, at night His song is with me—a prayer to the God of my life.  I say to God my Rock, “Why have you forgotten me?  Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?”  My bones suffer mortal agony, as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, “Where is your God?”  Why are you downcast, O my soul?  Why so disturbed within me?  Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

 

GOD MY STRONGHOLD

February 11 Psalm 43:1-4 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; rescue me from deceitful and wicked men.  You are God my stronghold.  Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?  Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountains, to the place where you dwell.  Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my love and my delight.  I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.

 

THE MOST EXCELLENT OF MEN

February 12 Psalm 45:1-2 My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.  You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever.

 

AN EVER-PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE

February 13 Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

 

THE LORD MOST HIGH

February 14 Psalm 47:1-2 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.  How awesome is the Lord Most High, the great King over all the earth!  He subdued nations under us, peoples under our feet.  He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loved.  God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.  Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

 

THE GREAT KING OVER ALL THE EARTH

February 15 Psalm 47:1-2 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.  How awesome is the Lord Most High, the great King over all the earth!  He subdued nations under us, peoples under our feet.  He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loved.  God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.  Since praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

 

OUR GOD FOR EVER AND EVER

February 16 Psalm 48:10-14 Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness.  Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments.  Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers, consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation.  For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end. 

 

OUR GUIDE EVEN TO THE END

February 17 Psalm 48:10-14 Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness.  Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments.  Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers, consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation.  For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end. 

 

THE ROCK THAT IS HIGHER THAN I

February 18 Psalm 61:1-5 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.  From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.  For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.  For I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.  For you have heard my vows, O God; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

 

A STRONG TOWER AGAINST THE FOE

February 19 Psalm 61:1-5 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.  From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.  For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.  For I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.  For you have heard my vows, O God; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

 

A STRANGER AND AN ALIEN

February 20 Psalm 69:7-9 For I endure scorn for your sake, and shame covers my face.  I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my own mother’s son; for zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.

 

RAIN FALLING ON A MOWN FIELD

February 21 Psalm 72:1-7 Endow the king with your justice, O God, the royal son with your righteousness.  He will judge your people in righteousness, your afflicted ones with justice.  The mountains will bring prosperity to the people, the hills the fruit of righteousness.  He will defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy; He will crush the oppressor.  He will endure as long as the sun, as long as the moon, through all generations.  He will be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth.  In His days the righteous will flourish; prosperity will abound till the moon is no more.

 

OUR SHIELD

February 22 Psalm 84:8-9 Hear my prayer, O Lord God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob.  Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.

 

YOUR (GOD’S) ANOINTED ONE

February 23 Psalm 84:8-9 Hear my prayer, O Lord God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob.  Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.

 

THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL

February 24 Psalm 89:14-18 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.  Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord.  They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness.  For you are their glory and strength, and by your favor you exalt our horn.  Indeed, our shield belongs to the Lord, our king to the Holy One of Israel.

 

OUR DWELLING PLACE

February 25 Psalm 90:1-2 Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.  Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

 

THE ROCK IN WHOM I TAKE REFUGE

February 26 Psalm 94:20-23 Can a corrupt throne be allied with you—one that brings on misery by its decrees?  They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.  But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.  He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the Lord our God will destroy them.

 

THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION

February 27 Psalm 95:1-7a Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.  Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song.  For the Lord is the great God, the Great King above all gods.  In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him.  The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker, for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care. 

 

THE LORD OF ALL THE EARTH

February 28 Psalm 97:4-7, 9 His (the Lord’s) lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.  The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.  The heavens proclaim His righteousness, and all the peoples see His glory.  All who worship images are put to shame, those who boast in idols—worship Him, all you gods. For you, O Lord, are the Most High over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.
