The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it,
The world, and those who live in it;
For He has founded it on the seas,
And established it on the rivers.
Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in His holy place?
Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,
Who do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not swear deceitfully.
They will receive blessing from the Lord,
And vindication from the God of their salvation.
Such is the company of those who seek Him,
Who seek the face of the God of Jacob. – from Psalm 24

When you reap your harvest in your field
And forget a sheaf in the field,
You shall not go back to get it;
It shall be left for the alien, the orphan, and the widow,
So that the Lord your God may bless you
In all your undertakings.
When you beat your olive trees,
Do not strip what is left;
It shall be for the alien,
The orphan, and the widow.
When you gather the grapes of your vineyard,
Do not glean what is left;
It shall be for the alien,
The orphan, and the widow. – Deuteronomy 24:19-21

I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
Let the humble hear and be glad.
O magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His Name together.
I sought the Lord, and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
Look to Him, and be radiant;
So your faces shall never be ashamed.
This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord,
And was saved from every trouble.
The angel of the Lord encamps
Around those who fear Him, and delivers them.
O taste and see that the Lord is good;
Happy are those who take refuge in Him. from Psalm 34

O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all;
The earth is full of Your creatures.
When You send forth Your spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the ground.
May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
May the Lord rejoice in His works—
Who looks on the earth and it trembles,
Who touches the mountains and they smoke.
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
May my meditation be pleasing to Him,
For I rejoice in the Lord.
Let sinners be consumed from the earth,
And let the wicked be no more.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Praise the Lord! from Psalm 104

God commanded the skies above,
And opened the doors of heaven;
He rained down on the people of Israel manna to eat,
And gave them the grain of heaven.
Mortals ate of the bread of angels;
He sent them food in abundance.
He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens,
And by His power He led out the south wind;
He rained flesh upon them like dust,
Winged birds like the sand of the seas;
He let them fall within their camp,
All around their dwellings.
And they ate and were well filled,
For He gave them what they craved. -from Psalm 78

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 right paths for His Name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I 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
My whole life long. – Psalm 23

“Prayers of the People” – Rev. Benjamin Wines

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—
Let Israel now say—
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
When our enemies attacked us,
Then they would have swallowed us up alive,
When their anger was kindled against us;
Then the flood would have swept us away,
The torrent would have gone over us;
Then over us
Would have gone the raging waters.
Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth. – from Psalm 124

Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
Or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers;
But their delight is in the law of the Lord,
And on His law they meditate day and night.
They are like trees planted by streams of water,
Which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.
The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish. –from Psalm 1

The law of the Lord is perfect,
Reviving the soul;
The decrees of the Lord are sure,
Making wise the simple;
The precepts of the Lord are right,
Rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is clear,
Enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the Lord is pure,
Enduring forever;
The ordinances of the Lord are true
And righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
Even much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey,
And drippings of the honeycomb.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable to You, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. -from Psalm 19

Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God all my life long.
Do not put your trust in princes,
In mortals, in whom there is no help.
When their breath departs, they return to the earth;
On that very day their plans perish.
Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in the Lord their God,
Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps faith forever;
Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
from Psalm 146
