THE LIGHT OF YAHWEHShua

 Music

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch; like me! I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed!

YahwehShua hath promised good to me, his word my hope secures; he will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we’ve no less days to sing YahwehShua’s praise than when we first begun.

Give ear unto my words, O YAHWEH, My meditation weigh;
Hear my loud cry, my King, my YAHWEH, For I to Thee will pray.
YAHWEH Thou shalt early hear my voice; I early will direct
My prayer to Thee, and looking up, An answer will expect.

For Thou art not a YAHWEH who does In wickedness delight;
No evil shall abide with Thee, Nor fools stand in Thy sight.
All evil doers Thou dost hate, Cut off shall liars be;
The bloody and deceitful man, Abhorred is by Thee.

But I into Thy house will come In Thy abundant grace;
And I will worship in Thy fear Toward Thy holy place.
Because of watchful enemies, O lead me by Thy grace,
And in Thy righteousness, Thy way Make straight before my face.

Let all who trust in Thee be glad, In shouts their praise proclaim;
Thou savest them; let all rejoice Who love Thy Holy Name.
For YAHWEH, unto the righteous man Thou wilt Thy blessing yield;
With favor Thou Wilt compass him About as with a shield.

O YAHWEH, rebuke me not in anger;
Nor in hot displeasure chastise me, O YAHWEH.
Be gracious, YAHWEH, and show me Your mercy.
Heal me, O YAHWEH, for I languish and ache.

O YAHWEH, how long are You in helping!
Turn, O YAHWEH, and save me; deliver my soul;
For Your great love; for the sake of Your mercies.
For in the grave there is no thought of You.

O YAHWEH, my bed is wet with weeping,
And I faint with moaning because of my foes.
But YAHWEH has heard; He has answered my prayer.
My foes shall turn and shall be ashamed.

O YAHWEH, rebuke me not in anger;
Nor in hot displeasure chastise me, O YAHWEH.
Be gracious, YAHWEH, and show me Your mercy.
Heal me, O YAHWEH, for I languish and ache.

O YAHWEH, how long are You in helping!
Turn, O YAHWEH, and save me; deliver my soul;
For Your great love; for the sake of Your mercies.
For in the grave there is no thought of You.

O YAHWEH, my bed is wet with weeping,
And I faint with moaning because of my foes.
But YAHWEH has heard; He has answered my prayer.
My foes shall turn and shall be ashamed.

Why do the nations make plans in vain Against the One Anointed!
Saying, Let us strip off all His chords; Break His bands asunder.
He sees their scheme, from heaven He laughs; Holds them in derision.
He speaks to them in His great wrath From His most holy sovereign throne.

O let me tell the Eternal's words, You rulers of this world;
You are my son this day I decree: You are my begotten.
You shall inherit all of the earth; You shall rule all nations.
You shall be King of all the earth; You shall rule with a rod of iron.

So kings be wise and take warning now, O let me tell His edict:
Seek now YAHWEH with trembling and fear, Lest you end in ruin.
Lest He be angry, quickly submit; Worship Him with revrence.
Rulers of earth take warning now; Place your trust in the One true YAHWEH.

Hear and answer when I call, O Righteous YAHWEH.
From distress You set me free; Hear now my prayer.
O how men love vanity; Falsehood they seek;
Turning glory into shame; They are misled.

O how long will sons of men Love vanity!
O how long love vain intrigues; Seek after lies!
Trust in YAHWEH and stand in awe, And cease to sin.
Know that YAHWEH has set apart All holy men.

O that we might see some good! Many will say,
Only look and smile on us, O Righteous YAHWEH!
YAHWEH has given me more joy Than they all know;
He alone makes me to dwell Safely in peace.

O YAHWEH, my YAHWEH, in You do I my confidence repose:
Save and deliver me from all my persecuting foes;
Lest they should seize my life from me and like a lion tear;
Devouring and rending it with no one to defend.

O YAHWEH, my YAHWEH, if it be so that I committed this;
If it be so that in my hands iniquity there is;
If evil I repaid to him who was at peace with me;
Yea, YAHWEH, did I my foe release and aid without a cause.

Then let the foe pursue my life and thrust it to the earth;
Then let him take my soul and lay my honour in the dust.
Rise in Your wrath, YAHWEH, stir Yourself, for my foes raging be;
Awake, my YAHWEH, and vindicate the justice You command.

How excellent in all the earth, YAHWEH our YAHWEH is Thy name!
Who hast Thy glory far advanced Above the starry frame.
From mouths of babes and infants, YAHWEH, Strength by Thee is ordained,
So that Thy enemies be crushed; Thy vengeful foes restrained.

