Psalm 61 Word for Word
03:36
|
|||
|
Hear my cry, O God
Listen to my prayer
From the end of the earth I call to you
When my heart is faint
Lead me to the rock
That is higher than I
For you have been my refuge
A strong tower against the enemy
Let me dwell in your tent forever
Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings
For you, O God, have heard my vows
You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name
Prolong the life of the king
May his years endure to all generations
May he be enthroned forever before God
Appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him
So will I ever sing praises to your name
As I perform my vows day after day

Psalm 8 Word for Word
03:34
|

|
O Lord, our Lord
How majestic is your name in all the earth
You have set your glory above the heavens
Out of the mouth of babies and infants
You have established strength because of your foes
To still the enemy and the avenger
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers
The moon and the stars, which you have set in place
What is man that you are mindful of him
And the son of man that you care for him
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
And crowned him with glory and honor
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands
You have put all things under his feet,
All sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field
The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea
Whatever passes along the paths of the seas
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth

Psalm 91 Word for Word
04:43
|

|
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty
Will say to the Lord, My refuge and my fortress
My God, in whom I trust
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the deadly pestilence
He will cover you with his pinions
And under his wings you will find refuge
His faithfulness is a shield and buckler
You will not fear the terror of the night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
Nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness
Nor the destruction that wastes at noonday
A thousand may fall at your side
Ten thousand at your right hand
But it will not come near you
You will only look with your eyes
And see the recompense of the wicked
Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place
The Most High, who is my refuge
No evil shall be allowed to befall you
No plague come near your tent
For he will command his angels concerning you
To guard you in all your ways
On their hands they will bear you up
Lest you strike your foot against a stone
You will tread on the lion and the adder
The young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot
Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him
I will protect him, because he knows my name
When he calls to me, I will answer him
I will be with him in trouble
I will rescue him and honor him
With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation

Psalm 24 Word for Word
03:35
|

|
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof
The world and those who dwell therein
For he has founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.
Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord
And who shall stand in his holy place
He who has clean hands and a pure heart
Who does not lift up his soul to what is false
And does not swear deceitfully
He will receive blessing from the Lord
And righteousness from the God of his salvation
Such is the generation of those who seek him
Who seek the face of the God of Jacob
Lift up your heads, O gates
And be lifted up, O ancient doors
That the King of glory may come in
Who is this King of glory
The Lord, strong and mighty
The Lord, mighty in battle
Lift up your heads, O gates
And lift them up, O ancient doors
That the King of glory may come in
Who is this King of glory
The Lord of hosts
He is the King of glory

Psalm 2 Word for Word
04:10
|
|||
|
Why do the nations rage
And the peoples plot in vain
The kings of the earth set themselves
And the rulers take counsel together
Against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying
Let us burst their bonds apart
And cast away their cords from us
He who sits in the heavens laughs
The Lord holds them in derision
Then he will speak to them in his wrath
And terrify them in his fury, saying
As for me, I have set my King
On Zion, my holy hill
I will tell of the decree
The Lord said to me, You are my Son; today I have begotten you
Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage
And the ends of the earth your possession
You shall break them with a rod of iron
And dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel
Now therefore, O kings, be wise
Be warned, O rulers of the earth
Serve the Lord with fear
And rejoice with trembling
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry
And you perish in the way
For his wrath is quickly kindled
Blessed are all who take refuge in him

Psalm 13 Word for Word
02:36
|
|||
|
How long, O Lord
Will you forget me forever
How long will you hide your face from me
How long must I take counsel in my soul
And have sorrow in my heart all the day
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God
Light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death
Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed over him
Lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken
But I have trusted in your steadfast love
My heart shall rejoice in your salvation
I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me

Psalm 51 Word for Word
07:44
|
|||
|
Have mercy on me, O God
According to your steadfast love
According to your abundant mercy
Blot out my transgressions
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity
And cleanse me from my sin
For I know my transgressions
And my sin is ever before me
Against you, you only, have I sinned
And done what is evil in your sight
So that you may be justified in your words
And blameless in your judgment
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity
And in sin did my mother conceive me
Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being
And you teach me wisdom in the secret heart
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow
Let me hear joy and gladness
Let the bones that you have broken rejoice
Hide your face from my sins
And blot out all my iniquities
Create in me a clean heart, O God
And renew a right spirit within me
Cast me not away from your presence
And take not your Holy Spirit from me
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
And uphold me with a willing spirit
Then I will teach transgressors your ways
And sinners will return to you
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness
O God, O God of my salvation
And my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
O Lord, open my lips
And my mouth will declare your praise
For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it
You will not be pleased with a burnt offering
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit
A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise
Do good to Zion in your good pleasure
Build up the walls of Jerusalem
Then will you delight in right sacrifices
In burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings
Then bulls will be offered on your altar

