Psalm 95

Come, let us sing to the Lord; let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving

and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God,

and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the caverns of the earth,

and the heights of the hills are his also.

The sea is his, for he made it,

and his hands have molded the dry land.

Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee,

and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture

and the sheep of his hand.

Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!

Let us give a loud shout to the Rock who saves us.

Let us come to him and give him thanks.

Let us praise him with music and song.

The Lord is the great God.

He is the greatest King.

He rules over all the gods.

He owns the deepest parts of the earth.

The mountain peaks belong to him.

The ocean is his, because he made it.

He formed the dry land with his hands.

Psalm 19:1-4

The heavens tell about the glory of God.

The skies show that his hands created them.

Day after day they speak about it.

Night after night they make it known.

But they don’t speak or use words.

No sound is heard from them.

Yet their voice goes out into the whole earth.

Their words go out from one end

of the world to the other.

Psalm 84:10-11

A single day in your courtyards is better

than a thousand anywhere else.

I would rather guard the door of the house of my God

Than live in the tents of sinful people.

The Lord God is like the sun that gives us light.

He is like the shield that keeps us safe.

The Lord God blesses us with favor and honor.

He doesn’t hold back anything good

From those whose lives are without blame.

Psalm 22:1-4

My God, my God why have you deserted me.

Why do you seem so far away when I need you to save me?

Why do you seem so far away that

you can’t hear my groans.

My God, I cry out in the daytime. But you don’t answer.

I cry out at night, but you don’t let me sleep.

But you rule from your throne as the Holy One.

You are the God Israel praises.

Our people of long ago put their trust in you.

They trusted in you, and you saved them.

Let all creation be full of joy in front of the Lord.

Psalm 32:6-7

Let everyone who is faithful pray to you

While they can still look to you.

When troubles come like a flood,

They certainly won’t reach those who are faithful.

You are my hiding place.

You will keep me safe from trouble.

You will surround me with song

sung by those who praise you

Because you save your people.

Psalm 1:1-3

Blessed is the person who obeys the law of the Lord.

They don’t follow the advice of evil people.

They don’t make a habit of doing what sinners do.

They don’t join those who make fun

of the Lord and his law.

Instead the law of the Lord gives them joy.

They think about his law day and night.

That kind person is like a tree that is

planted near a stream of water.

It always bears its fruit at the right time.

Its leaves don’t dry up.

Everything godly people do turns out well.

Psalm 5:11-12

But let all those who go to you for safety be glad.

Let them always sing for joy.

Spread your cover over them and keep them safe.

Then those who love you will be glad because of you.

Surely Lord, you bless those who do what is right.

Like a shield, your loving care keeps them safe.
