Psalm 18 I love You Lord my Shield, my Strength My Rock, my Fortress, I give thanks Through Your salvation I’ve been saved From tangled coiling cords of the grave Destruction and death had me ensnared But I cried to the Lord and I was spared In His temple He heard my prayer And from my voice knew my despair In anger the Lord made the whole Earth quake Foundations of the mountains shake In His mouth blazed burning coals Smoke and fire rose from His nose He parted the heavens, and left His seat With dark rain clouds beneath His feet The Lord soared down on wings of the wind With a canopy of darkness covering Him Shrouded by cloud He advanced brightening The Earth with hail and bolts of lightening From heaven His thundering voice resounded Scattering enemies that had me surrounded With His arrows He routed my foes The valleys of the sea became exposed Foundations of the Earth laid bare When the Lord reached down and I was spared Before I was in way over my head A powerful enemy wanted me dead It would have been a disastrous day If God had not stepped in the way But I was rescued by the Lord His support was my reward For my clean and righteous hands That always kept my God’s commands All His laws are before me I have not turned from His decree I’ve been blameless before Him And kept myself away from sin Those who are faithful to Your Name Have no blame and receive the same Men who are proud and arrogant stumble But You save the pure and humble You O Lord make my lamp burn Into light my darkness turns With You I’ll scale any wall Because You’re perfect without flaw There is no God, beside You Lord You train my hands to wield a sword Arm me with the strength to fight Let me to stand on the highest height Make my feet fast like a deer Broaden the path so my way is clear Your right hand stoops down to me To give me Your shield of victory I pursued those You despised Crushed them so they could not rise Watched them fall beneath my feet Til they were dead, I did not retreat They cried for help but no one came Lord You put my foes to shame Now my enemies bow to me Or else the turn their backs and flea As fine as dust on the wind I beat And poured them out like mud in the street You have delivered me from my foes Now I rule those I don’t even know Foreigners cringe and lose all heart Nations tremble and fall apart They are my subjects and do what I say Soon as they hear me speak they obey God my Rock and Savior lives! I praise the Lord for all he gives My children shall forever sing Of the great victories God gave his king

Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd I shall not lack In lush meadows He lays me back Beside the quiet watering hole He leads me and He restores my soul On the paths He guides my aim To righteousness for the sake of His name Although I walk through the valley near The shadow of death, evil I won’t fear For with me You shall always be Your rod and Your staff they comfort me You set me a table in front of my foes You anointed my head, my cup overflows Let only goodness and kindness pursue Until all the days of my life are through Surely they do and so I shall stay In the house of the Lord, for the length of my days

Psalm 40 I waited and cried in a slimy pit For my Rock, the Lord, did I patiently sit He lifted me out of the mud with his hand And gave my feet a firm place to stand Then he taught me a new song to sing A tune of praise to God our King It will teach many to see, fear And trust in the Lord as soon as they hear Bless the man without pride From you he does not turn aside For Lord you’ve done many great things Far more than I could possibly sing Your wonders I can’t even count Because there’s such a large amount Yet sacrifice you don’t desire And offerings you don’t require So look I’m here to do my part God, your law is within my heart When masses gather I always proclaim The righteousness of your holy Name Your kindness I never hide or conceal I tell them that your salvation is real So Lord have mercy don’t withhold Your love and truth are my stronghold I’m surrounded by sinful snares More troubles than my head has hairs My heart fails within my core Come quickly and save me Lord Disgrace those who seek my soul May they be turned back from their goal Let those who try to ruin my name Be rewarded only with shame But may all those who love and pray For your salvation always say “Let the Lord be magnified” And then rejoice at your side My Lord you are all I seek But I am still poor and weak May you think of me I pray Save me God, do not delay

Psalm 51 Have mercy O God, this is my confession Let love and compassion blot out my transgression Wash away iniquity, cleanse my sin For you know my guilt that is burning within I sinned against you though you showed me the light I have done evil, right in your sight I was sinful since birth, since I was conceived But you surely desire to teach wisdom to me So clean my conscience, let my guilt go Wash me and I will, be whiter than snow Let me hear the joy, and gladness of your voice Let the bones you have crushed, reform and rejoice From all my sins please hide your face Blot out my iniquity and my disgrace Create in me a new pure heart And spirit with a steadfast start I love your presence I want to be near it Don’t take me away from your Holy Spirit You are my rock, my one foundation Restore the joy of your salvation I’ll teach transgressors to be true And the sinners will turn back to you O God save me from this guilt Save me from the blood I spilt I’ll be righteous all my days My lips and tongue will sing your praise If you liked sacrifice, I would bring Anything as a burnt offering Instead I sacrifice my own heart And spirit, contrite broken apart I know that you can hear my cries O God, you will not despise

Psalm 57 Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me For my soul takes refuge in thee Until disaster has passed me by Beneath your sheltering wings I hide God Most High please hear my cry Save me from those who want me to die I am surrounded by ravenous beasts Men with spears and arrows for teeth I lie among lions whose tongues are swords But still I have faith in the love of the Lord Above the sun, You have more worth Your glory is shining all over the earth In distress I was bowed down My enemies set a snare on the ground They dug a dangerous pit in my path But they themselves fell into the trap So God I praise you all day long My heart is strong, My heart is strong I will make music and sing my song Awake, my soul, awaken the dawn I will praise You Lord my King Among many nations and people I sing Your faithfulness and endless love Reach up to the heavenly skies and above Above the sun, You have more worth Your glory is shining all over the earth Your glory is shining all over the earth Your glory is shining all over the earth
