An Asaph Psalm 1-5 A song to our strong God! a shout to the God of Jacob! Anthems from the choir, music from the band, sweet sounds from lute and harp, Trumpets and trombones and horns: it’s festival day, a feast to God! A day decreed by God, solemnly ordered by the God of Jacob. […]

An Asaph Psalm 1 God calls the judges into his courtroom, he puts all the judges in the dock. 2-4 “Enough! You’ve corrupted justice long enough, you’ve let the wicked get away with murder. You’re here to defend the defenseless, to make sure that underdogs get a fair break; Your job is to stand up […]

An Asaph Psalm 1-5 God, don’t shut me out; don’t give me the silent treatment, O God. Your enemies are out there whooping it up, the God-haters are living it up; They’re plotting to do your people in, conspiring to rob you of your precious ones. “Let’s wipe this nation from the face of the […]

A Korah Psalm 1-2 What a beautiful home,God-of-the-Angel-Armies! I’ve always longed to live in a place like this, Always dreamed of a room in your house, where I could sing for joy to God-alive! 3-4 Birds find nooks and crannies in your house, sparrows and swallows make nests there. They lay their eggs and raise […]

A Korah Psalm 1-3 God, you smiled on your good earth! You brought good times back to Jacob! You lifted the cloud of guilt from your people, you put their sins far out of sight. You took back your sin-provoked threats, you cooled your hot, righteous anger. 4-7 Help us again, God of our help; […]

A Korah Psalm 1-3 He founded Zion on the Holy Mountain— and oh, howGodloves his home! Loves it far better than all the homes of Jacob put together! God’s hometown—oh! everyone there is talking about you! 4 I name them off, those among whom I’m famous: Egypt and Babylon, also Philistia, even Tyre, along with […]

A Korah Prayer of Heman 1-9 God, you’re my last chance of the day. I spend the night on my knees before you. Put me on your salvation agenda; take notes on the trouble I’m in. I’ve had my fill of trouble; I’m camped on the edge of hell. I’m written off as a lost […]

An Ethan Prayer 1-4 Your love,God, is my song, and I’ll sing it! I’m forever telling everyone how faithful you are. I’ll never quit telling the story of your love— how you built the cosmos and guaranteed everything in it. Your love has always been our lives’ foundation, your fidelity has been the roof over […]

A Prayer of Moses, Man of God 1-2 God, it seems you’ve been our home forever; long before the mountains were born, Long before you brought earth itself to birth, from “once upon a time” to “kingdom come”—you are God. 3-11 So don’t return us to mud, saying, “Back to where you came from!” Patience!