When I look up unto the heav'ns Which Thine own fingers framed,
Unto the moon and to the stars, Which were by Thee ordained;
Then say I, what is man that Thou Should be mindful of him?
Or what, the son of man, that Thou So kind to him should be!

For Thou hast made Him little less Than the angels above;
With glory and with dignity; With honor crown'd his head.
Appointed YAHWEH of all Thy works, All things under His feet:
All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts That in the field do stray.

I will sing, O Most High YAHWEH; Praises to Thy NAME with my whole heart!
And proclaim Thy wonders; I will rejoice and exult in Thee!
My foes fall at Thy sight: for Thou hast maintained my cause and my cry;
YAHWEH will judge from His throne; He shall remain forevermore!

YAHWEH will rule, uprightly; judge the world in righteousness.
The oppressed who seek Him; He will to them a refuge be.
For YAHWEH will not forget Those who put their trust and confidence in Him.
To YAHWEH sing praises; Declare His works to all nations!

YAHWEH Most High in Zion dwells; He will not forget His people;
They declare His great works; And He will not forget their cry.
Rise, O YAHWEH! Put them all in fear! All the nations that forget that Thou art YAHWEH.
Judge them YAHWEH before Thee; Let the nations know they are but men!

The wicked in their pride pursue and make the poor their prey;
Let them be taken in the snare which they for others lay.
The wicked, thru his pride of face, on YAHWEH will never call;
And in the counsels of his heart YAHWEH is not at all.

Within his heart he thus hath said, I never moved shall be;
And no adversity at all shall ever come to me.
With cursing, fraud, and foul deceit, his mouth is always filled;
While vanity and mischief lie beneath his tongue concealed.

Arise, Eternal, O my YAHWEH, lift up Thy hand on high;
Put not the poor and humble ones out of Thy memory.
O judge the fatherless and those beneath oppression sore;
That man, who is but sprung of earth, may them oppress no more.

In YAHWEH I put all my trust; How can you say, to a
mountain escape; Flee like a bird from the peril, in haste?
See how the wicked aim with their bow; Furtively shoot at the
upright in heart! Impious men who wait in the dark.

When the foundations are falling apart, What can the righteous man
do in this plight? Ah, YAHWEH is there on His throne;
His eyes behold the children of men; Testing and proving the
Righteous in heart; Requiting evil, violent men.

Soon YAHWEH shall send from above Fire, hail and brimstone and
scorching hot winds; This is the portion of their cup to be;
For YAHWEH loves righteous deeds; Those who are upright shall
look on His face; He looks on them and favor imparts.

Help us, O YAHWEH, For the merciful cease;
Faithfulness fails; Wicked men have their way.
They all speak lies; All with double heart speak;
YAHWEH shall cut off those who speak boastfully.

Poor men are crushed, And the needy have sighed.
YAHWEH will arise; Their deliverer shall be.
He'll set them safe; For His promise is pure;
Thy Word Eternal YAHWEH, is Truth evermore.

Men's words are false; They are empty and vain.
Each utters lies; To his neighbor he boasts.
They put their trust In their flattering speech.
Exalted are they among sons of men.

How long wilt Thou forget me YAHWEH! Shall it forever be?
Eternal YAHWEH, how long wilt Thou, still hide Thy face from me?
How long take counsel in my soul, and sorrow day by day;
How long exalted over me shall be mine enemy?

O YAHWEH my YAHWEH, consider Thou, An answer give to me;
Lest I should sleep the sleep of death, mine eyes enlighten YAHWEH;
And lest mine enemy should say, Against him I prevailed;
And those who troubled me, rejoice when I am shaken, YAHWEH.

But as for me, I put my trust In Thy great mercy YAHWEH!
And I shall sing unto YAHWEH and praise His Holy Name;
I will rejoice with my whole heart; In His salvation trust,
And I will sing unto my YAHWEH for His great love to me.

O YAHWEH, who shall dwell in the temple of Thy grace?
Who shall on Thy holy hill have fixed abiding place?
He who walks in righteousness, all his actions just and clear;
He whose words the truth express, spoken from a heart sincere.

He who ne'er with slandering tongue utters malice and deceit;
Who will ne'er his neighbor wrong, nor a sland'rous tale repeat.
Who will claim no usury, nor with bribes pollute his hand;
He who thus shall frame his life, shall unmoved forever stand.

The king delights, YAHWEH, in Your great strength;
In Your salvation, he shall rejoice!
You have given to him his heart's desire;
And his request have You not withheld from him.

You send him blessings of goodly things;
You set a golden crown upon his head.
He asked life of You; You gave him life;
Long life forever, and forevermore.

Great is his glory by Your strong aid;
Honor and majesty You laid on him.
You have made him most blest, forever blessed;
Made him exceeding glad with Your countenance.

