It Is Good to Sing Your Praises

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Punishment of Wicked Lyrics: 1 It is good to sing your praises and to thank you, O Most High, showing forth your lovingkindness when the morning lights the sky. It is good, when night is falling, of your faithfulness to tell, while with sweet, melodious praises songs of adoration swell. 2 You have filled my heart with gladness through the works your hands have wrought; you have made my life victorious, great your works and deep your thought. You, O Lord, on high exalted, reign forevermore in might; all your enemies shall perish, sin be banished from your sight. 3 But the good shall live before you, planted in your dwelling place, fruitful trees and ever verdant, nourished by your boundless grace. In his goodness to the righteous God his righteousness displays; God my rock, my strength and refuge, just and true are all his ways. Scripture: Psalm 92 Used With Tune: ELLESDIE Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912; mod.

Hear My Words, O LORD

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Punishment of Wicked First Line: Hear my words, O LORD my God Lyrics: 1 Hear my words, O LORD my God; listen to my sighs and groans. Hear my cry, my king, my God, I will pray to you alone. When the morning comes, O LORD, you shall hear my pleading cries; I will watch when comes the dawn; I will bring my sacrifice. 2 Surely you are not a God who in evil takes delight; evil shall not dwell with you, nor the proud stand in your sight. Evildoers, LORD, you hate; lying ones will you lay waste. Men who murder and deceive, God, the LORD, abhors and hates. 3 But in your great love will I come into your house of grace. Rev'rent, I will worship there, bowing toward your holy place. Guide me safely, O my LORD, in your perfect righteousness; since my enemies are near, make straight paths before my face. 4 Not one word they say is true; from their heart destruction comes; and their throats are open graves, yet they flatter with their tongues. Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them by their counsels fall; snare them in the schemes they plan, for against you they rebel. 5 Let all those who flee to you find their refuge and be glad. Let them ever sing for joy, ever them protection spread. Those who truly love your name magnify you with their praise. You will bless the righteous, LORD, shielding him with all your grace.

Amen. Scripture: Psalm 92:1-9 Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG
