1176 - Psalms 20 and 21

Psalms 20 and 21 Psalm 20 For the choir director: A psalm of David. In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm. May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem. May he remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. Interlude May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your prayers. Now I know that the Lord rescues his anointed king. He will answer him from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power. Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the Lord our God. Those nations will fall down and collapse, but we will rise up and stand firm. Give victory to our king, O Lord! Answer our cry for help. Psalm 21 For the choir director: A psalm of David. How the king rejoices in your strength, O

1175 - Psalm 19

Psalm 19 These are the directions for the choir director: this is a psalm of David. The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display His craftsmanship. Day after day, they continue to speak; night after night, they make Him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard.

It rejoices, like a great athlete, eager to run the race. The sun rises, at one end of the heavens, and follows its course, to the other end. Nothing can hide, from its heat. The instructions, of the Lord, are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees, of the Lord, are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments, of the Lord, are right, bringing joy, to the heart. The commands, of the Lord, are clear, giving insight, for living. Reverence, for the Lord, is pure, lasting forever. The law

1174 - Psalm 18 (part-2)

Psalm 18 (part-2) Lord, to the faithful You show Yourself faithful; to those with integrity, You show integrity. To the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked… You show Yourself shrewd. You rescue the humble, but You humiliate the proud. You light a lamp for me. The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness. In your strength, I can crush an army; with my God, I can scale any wall. God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield, for all, who look to Him, for protection. For who is God except the Lord? Who, but our God, is a solid rock? God arms me with strength, and He makes my way perfect. He makes me as surefooted, as a deer, enabling me to stand… on mountain heights. He trains my hands for battle; He strengthens my arm, to draw a bronze bow. You have given me your shield, of victory, Lord. Your right hand supports me; Your help has made me great. You have made a wide path, for my feet, to keep them from slipping. I chased my enemies… and caught them; I di
