Psalm 96
Sing a new song to the Lord;
let the whole earth sing to the Lord.
Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
proclaim his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his wondrous works among all peoples.
For the Lord is great and is highly praised;
he is feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Psalm 96:1-6
Psalm 105
He spread a cloud as a covering
and gave a fire to light up the night.
They asked, and he brought quail
and satisfied them with bread from heaven.
He opened a rock, and water gushed out;
it flowed like a stream in the desert.
For he remembered his holy promise
to Abraham his servant.
He brought his people out with rejoicing,
his chosen ones with shouts of joy.
Psalm 105:39-43
Psalm 106
Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name;
proclaim his deeds among the peoples.
Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell about all his wondrous works!
Boast in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always.
Remember the wondrous works he has done,
his wonders, and the judgments he has pronounced,
you offspring of Abraham his servant,
Jacob’s descendants—his chosen ones.
Psalm 106:1-6
Psalm 98
Sing a new song to the Lord,
for he has performed wonders;
his right hand and holy arm
have won him victory.
The Lord has made his victory known;
he has revealed his righteousness
in the sight of the nations.
He has remembered his love
and faithfulness to the house of Israel;
all the ends of the earth
have seen our God’s victory.
Let the whole earth shout to the Lord;
be jubilant, shout for joy, and sing.
Sing to the Lord with the lyre,
with the lyre and melodious song.
Psalm 98:1-5
Psalm 16
Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.
I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord;
I have nothing good besides You.”
As for the holy people who are in the land
they are the noble ones.
All my delight is in them.
The sorrows of those who take another god
for themselves will multiply;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
and I will not speak their names with my lips.
Lord, You are my portion
and my cup of blessing;
You hold my future.
The boundary lines have fallen for me
in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
I will praise the Lord who counsels me –
even at night my conscience instructs me.
I keep the Lord in mind always.
Because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
Psalm 16:1-8
Psalm 51
Surely You desire integrity in the inner self,
and You teach me wisdom deep within.
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
Turn Your face away from my sins
and blot out all my guilt.
God, create a clean heart for me
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not banish me from Your presence
or take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore the joy of Your salvation to me,
and give me a willing spirit.
Psalm 51:6-12
Psalm 143
I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all You have done;
I reflect on the work of Your hands.
I spread out my hands to You;
I am like parched land before You.
Selah
Answer me quickly, Lord;
my spirit fails.
Don’t hide Your face from me,
or I will be like those
going down to the Pit.
Let me experience
Your faithful love in the morning,
for I trust in You.
Reveal to me the way I should go
because I long for You.
Rescue me from my enemies, Lord;
I come to You for protection.
Teach me to do Your will,
for You are my God.
May Your gracious Spirit
lead me on level ground.
Psalm 143:5-10
Psalm 18
The Lord rewarded me
according to my righteousness;
He repaid me
according to the cleanness of my hands.
For I have kept the ways of the Lord
and have not turned from my God to wickedness.
Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind
and have not disregarded His statutes.
I was blameless toward Him
and kept myself from sinning.
So the Lord repaid me
according to my righteousness
according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
With the faithful
You prove Yourself faithful;
with the blameless man
You prove Yourself blameless;
with the pure
You prove Yourself pure,
but with the crooked
You prove Yourself shrewd.
For You rescue an afflicted people
but You humble those with haughty eyes.
Lord, You light my lamp;
Psalm 18:20-28
Psalm 77
I will remember the Lord’s works;
yes, I will remember Your ancient wonders.
I will reflect on all You have done
and meditate on Your actions.
God, Your way is holy.
What god is great like God?
You are the God who works wonders;
You revealed Your strength among the peoples.
With power You redeemed Your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
Psalm 77:11-15
Psalm 89
I will sing about the Lord’s faithful love forever;
I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations
with my mouth.
For I will declare,
“Faithful love is built up forever;
You establish Your faithfulness in the heavens.”
The Lord said,
“I have made a covenant with My chosen one;
I have sworn an oath to David My servant:
‘I will establish your offspring forever
and build up your throne for all generations.’”
Selah
Psalm 89:1-4
Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength,
a helper who is always found
in times of trouble.
Therefore we will not be afraid,
though the earth trembles
and the mountains topple
into the depths of the seas
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with its turmoil.
Selah
There is a river –
its streams delight the city of God,
the holy dwelling place of the Most High.
God is within her; she will not be toppled.
God will help her when the morning dawns.
Nations rage, kingdoms topple;
the earth melts when He lifts His voice.
