  • Psalm 97 – The LORD Reigns and His People Rejoice

    View Bulletin PDF

    1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;

    let the many coastlands be glad!
    2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;
    righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
    3 Fire goes before him
    and burns up his adversaries all around.
    4 His lightnings light up the world;
    the earth sees and trembles.
    5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
    before the Lord of all the earth.
    6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
    and all the peoples see his glory.
    7 All worshipers of images are put to shame,
    who make their boast in worthless idols;
    worship him, all you gods!
    8 Zion hears and is glad,
    and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
    because of your judgments, O LORD.
    9 For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth;
    you are exalted far above all gods.
    10 O you who love the LORD, hate evil!
    He preserves the lives of his saints;
    he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
    11 Light is sown for the righteous,
    and joy for the upright in heart.
    12 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous,
    and give thanks to his holy name!

  • Psalm 19 – Delighting in the Word

    To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

    1 The heavens declare the glory of God,

    and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
    2 Day to day pours out speech,
    and night to night reveals knowledge.
    3 There is no speech, nor are there words,
    whose voice is not heard.
    4 Their voice goes out through all the earth,
    and their words to the end of the world.
    In them he has set a tent for the sun,
    5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
    and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
    6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
    and its circuit to the end of them,
    and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
    7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
    reviving the soul;
    the testimony of the LORD is sure,
    making wise the simple;
    8 the precepts of the LORD are right,
    rejoicing the heart;
    the commandment of the LORD is pure,
    enlightening the eyes;
    9 the fear of the LORD is clean,
    enduring forever;
    the rules of the LORD are true,
    and righteous altogether.
    10 More to be desired are they than gold,
    even much fine gold;
    sweeter also than honey
    and drippings of the honeycomb.
    11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
    in keeping them there is great reward.
    12 Who can discern his errors?
    Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
    13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
    let them not have dominion over me!
    Then I shall be blameless,
    and innocent of great transgression.
    14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
    be acceptable in your sight,
    O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

  • Psalm 36 – The Precious Love of God

    To the choirmaster. Of David, the servant of the LORD.

    1 Transgression speaks to the wicked

    deep in his heart;
    there is no fear of God
    before his eyes.
    2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes
    that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
    3 The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit;
    he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
    4 He plots trouble while on his bed;
    he sets himself in a way that is not good;
    he does not reject evil.
    5 Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the clouds.
    6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
    your judgments are like the great deep;
    man and beast you save, O LORD.
    7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
    The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
    8 They feast on the abundance of your house,
    and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
    9 For with you is the fountain of life;
    in your light do we see light.
    10 Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you,
    and your righteousness to the upright of heart!
    11 Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,
    nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
    12 There the evildoers lie fallen;
    they are thrust down, unable to rise.

  • Psalm 84 – Satisfaction for a Longing Soul

    To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

    1 How lovely is your dwelling place,

    O LORD of hosts!
    2 My soul longs, yes, faints
    for the courts of the LORD;
    my heart and flesh sing for joy
    to the living God.
    3 Even the sparrow finds a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may lay her young,
    at your altars, O LORD of hosts,
    my King and my God.
    4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
    ever singing your praise! Selah
    5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
    in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
    6 As they go through the Valley of Baca
    they make it a place of springs;
    the early rain also covers it with pools.
    7 They go from strength to strength;
    each one appears before God in Zion.
    8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
    give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
    9 Behold our shield, O God;
    look on the face of your anointed!
    10 For a day in your courts is better
    than a thousand elsewhere.
    I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
    11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
    the LORD bestows favor and honor.
    No good thing does he withhold
    from those who walk uprightly.
    12 O LORD of hosts,
    blessed is the one who trusts in you!

  • Psalm 67 – Blessing to the Nations

    To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.

    1 May God be gracious to us and bless us

    and make his face to shine upon us, Selah
    2 that your way may be known on earth,
    your saving power among all nations.
    3 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you!
    4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
    for you judge the peoples with equity
    and guide the nations upon earth. Selah
    5 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you!
    6 The earth has yielded its increase;
    God, our God, shall bless us.
    7 God shall bless us;
    let all the ends of the earth fear him!

