A David Psalm 1-4 Godanswer you on the day you crash, The name God-of-Jacob put you out of harm’s reach, Send reinforcements from Holy Hill, Dispatch from Zion fresh supplies, Exclaim over your offerings, Celebrate your sacrifices, Give you what your heart desires, Accomplish your plans. 5 When you win, we plan to raise the […]

A David Psalm 1-2 God, God . . . my God! Why did you dump me miles from nowhere? Doubled up with pain, I call to God all the day long. No answer. Nothing. I keep at it all night, tossing and turning. 3-5 And you! Are you indifferent, above it all, leaning back on […]

A David Psalm 1-3 God, my shepherd! I don’t need a thing. You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from. True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction. 4 Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I’m […]

A David Psalm 1-2 Godclaims Earth and everything in it, Godclaims World and all who live on it. He built it on Ocean foundations, laid it out on River girders. 3-4 Who can climb MountGod?

A David Psalm 1-2 My head is high,God, held high; I’m looking to you,God; No hangdog skulking for me. 3 I’ve thrown in my lot with you; You won’t embarrass me, will you? Or let my enemies get the best of me? Don’t embarrass any of us Who went out on a limb for you. […]

A David Psalm 1 Clear my name,God; I’ve kept an honest shop. I’ve thrown in my lot with you,God, and I’m not budging. 2 Examine me,God, from head to foot, order your battery of tests. Make sure I’m fit inside and out 3 So I never lose sight of your love, But keep in step […]

A David Psalm 1 Light, space, zest— that’sGod! So, with him on my side I’m fearless, afraid of no one and nothing. 2 When vandal hordes ride down ready to eat me alive, Those bullies and toughs fall flat on their faces. 3 When besieged, I’m calm as a baby. When all hell breaks loose, […]

A David Psalm 1 Don’t turn a deaf ear when I call you,God. If all I get from you is deafening silence, I’d be better off in the Black Hole. 2 I’m letting you know what I need, calling out for help And lifting my arms toward your inner sanctum. 3-4 Don’t shove me into […]

A David Psalm 1-2 Bravo,God, bravo! Gods and all angels shout, “Encore!” In awe before the glory, in awe before God’s visible power. Stand at attention! Dress your best to honor him! 3 Godthunders across the waters, Brilliant, his voice and his face, streaming brightness— God, across the flood waters. 4 God’s thunder tympanic, God’s […]

A David Psalm 1 I give you all the credit,God— you got me out of that mess, you didn’t let my foes gloat. 2-3 God, my God, I yelled for help and you put me together. God, you pulled me out of the grave, gave me another chance at life when I was down-and-out. 4-5 […]
