How will the young keep his way pure?
He must guard it by your word.
I seek you with my whole heart;
From your commands may I not depart.
In my heart your word I hid,
So against you I won’t sin.
Blessed are you, O LORD;
Teach to me your written word
With my lips I will recount
All the judgments of your mouth
In the way you affirm I’m pleased
As in all prosperity
On your laws I meditate
Fix my eyes upon your ways
In your statutes I am glad
Your word I will not forget

V1
May the LORD give you answer
When the day of trouble comes.
May he raise you up to safety
In the name of Jacob’s God.
May he send help from the sanctum
And from Zion give you might.
May he think of all your off’rings
And accept your sacrifice.
V2
May he grant your heart’s desire
And establish all your plans.
May we take joy in your rescue,
In our God’s name lift our flag.
May the LORD give all you ask for.
Now I know the LORD will save
His anointed; he will answer
From his heav’nly holy place.

3. |

|
I’m the LORD, your God
Brought you from Egypt’s land
Open up your mouth wide
Fill it up then will I!
Have you eat finest wheat,
Honey out of the rock
Have you eat finest wheat,
I will satisfy you.
|
||||
4. |
||||
|
Teach me your way,
O LORD, teach me your way
That I may then walk in your truth;
Unite my heart to fear your name.
Teach me your way,
Teach me your way!
I will give thanks,
To You I will give thanks
O Lord my God, with my whole heart
I’ll glorify your name always.
I will give thanks,
I will give thanks!
|

Praise the LORD! My soul praise the LORD!
With all of my life, I will praise the LORD!
I will be singing to my God again
As long as I live, as long as I live.
Do not trust in kings, the son of man.
Salvation does not belong to him.
His spirit departs; he returns to his land
On that very day his plans will end.
Blessed is the one whom Jacob’s God aids
Who hopes in the LORD his God, who made
Heaven and earth and the sea; all they keep;
He will keep faith eternally.
|
||||
6. |

|
The LORD cares for
Simple ones
When I was humbled
He saved me
Turn, my soul, now
To your rest
For the LORD has made you
Greatly blessed
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
If the LORD doesn’t build the house
Those who labor work in vain.
If the LORD doesn’t watch the town
Those who watch, stay awake in vain.
Early you will rise in vain
And delay your rest again
You will eat the bread of pain
But his beloved has sleep from him.
See the LORD our children grants;
His reward, fruit of the womb.
As arrows in a warrior’s hand
So are children of one‘s youth.
Oh how blessed is the man
With his quiver full of them.
He will not be shamed although
In the gate he speaks with foes.
|
||||
8. |

|
Sing to the LORD a new song
Sing to the LORD all the earth!
Sing to the LORD, bless his name
Tell day to day that he saves.
Declare in the nations his fame
Among all the peoples relate
His marvelous works, for the LORD
Is great and must greatly be praised.
|
||||
9. |

|
LORD in heaven without end
You have caused your word to stand.
And your faithfulness endures
Every generation sure
LORD in heaven without end
You have caused your word to stand.
LORD in heaven without end
You have caused your word to stand.
You have made the earth remain
So that it will stand in place
LORD in heaven without end
You have caused your word to stand.

At Rest - Psalm 131
02:55
|
|||
|
LORD, my heart is not lifted high,
And I do not raise up my eyes.
I’m not concerned with things beyond me,
Which are too marvelous, too great for me.
Rather, my soul I’ve calmed and made still,
Like a weaned child on his mother rests;
Like a weaned child my soul is in me.
Hope in the LORD, Israel, now and always.
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
All you servants of the LORD,
Come, bless the LORD!
You who stand by night in his house,
Come, bless the LORD!
Lift your hands up in the sanctum;
May the LORD bless you from Zion;
He has made the earth and heaven.
Come, bless the LORD!
|
||||
12. |
||||
|
God, you are my God; I seek for you
My soul is earnestly thirsting for you
I long for you with all that I am
As in a dry, weary, waterless land.
So I’ve seen you in the holy place
Your pow’r and glory capture my gaze
Your love is better, better than life
So now with my lips extol you will I.
|
||||
13. |

|
Some will trust
Chariots
Some will put their faith in horses
As for us
We will trust
In your name, the LORD our God.
They will bow
And fall down
We will rise and stand together
LORD, save the king
May he respond,
Answer when we cry out.

V1
Thank the LORD, for he is good
For his love endures forever
To the God of gods give thanks
For his love endures forever
Yes, his love never ends
To the Lord of lords be honor
For his love endures forever
To the only wonder worker
For his love never ends.
V2
To the skillful heaven-maker
For his love endures forever
To the one who is earth-spreader
It lays out upon the water
For his love never ends
Unto him the great light-maker
For his love endures forever
And the sun the day will govern
For his love never ends
V3
He remembered us when low
For his love endures forever
Saved us from our enemies
For his love endures forever
Yes, his love never ends
He gives food to every creature
For his love endures forever
Yes, the God of heaven honor
For his love never ends.

I will now in peace
Both lie down and sleep
For you alone, O LORD
Make me dwell secure