The Lord of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Selah
Psalm 46:1-7
Psalm 148
Praise the Lord from the earth,
all sea monsters and ocean depths
lightning and hail, snow and cloud,
powerful wind that executes His command
mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars
wild animals and all cattle,
creatures that crawl and flying birds
kings of the earth and all peoples,
princes and all judges of the earth
young men as well as young women,
old and young together.
Let them praise the name of Yahweh,
for His name alone is exalted.
His majesty covers heaven and earth.
Psalm 148:7-13
Psalm 145
The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and great in faithful love.
The Lord is good to everyone;
His compassion rests on all He has made.
All You have made will thank You, Lord;
the godly will praise You.
They will speak of the glory of Your kingdom
and will declare Your might
informing all people of Your mighty acts
and of the glorious splendor of Your kingdom.
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom;
Your rule is for all generations.
The Lord is faithful in all His words
and gracious in all His actions.
Psalm 145:8-13
Psalm 139
Where can I go to escape Your Spirit?
Where can I flee from Your presence?
If I go up to heaven, You are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.
If I live at the eastern horizon
or settle at the western limits
even there Your hand will lead me;
Your right hand will hold on to me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me,
and the light around me will be night” –
even the darkness is not dark to You.
The night shines like the day;
darkness and light are alike to You.
For it was You who created my inward parts;
You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You
because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful,
and I know this very well.
Psalm 139:7-1
Psalm 27
The Lord is my light and my salvation –
whom should I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life –
of whom should I be afraid?
When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh
my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell.
Though an army deploys against me,
my heart is not afraid;
though a war breaks out against me,
still I am confident.
I have asked one thing from the Lord;
it is what I desire:
to dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life
gazing on the beauty of the Lord
and seeking Him in His temple.
For He will conceal me in His shelter
in the day of adversity;
He will hide me under the cover of His tent;
He will set me high on a rock.
Then my head will be high
above my enemies around me;
I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy.
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
–Psalm 27:1-6
Psalm 111
Hallelujah! .
I will praise the Lord with all my heart
in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
The Lord’s works are great,
studied by all who delight in them.
All that He does is splendid and majestic;
His righteousness endures forever.
He has caused His wonderful works to be remembered.
The Lord is gracious and compassionate.
He has provided food for those who fear Him;
He remembers His covenant forever.
He has shown His people the power of His works
by giving them the inheritance of the nations.
The works of His hands are truth and justice;
all His instructions are trustworthy.
They are established forever and ever,
enacted in truth and in what is right.
He has sent redemption to His people.
He has ordained His covenant forever.
His name is holy and awe-inspiring.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow His instructions have good insight.
His praise endures forever.
– Psalm 111:1-10
Psalm 69
But as for me – poor and in pain –
let Your salvation protect me, God.
I will praise God’s name with song
and exalt Him with thanksgiving.
That will please Yahweh more than an ox,
more than a bull with horns and hooves.
The humble will see it and rejoice.
You who seek God, take heart!
For the Lord listens to the needy
and does not despise
His own who are prisoners.
Let heaven and earth praise Him,
the seas and everything that moves in them,
for God will save Zion
and build up the cities of Judah.
They will live there and possess it.
The descendants of His servants will inherit it,
and those who love His name will live in it.
Psalm 69:29-36
Psalm 2
I will declare the Lord’s decree:
He said to Me, “You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father.
Ask of Me,
and I will make the nations Your inheritance
and the ends of the earth Your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron;
You will shatter them like pottery.”
So now, kings, be wise;
receive instruction, you judges of the earth.
Serve the Lord with reverential awe
and rejoice with trembling.
–Psalm 2:7-11
Psalm 140
For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.
Rescue me, Lord, from evil men.
Keep me safe from violent men
who plan evil in their hearts.
They stir up wars all day long.
They make their tongues
as sharp as a snake’s bite;
viper’s venom is under their lips. Selah
Protect me, Lord,
from the clutches of the wicked.
Keep me safe from violent men
who plan to make me stumble.
The proud hide a trap with ropes for me;
they spread a net along the path
and set snares for me. Selah
I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”
Listen, Lord, to my cry for help.
Lord God, my strong Savior,
You shield my head on the day of battle.
Lord, do not grant the desires of the wicked;
do not let them achieve their goals.
Otherwise, they will become proud. Selah
–Psalm 140:1-8
Psalm 101
I will sing of faithful love and justice;
I will sing praise to You, Lord.
I will pay attention to the way of integrity.
When will You come to me?
I will live with a heart of integrity in my house.
I will not set anything worthless before my eyes.
I hate the practice of transgression;
it will not cling to me.
A devious heart will be far from me;
I will not be involved with evil.
–Psalm 101:1-4