The heav’ns YAHWEH's glory do declare, The skies His handiworks teach;
Day after day their speech pours forth, and knowledge, night after night.
There Is no speech nor spoken word; their voice is never heard;
And yet their voice spreads to all the earth, their works to the end of the world.

The heav'ns a tent for the sun He made, Which comes forth Like a bridegroom,
Leaving his chamber, glowing bright, to run his course with joy.
From heav'ns end its rising is, its circuit to its ends;
And there is nothing from its heat, no, nothing is hidden thereof.

The law of YAHWEH is a perfect law, For it converts the soul;
Sure are the sayings of our YAHWEH, they make the simple wise.
Statutes of YAHWEH are right and just, and do rejoice the heart;
YAHWEH's commandments are pure and clear, and light to the mind impart.

My YAHWEH, my YAHWEH, O why hast Thou forsaken me, Thy Son?
O why hast Thou not heard my cry, my anguished bitter cry?
Yet Thou art holy and enthroned amid the songs of praise.
Our fathers did rely on Thee and Thou didst rescue them.

They cried to Thee and Thou didst hear; they trusted Thee, O YAHWEH.
For Thou delivered them from fear and they were not ashamed.
But I am just a worm and not a man at all but scorned;
Rejected and despised by men, and mocked and scorned by all.

They sneer and toss their heads at me; make ugly mouths and mock:
'Let YAHWEH deliver him,' they say, 'He left it to his YAHWEH.'
Yet Thou art YAHWEH, indeed, who took me from my mother's womb;
O be not far from me, My YAHWEH, for there is none to help

YAHWEH is my Shepherd, no want shall I know,
I feed in green pastures, safe folded I rest;
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed,
Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed.

Thro' the valley and shadow of death though I stray,
Since Thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear;
Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay;
No harm can befall, with my Comforter near,
No harm can befall, with my Comforter near.

In the midst of affliction my table is spread;
With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er;
With perfume and oil Thou anointest my head;
Oh, what shall I ask of Thy providence more?
Oh, what shall I ask of Thy providence more?

O surely Thy goodness and mercy, O YAHWEH,
Shall follow my steps all the days of my life;
Shall follow my steps all the days of my life;
And I will in Thy house forevermore dwell;
And I will in Thy house forevermore dwell.

Our YAHWEH is good and upright; the way He'll sinners show.
The meek in judgment He will guide, and make His paths to know.
The whole paths of YAHWEH are truth and mercy sure
To those that keep His covenant and testimonies pure.

Now, for Thine own NAME's sake, O YAHWEH, I Thee entreat
To pardon mine iniquity, for it is very great.
What man is he that fears YAHWEH and doth Him serve?
Him shall He teach of His own way; the way that he should choose.

His soul shall dwell at ease; and his posterity
Shall flourish still and of the earth inheritors shall be.
With those that fear Him is the secret of YAHWEH;
The knowledge of His covenant He will to them afford.

To Thee I lift my soul; I trust Thee, O my YAHWEH;
Let me not be ashamed, nor let my foes triumph o'er me.
Let none that wait on Thee, be put to shame at all;
But those that without cause transgress, let shame upon them fall.

Show me Thy ways, O YAHWEH; O teach Thou me Thy paths;
And in Thy truth lead me Thyself, therein my teacher be.
For Thou art YAHWEH that dost to me salvation send;
And I upon Thee all the day, expecting, do attend.

Thy tender mercies, YAHWEH, remember, pray I Thee;
And loving kindnesses, for they have ever been of old.
My sins and faults of youth, do Thou, O YAHWEH, forget;
After Thy mercy think on me, and for Thy goodness great.

Mine eyes upon YAHWEH continually are set;
For He it is that shall bring forth my feet out of the net;
Turn unto me Thy face, and to me mercy show;
Because that I am desolate and am brought very low.

My heart's griefs are increased, relieve me from distress;
See mine affliction and my pain, and all my sins forgive;
Consider Thou my foes because they many are;
And it a cruel hatred is which they against me bear.

O do Thou keep my soul, do Thou deliver me;
And let me never be asham'd because I trust In Thee;
Let uprightness and truth keep me, who Thee attend.
Redemption, YAHWEH, to Israel from all his troubles send.

In Thee, O YAHWEH, I put my trust, let me not be ashamed;
As Thou art faithful, rescue me, and guide me by Thy pow'r.
Thou art my fortress and my rock; Thou art my strength, O YAHWEH.
Deliver me by Thy great pow'r from snares laid out for me.

O YAHWEH, Thou hast redeemed my life, Thou faithful YAHWEH of truth;
Thou hatest all who pay regard to lying vanities.
I trust Thee YAHWEH, and will rejoice in Thy great mercy, YAHWEH.
Thou hast not let me fall into the hand of enemies.

