How lovely is Your dwelling place,
O Lord of Hosts!
My soul longs, indeed it faints for the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young, at your altars, my King and my God.
Happy are those who live in Your house,
Ever singing Your praise.
For a day in Your courts is better
Than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than live in the tents of wickedness.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
He bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does the Lord withhold
From those who walk uprightly.
O Lord of hosts,
Happy is everyone who trusts in You. – from Psalm 84

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

A big “thank you” to all of the above for sharing their gifts of music with us this morning!

Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
In the company of the upright, in the congregation.
Great are the works of the Lord,
Studied by all who delight in them.
Full of honor and majesty is His work,
And His righteousness endures forever.
He has gained renown by His wonderful deeds;
The Lord is gracious and merciful.
The works of His hands are faithful and just;
All His precepts are trustworthy.
They are established forever and ever,
To be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
He sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever.
Holy and awesome is His Name.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
All those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever. – from Psalm 111

A big “thank you” to all of the above for sharing their gifts of music with us this morning!

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 alone, have I sinned,
And done what is evil in Your sight.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And put a new and right spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your Salvation,
And sustain in me a willing spirit.
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners will return to You.
The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit;
A broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. – from Psalm 51

A big “thank you” to all of the above for sharing their gifts of music with us this morning!

Fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt; there is no one who does good.
The Lord looks down from heaven on humankind
To see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God.
They have all gone astray, they are all alike perverse;
There is no one who does good, no, not one.
Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon the Lord?
There they shall be in great terror,
For God is with the company of the righteous.
You would confound the plans of the poor,
But the Lord is their refuge.
O that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion!
When the Lord restores the fortunes of His people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.
– from Psalm 14

A big thank you to all of the above for sharing their gifts of music with us this morning.

I have found My servant David;
With My holy oil I have anointed him;
He shall cry to Me, “You are my Father,
“My God, and the Rock of my salvation!”
I will make him the firstborn,
The highest of the kings of the earth.
Forever I will keep My steadfast love for him,
And My covenant with him will stand firm.
I will not violate My covenant,
Or alter the word that went forth from My lips.
Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
His line shall continue forever,
And his throne endure before Me like the sun.
It shall be established forever like the moon,
An enduring witness to the skies. -from Psalm 89

Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
For He will speak peace to His people,
To His faithful,
To those who turn to Him in their hearts.
Surely His salvation is at hand for those who fear Him,
That His glory may dwell in our land.
Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet;
Righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
Faithfulness will spring up from the ground,
And righteousness will look down from the sky.
The Lord will give what is good,
And our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before Him,
And will make a path for His steps. – from Psalm 85

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;

I will sing praise to Your Name, O Most High.
The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble.
And those who know Your name put their trust in You,
For you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
Rise up, O Lord! Do not let mortals prevail;
Let the nations be judged before You.
Put them in fear, O Lord;
Let the nations know that they are only human. – from Psalm 9