    1 I will extol you, my God and King,

    and bless your name forever and ever.
    2 Every day I will bless you
    and praise your name forever and ever.
    3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
    and his greatness is unsearchable.
    4 One generation shall commend your works to another,
    and shall declare your mighty acts.
    5 On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
    and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
    6 They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,
    and I will declare your greatness.
    7 They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness
    and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
    8 The LORD is gracious and merciful,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
    9 The LORD is good to all,
    and his mercy is over all that he has made.
    10 All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD,
    and all your saints shall bless you!
    11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom
    and tell of your power,
    12 to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds,
    and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
    13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
    and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
    [The LORD is faithful in all his words
    and kind in all his works.]
    14 The LORD upholds all who are falling
    and raises up all who are bowed down.
    15 The eyes of all look to you,
    and you give them their food in due season.
    16 You open your hand;
    you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
    17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways
    and kind in all his works.
    18 The LORD is near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him in truth.
    19 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
    he also hears their cry and saves them.
    20 The LORD preserves all who love him,
    but all the wicked he will destroy.
    21 My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD,
    and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

  • Psalm 62 – I Will Wait

    To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

    1 For God alone my soul waits in silence;

    from him comes my salvation.
    2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.
    3 How long will all of you attack a man
    to batter him,
    like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
    4 They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.
    They take pleasure in falsehood.
    They bless with their mouths,
    but inwardly they curse. Selah
    5 For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
    for my hope is from him.
    6 He only is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
    7 On God rests my salvation and my glory;
    my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
    8 Trust in him at all times, O people;
    pour out your heart before him;
    God is a refuge for us. Selah
    9 Those of low estate are but a breath;
    those of high estate are a delusion;
    in the balances they go up;
    they are together lighter than a breath.
    10 Put no trust in extortion;
    set no vain hopes on robbery;
    if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
    11 Once God has spoken;
    twice have I heard this:
    that power belongs to God,
    12 and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.
    For you will render to a man
    according to his work.

  • Psalm 51 – Cleansed From Our Sin

    To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

    1 Have mercy on me, O God,

    according to your steadfast love;
    according to your abundant mercy
    blot out my transgressions.
    2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
    and cleanse me from my sin!
    3 For I know my transgressions,
    and my sin is ever before me.
    4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
    and done what is evil in your sight,
    so that you may be justified in your words
    and blameless in your judgment.
    5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
    and in sin did my mother conceive me.
    6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
    and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
    7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
    wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
    8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
    let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
    9 Hide your face from my sins,
    and blot out all my iniquities.
    10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
    and renew a right spirit within me.
    11 Cast me not away from your presence,
    and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
    12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
    and uphold me with a willing spirit.
    13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
    and sinners will return to you.
    14 Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God,
    O God of my salvation,
    and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
    15 O Lord, open my lips,
    and my mouth will declare your praise.
    16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
    you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
    17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
    18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
    build up the walls of Jerusalem;
    19 then will you delight in right sacrifices,
    in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
    then bulls will be offered on your altar.

  • Psalm 30 – God’s Paradigm

    A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.

    1 I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up

    and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
    2 O LORD my God, I cried to you for help,
    and you have healed me.
    3 O LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;
    you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit
    4 Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints,
    and give thanks to his holy name.
    5 For his anger is but for a moment,
    and his favor is for a lifetime.
    Weeping may tarry for the night,
    but joy comes with the morning.
    6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
    “I shall never be moved.”
    7 By your favor, O LORD,
    you made my mountain stand strong;
    you hid your face; I was dismayed.
    8 To you, O LORD, I cry,
    and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
    9 “What profit is there in my death,
    if I go down to the pit?
    Will the dust praise you?
    Will it tell of your faithfulness?
    10 Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me!
    O LORD, be my helper!”
    11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
    you have loosed my sackcloth
    and clothed me with gladness,
    12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
    O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

    I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart,

    2 Great are the works of the LORD,
    studied by all who delight in them.

    6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
    in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

    all his precepts are trustworthy;
    8 they are established forever and ever,
    to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
    9 He sent redemption to his people;
    he has commanded his covenant forever.
    Holy and awesome is his name!
    10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
    all those who practice it have a good understanding.
    His praise endures forever!