Have pity, O Eternal YAHWEH, my life is spent with grief;
Because of sins my strength has failed; my bones are weak and faint.
I am the scorn of all my foes; they shun me in the street;
But Thou I trust and know my fate lies in Thy hands, O YAHWEH.

Eternal YAHWEH, on Thee I call, let me not be ashamed;
But let the wicked be ashamed and silent in the grave.
Strike dumb the foes with lying lips who scorn against the just!
How great Thy goodness which Thou hast for those who fear Thy NAME

They are blest who are forgiven, To whom YAHWEH imputes no sin;
Who go to the Eternal YAHWEH, And confess to Him their sins.
Whose iniquities are covered, Whom the Eternal YAHWEH does instruct!
Saying, I will direct you In the way that you should go.

Many sorrows have the wicked, Who know not the way of YAHWEH.
Be not as mules or horses, Which are held by bridles strong;
But be glad in the Eternal YAHWEH, And rejoice all you just;
Shout for joy all you upright; In whose spirit is no guile.

Day and night YAHWEH's hand was on me, And I groaned till I confessed.
My sins I laid before Him; Quickly He forgave them all;
Ev'ry righteous one shall pray thus, While YAHWEH may be found;
So be glad all you upright; All you righteous, shout for joy!

Blessed is the nation YAHWEH is for, And the people He has chosen;
For YAHWEH looks down from heav'n above And He beholds all nations.
From His place above He looks on all; He sees their ev'ry doing;
He sees their sin, He sees their works, He beholds all of those who fear Him.

O you righteous in YAHWEH, rejoice; Songs of praise befit the upright;
Play skillfully upon the strings; Sing to Him a joyful new song.
For the Word of YAHWEH is right and just. All His works are true and faithful;
His loving kindness fills the earth; For He loves righteousness and justice.

By the Word of YAHWEH the heav'ns were made; Waters of the sea He gathered.
In storage places laid the deeps; Let all the earth revere Him.
Let the people stand in awe of Him; For He spoke and earth existed.
When He commanded it stood fast; By His word were the heav'ns created.

Kings will not be saved by armies great Nor a mighty man delivered;
Not one is saved by his own strength, Nor by some other power.
But the eyes of YAHWEH are on the just; Those who fear and worship Him;
Who wait for Him, who hope for Him, Those who trust in the YAHWEH of Isr'el

Turn thou from evil, do what is good, Seek peace pursue it earnestly.
Upon the just are the eyes of YAHWEH, His ears are open unto their cry.
But YAHWEH's face is against Them that are evil, doers of wrong.
He cuts remembrance off from them, Cuts their remembrance from the earth.

When righteous men cry, YAHWEH always hears; For He delivereth them from fears.
Near unto them of a broken heart, Contrite of spirit YAHWEH saveth them.
Many afflictions that we do have, Troubles there be of righteous men;
But the Eternal YAHWEH delivereth Out from afflictions the righteous man.

Turn thou from evil, do what is good, Seek peace pursue it earnestly.
YAHWEH keeps the bones of the righteous man, Not one of them shall broken be.
Tho' evil slay all unrighteous men, Who hates the pure shall desolate be;
But YAHWEH redeemeth the soul that's His, None shall be desolate trusting Him.

he wicked man doth cause this tho't within my heart to rise;
Undoubtedly the fear of YAHWEH is not before his eyes.
Because in his deceitful eyes his ways are always right;
Until the vileness of his sin shall all be brought to light.

The words that from his mouth proceed are wickedness and lies;
He has refrained from doing good and ceased from being wise.
And cunningly he plotteth mischief lying on his bed;
He sets himself in ways not good; and ill abhoreth not.

Let not the foot of cruel pride come and against me stand,
And let me never be removed, YAHWEH, by the wicked's hand.
They're fallen, they are ruined, they that work iniquity;
They are cast down and never shall be able to arise.

Fret not thyself unquietly because of evil men;
Nor do not envy bear to those who work iniquity.
For even like the fading grass, they shall be cut down soon;
And like the green and tender herb, they withered shall be.

Rest in YAHWEH, in patience wait, nor for the wicked fret;
Who prosp'ring in his evil way, success in sin doth get.
For yet a little while and then, the wicked shall not be;
His place thou shalt consider well, but it thou shalt not see.

From anger turn away thyself and also cease from wrath;
Fret not thyself in any wise, it only leads to sin.
For evil doers shall indeed be rooted out and die;
But those who wait upon YAHWEH, the earth they shall possess

Envy not nor fret yourself Over evil lawless men;
They like grass soon fade away And wither like a flow'r.
Trust in the Eternal YAHWEH, Do the right and loyal be;
So will you dwell peacefully And truly shall be fed.

