Psalm 144 : 2-3, 10-11, 12-13ab

I will praise You day after day and exalt Your Name forever. Great is the Lord, most worthy of praise; and His deeds are beyond measure.

All Your works will give You thanks; all Your saints, o Lord, will praise You. They will tell of the glory of Your Kingdom and speak of Your power.

That all may know of Your mighty deeds, Your reign, and its glorious splendour.  Your reign is from age to age; Your domination endures from generation to generation.

Psalm 95 : 1 and 3, 4-5, 11-12, 13

Sing to the Lord a new song, sing to the Lord, all the earth! Recall His glory among the nations, tell all the peoples His wonderful deeds.

How great is the Lord and worthy of praise! Above all gods He is to be feared. For all other gods are worthless idols, but YHVH is the One who made the heavens.

Let the heavens be glad, the earth rejoice; let the sea and all that fills it resound; let the fields exult and everything in them; let the forest, all the trees, sing for joy.

Let them sing before the Lord who comes to judge the earth. He will rule the world with justice and the peoples with fairness.

Psalm 39 : 2, 3, 4, 18

With resolve I waited for the Lord; He listened and heard me beg.

Out of the horrid pit He drew me, out of deadly quicksand. He settled my feet upon a rock and made my steps steady.

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and be awed and put their trust in the Lord.

Though I am afflicted and poor, yet the Lord thinks of me. You are my help and my Saviour – o Lord, do not delay!
