The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day after day they pour fourth speech. Night after night they show forth knowledge bright. They have no voice no language no sound can be heard, yet their rule goes out to all the earth. They have no voice no language no sound can be heard, yet their words go to the ends of the world. In the heavens he's made a place for the sun. Which is like a bridegroom bursting from his room. Like a champion rejoicing in his race, it rises from one end of heaven's space. Then it makes it way to the other side and from it's heat nothing can hide. It has no voice no language no sound can be heard, yet it's rule goes out to all the earth. It has no voice no language no sound can be heard, yet it's words go to the ends of the world. The law of the Lord is perfect it gives the soul a new start. The precepts of the Lord are upright rejoicing the heart. The testimonies of the Lord are sure making simple ones wise. The commands of the Lord are pure bringing light to the eyes. The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous all together. The fear of the Lord is clean enduring forever. They're more precious than gold than much fine gold, for by them your servants are warned. They are sweeter than the honey from the honeycomb, in keeping them there is great reward! Who can discern his errors forgive my hidden faults, keep me also from prideful sins. Let them not rule over me, then will I be blameless innocent of great transgression. May the words of my mouth the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight my Redeemer. May the words of my mouth the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight O Lord my Rock!
2.
May the peoples praise you O God may all the peoples praise you. May the nations be glad and rejoice, for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of earth. Ch: May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us so that your ways may be known on earth O God your salvation among all nations May the peoples praise you O God may all the peoples praise you. Then the land will yield it's harvest and God our God will bless us, God will bless us and all the ends of the earth will fear Him. Ch:
3.
Shout for joy to the Lord all the earth shout for joy to the Lord all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness, come before him, come with joyful songs. For the Lord is God it is he who made us, and we are his we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, enter his courts with praise, give thanks to him and bless his name, give thanks and bless his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever, for the Lord is good. His faithfulness continues through all generations, for the Lord is good.
4.
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever and his faithfulness through every generation, for who in the heavens can compare with the Lord, I will sing and reverence His name. Ch: And with my mouth I will make known, your faithfulness, your faithfulness and with my mouth I will declare, through every generation you are faithful you are faithful you are faithful Lord Lord of hosts you are mighty and your faithfulness surrounds you, you rule the raging of the seas. The heavens are yours the earth and all its fullness the North and the South sing for joy at your name. Ch: Righteousness and justice are the pillars of your throne, mercy and truth go before you. How blessed are the ones who learn how to praise you, who walk in the light of your presence. Ch:
5.
Ch: Hallelujah, praise the Lord O my soul, praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing glory to the Lord my God, even with my dying breath I'll give, praises to the Lord while I live. Bridge: Don't put your confidence in powerful people there is no help for you there. Their breathing stops and they return to the earth and in a moment their plans disappear. But happy are the ones who have the God of Abraham to help them, those whose help is in the Lord their God. He's the one who made the heavens, earth the seas and all that's in them, the one who keeps his promise forever. The Lord gives justice to the crushed and food to all the hungry ones, it's He who sets the prisoners free, The Lord who opens blinded eyes He also lifts the burdens high from those whose backs are bent beneath their loads. Ch: Bridge: The Lord He reigns forever, He is King in every generation, He frustrates the plans of the wicked, The Lord who loves the righteous He protects the foreigner among us, He cares for the orphans and widows. Ch:
6.
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want he makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside the still waters, he restores my soul, my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his names sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. Ch: Surely goodness and mercy, shall follow me, all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. For you are with me your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table for me, in the presence of my enemy. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me, all the days, all the days of my life. Ch:
7.
The Lord is my light and my salvation whom then shall I dread, the Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid? When evil doers prey upon my body to devour, it's all my foes and enemies who fall to rise no more. Though an army camps against me, no fear shall fill my heart, I will maintain my confidence though war against me starts. One request I've asked my Lord and this I will pursue, to dwell inside his holy house till all my days are through. I want to see his beauty and be filled with love and praise, to meditate upon his goodness in that holy place. For he will hide me when the day of trouble rushes in, he'll set me high upon a rock and keep me safe with him. And now my head is lifted high though enemies abound, so I will offer sacrifices with a joyful sound. I will sing and to the Lord I'll make my melody, hear O Lord I cry aloud, be gracious answer me! I've heard you say seek my face and my heart replied, your face O Lord do I seek, your face from me don't hide! Don't turn your servant back in anger, for you have been my aide. Do not reject me or forsake me my savior and my God. For though my father and my mother have forsaken me, still the Lord will take me up into His family. Teach me your way O Lord and guide me on the narrow road, don't turn me over to the plans of my enemies and foes! For though my enemy assails with violence and lies, I'm confident I'll see God's goodness with my living eyes. Wait for the Lord expectantly his goodness is our share. Wait for the Lord with confidence, be strong and don't despair.
8.
Praise the Lord O my soul, and all my inmost being O praise his holy name praise the Lord O my soul and forget not all his benefits who forgives all your sins and heals all your disease. Who redeems you life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. For the Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed, he made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the peoples of Israel, the Lord is compassionate and gracious. Slow to anger abounding in love he will not always accuse nor will he harbor anger forever, he does not treat us as our sins deserve nor repay us, according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth so great is his love to those who fear him, and as far as the East is from the West so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him, for he knows, he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are but dust. As for man his days are like the grass he flourishes like a flower of the field, the wind blows over it and it is gone, it is gone, and it's place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him and his righteousness is with their children's children for those who keep his covenant, who remember to obey his precepts. For the Lord has established his throne in heaven and his Kingdom rules over all, praise the Lord you his angels you mighty ones who do his bidding who obey his word. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord all you heavenly hosts you his servants who do his will, praise the Lord all his works everywhere in his dominion, praise the Lord, praise the Lord O my soul.

Sing to the Lord a new song sing to the Lord all the earth. Sing to the Lord praise his name proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples, for great is the Lord and most worth of praise, he's to be feared above all gods. He's to be feared above all. For all the gods of the nations are idols but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him, strength and beauty in his holy place. Ascribe to the Lord O families of nations ascribe to the Lord glory and strength, ascribe to the Lord glory due his name bring an offering and come in his courts. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness all the earth tremble before him, say among nations 'the Lord reigns' the world is firmly established it can not be moved. Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad, let the seas resound and all that's in them, let the fields be jubilant everything in them, then the trees of the forest will sing for joy, the trees of the forest will sing. They will sing before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth, he will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness, he will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his truth.
10.
How blessed is the man who is not walking in the counsel of the wicked nor is he standing in, the path where sinners sin, he does not enter in and take a seat among the scornful. Ch: His delight is in the law of the Lord and day and night he meditates upon his word This man is like a tree planted by water streams which yields its fruit upon the harvest season, its leaf is strong and green, it is not withering, in all that this man does he prospers. Ch: The wicked are not so they are like chaff that blows away before the wind the wicked will not stand, in the judgment day and sinners can not stay, in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord watches over the righteous man's way but the way of the wicked will perish one day.