Put your confidence in YAHWEH, And your way to Him commit;
He shall give you your desires; The petitions of your heart.
Rest in the Eternal YAHWEH, Patiently upon Him wait;
Envy not nor fret yourself Because of evil men.

Cease from anger, cease from wrath, For all such shall be cut off;
Wait and hope and look for YAHWEH; Be still and trust in Him.
Soon the wicked shall not be, And his place shall not be found;
So shall you delight yourself In peace abundantly.

YAHWEH, do not in hot displeasure Lay Thy heavy hand on me.
Let Thy chast'ning be in measure; Thy rebukes from anger free.
For Thy hand most surely presses, Fast Thy arrows stick within;
Wrath my weary flesh distresses, Gives my bones no rest from sin.

O'er my head like billows rushing, My transgressions risen are.
Like a burden heavy crushing, Greater far than I can bear.
Loathsome are my wounds neglected, My own folly makes it so;
Bowed with grief and much afflicted, All the day I mourning go.

For my loins are filled with burning, Health in me no more remains.
I am feeble, bruised, and mourning, Groaning loud thro' inward pains.
My desires and ceaseless wailing, Loud, unveil'd before Thee lie;
Pants my heart my strength is failing, All its light has left mine eye.

I said my ways I'll guard with care, Lest with my tongue I sin, O YAHWEH;
I put a bridle on my lips, When in the presence of ungodly men.
With silence I became as dumb; I held my peace but to no avail.
Sorrow within my heart was stirred; My distress grew hot as fire!

Then with my tongue I spoke these words: Let me know my end, O YAHWEH;
What is the number of my days; O let me know how fleeting is life.
Thou hast made my days as a span; They are as nothing in Thy sight.
Surely before Thee all men stand; As a mere breath they stand before Thee.

O surely man is but a breath; Like a shadow he goes about;
Men are in turmoil all for nought; Wealth do they gather but all in vain.
Now, O YAHWEH, for what do I wait! My hope in Thee is; my sin forgive.
O make me not the scorn of fools! I shall not speak but remain as dumb.

For it is YAHWEH who orders life; Take away Thy stroke from me.
I am consum'd by Thine own hand, When Thou dost chasten man for all his sin.
Man's life is vain and wasted away; Hear Thou my cry and hold not Thy peace!
Spare me that I may gladness know, O YAHWEH, recall how fleeting is life.

Righteous Judge, from foes defend me, Who deceitful charges lay;
YAHWEH, my Strength, my soul deliver, And my treach'rous foes dismay;
O send out Thy light and truth, Let them lead and guide me still;
Let them bring me to Thy dwelling, Lead me to Thy holy hill.

Then will I come to Thine altar, YAHWEH of my exceeding joy;
And with lyre will I sing praises; Unto YAHWWEH, my YAHWEH, I'll sing!
Why art thou, my soul, cast down, Why art thou disquieted?
I shall yet have hope and praise Him; Unto YAHWEH shall I give praise

O YAHWEH, we have heard and our fathers have taught
The works which of old in their day Thou hast wrought;
The nations were crushed and expelled by Thy hand,
Cast out that Thy people might dwell in their land.

They gained not the land by the edge of the sword,
Their own arm to them could no safety afford;
But by Thy right hand, O my YAHWEH Saviour and King,
Command, and Thy word shall deliverance bring!

No trust will I place in my bow to defend,
Nor yet on my sword for my safety depend;
In YAHWEH who has saved us and put them to shame,
We boast all the day, ever praising His NAME!

Before me I constantly see my disgrace;
And shame and confusion have covered my face;
At sound of the taunters and scoffers delight;
Their hearts full of hate and revengeful despite.

Though all these sore evils have been our sad lot;
Our YAHWEH and His cov'nant we have not forgot;
Our heart turned not back and our feet have not strayed;
Tho' broken mid jackals with death for our shade.

If we have forgotten the NAME of our YAHWEH;
Or unto some idol our hands spread abroad;
Shall not the Almighty YAHWEH Who sees all within;
And knows the heart's secrets, discover this sin?

Yea, all the day long for Thy sake we're consumed;
Like sheep for the slaughter to death we are doomed;
Awake, O Eternal YAHWEH, and sleep Thou no more;
Arise and our help cast not off evermore.

O YAHWEH our strength and refuge proves, In all distress a present aid;
Tho' the trembling earth remove, We will never be dismayed.
Kingdoms moved the heathen raged, And the earth melted at His word;
YAHWEH of Hosts for us engaged, Our refuge high is Jacob's YAHWEH.

