I like trying to read through the Psalms in a month. It's actually pretty easy to do. There are thirty days in each month. If you read five psalms a day beginning with the the current date, you would read through the Psalms in a month. Begin with the current date and read the corresponding psalm. Then add 30 to that date and read that psalm. Keep adding 30 until you have read five psalms. Since Psalm 119 (which falls on the 29th day of the month) is long, I suggest that you read only this Psalm on the months that have 31 days (January, March, May, July, August, October and December). Similarly, you can read the entire book of Proverbs in a month by reading the proverb that corresponds with the date.
So today, I read Psalm 8, 38, 68, 98,128 and Proverbs 8. I was especially excited this morning, because Psalm 8 is one of my favorite psalms. And after enduring a cloudy and dismal Monday, I awoke to blue skies and bright sunshine.
O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
Yet you have made him a little lower than the [angles],
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
-Psalm 8:1-9 ESV
