Psalm 25 - This Psalm is helpful when you are making decisions and seeking God's will.  Giving Him glory, waiting on Him, seeking Him, and confessing sin are all part of learning God's way and then submitting to His leading.

Psalm 29 - God's power in the storm and His display of His glory are seen in this Psalm.  The thunder is likened to God's voice in all its mighty power!

Psalm 33 - Give God praise in music and listen to His Word.  God shows His wisdom in creation.  People who follow Him show their wisdom.  Victory comes from God apart from human strength.

Psalm 36 - The wicked rebel against God and live in their sin.  In contrast God shows His mercy and righteousness to people who seek Him. 

Psalm 39 - This Psalm reminds us of the brevity of life.  David recognizes his distress comes from his own rebellious acts.  He has times of silence before God and then cries out to Him for healing.  He knows God is great and David is aware of his own weakness.