A river flows, whose living streams Gladden the city of our YAHWEH,
Tents where heavenly glory beams; Where YAHWEH has His abode.
YAHWEH has Zion His dwelling made; She shall never more be moved;
Her YAHWEH shall early give His aid, He her help has ever proved.

Come, see the works of YAHWEH displayed, Wonders of His mighty hand;
Desolations He has made, Ruins spread thru all the land.
Be still, know I am YAHWEH Most High, O'er the heathen I will reign.
YAHWEH of Hosts to us is nigh, Jacob's YAHWEH our help remains.

YAHWEH our strength and refuge is; He is our help in time of need;
Therefore we should never fear; For the Eternal YAHWEH is with us!
Tho' the earth and mountains shake; Tho' its waters roar and foam;
YAHWEH of Jacob, YAHWEH of Hosts; He is our fortress and our strength!

In the city of our YAHWEH, Bright streams shall deck His high abode;
YAHWEH is in the midst of her; She shall not ever be removed!
Tho' the heathen rage with hate; Tho' their kingdoms move and shake,
YAHWEH will utter His great voice; At His command all wars will cease!

Come, behold the wondrous works; What pow'r they show upon the earth!
He gives peace to all the land; He breaks the bow and snaps the spear.
This is YAHWEH’s command to all: Learn that only I am YAHWEH,
I alone the heathen rule; I, only I, do rule the land!

YAHWEH, the Eternal is most great and greatly to be praised!
Within the city of our YAHWEH, upon His holy hill.
Mount Zion stands most beautiful, the joy of all the land!
The city of the mighty King YAHWEH, doth on her north side stand.

Within her palaces our YAHWEH is for a refuge known;
For lo, the kings assembled, together they did come.
When they beheld it, all amazed, they fled in great dismay;
And being troubled at Thy sight, they thence did haste away.

As we have heard, we saw within the city of our YAHWEH;
The city which YAHWEH of Hosts established evermore.
We of Thy loving kindness thought, in Thy most holy place,
O YAHWEH according to Thy NAME, Thy praise fills all the earth!

Nations give ear, both low and high; Rich and poor all you people;
For I shall speak wisdom and truth; I will speak understanding.
This parable will I submit; I will render this hymn;
Why should I fear in evil times, Tho' my foes are around me?

Men like to boast of their great wealth, But cannot save one soul;
What! Never die! But die they must; Fools and wise, all must perish.
Their wealth is left to other men, But heir home is the grave;
Such is the fate of those who live, Trusting in their great wealth.

But YAHWEH redeems my soul from death; My soul shall he receive.
Be not afraid when one is rich, Nor when his wealth increases;
Though while he lived, his soul he blest, And all men gave him praise;
Still shall he die, his wealth shall cease; For he lacked understanding.

Hear, O my people, and I'll speak, O Israel by name;
Against you I will testify, for YAHWEH your YAHWEH, I am.
The fowls are all to me well known that mountains high do yield;
I also claim as all my own the wild beasts of the field.

Pay all your vows to YAHWEH most high; Give thanks and offer praise,
And when the day of trouble comes I'll hear and answer you.
Think you that I would eat of flesh or ask for sacrifice?
But rather unto Me your YAHWEH give thanks and offer praise.

But to the wicked man YAHWEH says, Why mention my commands?
Why take my compact on your lips and cast my words behind?
Mark this, you who forget your YAHWEH, and my instruction hate;
Therefore shall none deliver you, for this is my reproof.

In Thy loving kindness, YAHWEH, be merciful to me;
In compassion great blot out all iniquity.
Wash me thoroughly from sin; from all guilt cleanse Thou me:
For transgressions I confess; sins I ever see.

Gainst Thee only have I sinned, done evil in Thy sight,
That Thou speaking may be just, and in judging right.
My iniquities blot out, my sin hide from Thy view;
And in me a clean heart make, spirit right renew.

From Thy gracious presence, YAHWEH, O cast me not away;
And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me, I pray.
Joy which Thy salvation brings again to me restore;
With Thy Spirit free do Thou keep me evermore.

Sacrifice dost Thou not want, else would I give it Thee;
And with offering shalt Thou not delighted be.
For a broken spirit is to YAHWEH a sacrifice;
And a broken, contrite heart, Thou wilt not despise.

O mighty man, why boast you of evil,
Scheming and devising subtle mischief and lies?
Like a sharp razor does your tongue speak;
Planning destruction against righteous men.
You despise good and evil do you love;
Falsehood do you prefer to speaking the truth.

Why do you boast when YAHWEH is most gracious,
Kind and merciful and ever loving and good?
Since you trust in falsehood and your great wealth;
YAHWEH will remove you, uproot you from life.
Those who trust YAHWEH shall see and be in awe;
They shall laugh at you for all your folly and pride.