Psalm 3 Word for Word
03:37
|
|||
|
O Lord, how many are my foes
Many are rising against me
Many are saying of my soul
There is no salvation for him in God
But you, O Lord, are a shield about me
My glory, and the lifter of my head
I cried aloud to the Lord
And he answered me from his holy hill
I lay down and slept
I woke again, for the Lord sustained me
I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me all around
Arise, O Lord
Save me, O my God
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek
You break the teeth of the wicked
Salvation belongs to the Lord
Your blessing be on your people

Psalm 40 Word for Word
06:12
|
|||
|
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined to me and heard my cry
He drew me up from the pit of destruction
Out of the miry bog
And set my feet upon a rock
Making my steps secure
He put a new song in my mouth
A song of praise to our God
Many will see and fear
And put their trust in the Lord
Blessed is the man who makes
The Lord his trust
Who does not turn to the proud
To those who go astray after a lie
You have multiplied, O Lord my God
Your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us
None can compare with you
I will proclaim and tell of them
Yet they are more than can be told
In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted
But you have given me an open ear.
Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required
Then I said, Behold, I have come
In the scroll of the book it is written of me
I delight to do your will, O my God
Your law is within my heart
I have told the glad news of deliverance
In the great congregation
Behold, I have not restrained my lips
As you know, O Lord
I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
From the great congregation
As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me
Your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me
For evils have encompassed me beyond number
My iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see
They are more than the hairs of my head; my heart fails me
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me
O Lord, make haste to help me
Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether
Who seek to snatch away my life
Let those be turned back and brought to dishonor
Who delight in my hurt
Let those be appalled because of their shame
Who say to me, Aha, Aha
But may all who seek you
Rejoice and be glad in you
May those who love your salvation
Say continually, Great is the Lord
As for me, I am poor and needy
But the Lord takes thought for me
You are my help and my deliverer
Do not delay, O my God

Psalm 23 Word for Word
02:39
|
|||
|
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside still waters
He restores my soul
He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for you are with me
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever

Psalm 90 Word for Word
06:18
|
|||
|
Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations
Before the mountains were brought forth
Or ever you had formed the earth and the world
From everlasting to everlasting you are God
You return man to dust and say, Return, O children of man
For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past
Or as a watch in the night
You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream
Like grass that is renewed in the morning
In the morning it flourishes and is renewed
In the evening it fades and withers
For we are brought to an end by your anger
By your wrath we are dismayed
You have set our iniquities before you
Our secret sins in the light of your presence
For all our days pass away under your wrath
We bring our years to an end like a sigh
The years of our life are seventy
Or even by reason of strength eighty
Yet their span is but toil and trouble
They are soon gone, and we fly away
Who considers the power of your anger
And your wrath according to the fear of you
So teach us to number our days
That we may get a heart of wisdom
Return, O Lord! How long
Have pity on your servants
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us
And for as many years as we have seen evil
Let your work be shown to your servants
And your glorious power to their children
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us
And establish the work of our hands upon us
Yes, establish the work of our hands
|

Psalm 103 Word for Word
05:28
|
|||
|
Bless the Lord, O my soul
And all that is within me, bless his holy name
Bless the Lord, O my soul
And forget not all his benefits
Who forgives all your iniquity
Who heals all your diseases
Who redeems your life from the pit
Who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy
Who satisfies you with good
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's
The Lord works righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed
He made known his ways to Moses
His acts to the people of Israel
The Lord is merciful and gracious
Slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love
He will not always chide
Nor will he keep his anger forever
He does not deal with us according to our sins
Nor repay us according to our iniquities
For as high as the heavens are above the earth
So great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him
As far as the east is from the west
So far does he remove our transgressions from us
As a father shows compassion to his children
So the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him
For he knows our frame
He remembers that we are dust
As for man, his days are like grass
He flourishes like a flower of the field
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone
And its place knows it no more
But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him
And his righteousness to children's children
To those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments
The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all
Bless the Lord, O you his angels
You mighty ones who do his word
Obeying the voice of his word
Bless the Lord, all his hosts
His ministers, who do his will
Bless the Lord, all his works
In all places of his dominion
Bless the Lord, O my soul

Psalm 150 Word for Word
02:51
|

|
Praise the Lord
Praise God in his sanctuary
Praise him in his mighty heavens
Praise him for his mighty deeds
Praise him according to his excellent greatness
Praise him with trumpet sound
Praise him with lute and harp
Praise him with tambourine and dance
Praise him with strings and pipe
Praise him with sounding cymbals
Praise him with loud clashing cymbals
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