O see the man who made not YAHWEH his strength,
For he sought refuge in abundance of wealth.
But in YAHWEH's mercy, in His steadfast love,
And His great kindness, in these do I trust.
And in YAHWEH's house, like an olive green am I;
I will praise Him and proclaim His great NAME!

Fools have said that there is no YAHWEH; They in their heart conclude;
They are corrupt their works are vile. Not one of them doeth good.
YAHWEH did from heav'n look down upon the sons of men abroad,
To see if any one were wise, Any seeking after YAHWEH.

They are all of them backward gone, All of them are depraved;
And there is none that doeth good, No, not a single one.
Have those who work iniquity no knowledge, none at all?
My people they devour like bread, And on YAHWEH they do not call.

YAHWEH has rejected all of them; They will be put to shame.
Such terror there has never been; Great terror on them falls.
For YAHWEH will scatter all the bones of the unrighteous men.

Save me, O YAHWEH, by Thy great NAME and judge me by Thy strength.
My prayer hear and to my words, O YAHWEH, give ear to me.
For they that strangers are to me, do up against me rise.
Oppressors do not care for YAHWEH, but seek to take my life.

The mighty YAHWEH my Helper is; Lo therefore I am bold.
He taketh part with ev'ry one, that does my soul uphold.
To all my watchful foes He will, their evil deeds repay;
O for Thy truth's sake cut them off, and take them all away.

A free will off'ring I to Thee will bring in sacrifice.
YAHWEH, of Thy NAME, for it is good; Thy praises will I sing.
Because He hath delivered me, from all adversities;
And His desire mine eye hath seen, upon thine enemies.

Was not a foe who did deride, For that I could endure;
No hater thus who rose in pride, Else would I hide secure.
But thou it was my friend and guide; We did as equals meet;
We walked to YAHWEH's house side by side, And counsel blended sweet.

His speech more smooth than butter was, Yet in his heart was war;
More soft than oil his words appear; Yet sharp as drawn swords were they.
But YAHWEH Thou will in judgment sit, And bring them down to woe;
And in the deep and dark-some pit, In ruin lay them low.

Death shall them seize, and to the tomb, Alive they shall go down;
For wickedness is in their home; Among them abound their sins.
But as for me, I'll call on YAHWEH; YAHWEH will safety give;
He'll hear me when I cry aloud, At morning, noon and night.

Unto my earnest prayer give ear, nor hide Thee, O YAHWEH most High,
Attend my sad complaint and hear my mourning bitter cry.
Because of sinful men I weep, and persecuting foes;
Who wickedness upon me heap, in wrath opposing me.

Sore pain in heart I find no ease, death's terrors fill my soul,
Great fear and trembling on me seize and horrors o'er me roll.
O had I wings, I sigh and say, like some swift dove to roam,
Then would I hasten far away, and find a peaceful home.

Lo, wand'ring far, my rest should be in some lone desert waste;
I from the windy storm would flee and from the tempest haste.
Destroyed, Eternal YAHWEH, let them be; divide confuse their tongue;
For in the city, lo, I see great strife and grievous wrong.

O pity me, be gracious YAHWEH, For it is You my soul does seek;
My refuge rests under Your wings, Till all danger passes.
I call to YAHWEH, to the Most High, Who fulfills His purpose.
He will send help from heav'n above; Put to shame all who slander.

YAHWEH will send forth His steadfast love; His loving kindness and His truth;
O'er all the earth His glory shines, High above the heavens!
My life must be mid sons of men Whose tongues use sharp swords;
They set a net for my own life; But instead they have fallen.

My heart is steadfast, O my YAHWEH; Steadfast and confident in You;
Praise will I sing, make melody, On the harp and the lyre!
My soul, awake, give thanks to YAHWEH; Sing His praise to all nations!
For His great love soars to the heav'ns; Great is He and exalted!

O YAHWEH, Thou hast rejected us and scattered us abroad;
For Thou hast been displeased with us; return again, O YAHWEH.
For Thou hast made the earth to tremble, in it breaches made;
Do Thou thereof the breaches heal because the land doth shake,

O YAHWEH, to Thy own chosen people hast Thou hard times sent;
And Thou hast made us drink the wine of sore astonishment.
And yet a banner Thou hast given those who Thee do fear;
That it may be displayed by them; for the sake of truth appear.

That Thy beloved people, YAHWEH, may all delivered be;
Save with the power of Thy right hand, an answer give to me.
Help us from trouble; for the help is vain which man supplies.
Thru YAHWEH we shall do mighty deeds; tread down our enemies.

ive ear unto my prayer, O YAHWEH, from earth's far end I call;
And lead me to the Rock to rest that higher is than I.
For You have been a shelter and a fort against the foe;
O let me in Your dwelling place abide forevermore.

My YAHWEH has heard my vows and granted righteous heritage;
The share for those who trust in Him and fear His holy NAME.
Let YAHWEH prolong the true king's life; forever let him reign!
That He may sit before our YAHWEH, enthroned in righteousness.

When I was faint I cried to YAHWEH, and He did hear my prayer;
For He has been my dwelling place; a shelter from the foe.
And so will I forevermore sing praises to His NAME!
Sing praises to His NAME fore'er, and daily pay my vows.

YAHWEH is my rock, my salvation, my hope; my soul in silence waits for my YAHWEH alone;
He is my fort, I shall not be removed; He is my refuge, my high tower of strength.
Rescue shall come from my YAHWEH alone; And I shall never be greatly removed.

Still, O my soul, wait in silence for YAHWEH; my hope and refuge is in my YAHWEH alone;
He is my rock, my salvation and strength; With YAHWEH alone shall my deliverance be.
How long will men take pleasure in sin? They plot and threaten the life of the king.

Vain men are they, delighting in craft; their lips they bless with, but they curse inwardly;
Low men or high, both are less than a breath; Trust and rely not on extortion and gain.
Kindness and pow'r belong to our YAHWEH; He shall reward ev'ry man for his works.

Joyfully sing and praise YAHWEH, All the earth sing forth His praise!
Glory and honor give Him, Sing homage to His NAME!
Say now to YAHWEH, How dread Your works, How awesome are Your deeds!
So great Your pow'r Your foes submit, All the earth worships You!

O come, and see His great works, Among men how dread His deeds!
He turned the sea to dry land; And the multitudes passed thru.
So let us all rejoice in Him, Who by His power e'er rules;
Whose eyes observe and nations watch; None shall exalt himself.

O bless our YAHWEH, you peoples, Make His praises to be heard!
Give unto Him your grateful thanks Who has kept us safe in life;
And not allowed our feet to slip, Tho' You have tested us,
Tho' we were captured by our foes; Yet have You set us free.

So will I come before my YAHWEH, I will pay my vows to Him;
Vows which my lips have spoken, Which I promised when distress'd.
All you who fear Him, come and hear, Come you who worship Him;
I will declare what YAHWEH has done, What He has done for me!

I called to YAHWEH and cried out, I extolled Him with high praise;
Had I of sin been thinking, Surely YAHWEH would never hear.
But YAHWEH indeed has heard my pray'r; Blessed be YAHWEH who hears;
He has not checked my pray'r to Him, Nor His own love to me.

For even from my youth, O YAHWEH, by Thee have I been taught;
And hitherto I have declared the wonders Thou hast wrought.
And now O YAHWEH, forsake me not when I am old and gray;
Till I proclaim Thy wondrous deeds to this and ev'ry age.

Thy perfect righteousness, O YAHWEH, the heaven's height exceeds;
O YAHWEH, who is like Thee, who has perform'd such mighty deeds?
Thou who hast shown me trials sore and great adversities;
Will quicken me again and bring me from the depths of earth.

My greatness and my pow'r Thou will increase and far extend;
Against all grief on ev'ry side to me will comfort send.
And I will also praise Thy truth, O YAHWEH, with psaltery;
Thou YAHWEH, Holy One of Israel, with harp I'll sing to Thee.

Eternal YAHWEH, my hope and refuge; Thou art my rock and fortress;
O YAHWEH incline Thine ear to me; Save me from the unjust man.
Thou art my help and trust, O YAHWEH; My praise shall always be to Thee;
My mouth is filled with praise and glory, O YAHWEH, forsake me not.

Eternal YAHWEH, be not far from me! O YAHWEH, make haste to help me!
I'll hope and praise Thee more and more; I will tell of thy great works.
YAHWEH, when I'm old forsake me not; My enemies against me plan;
They say, His YAHWEH will not protect him, O YAHWEH, forsake me not.

Eternal YAHWEH, our great creator; Thy justice reaches heaven;
Thou who hast shown me many trials; Thou shalt give me life once more.
My lips will shout for joy, O YAHWEH; When I sing songs of praise to Thee;
Thou Holy One who hast redeem'd me; O YAHWEH, forsake me not.

Give the king Thy judgments YAHWEH, Justice to his royal son!
Let him judge with equity; Deal justice to the poor!
Let the mountains and the hills Bear prosperity for all;
May he judge in peace and righteousness and defend the needy ones.

In His days shall peace abound; in the days of YAHWEH the King!
Righteousness shall flourish then And endure forevermore!
His dominion shall extend Out from Zion to earth's end;
Kings and people all will yield to Him; He will rule from sea to sea.

Kings of east and kings of west, All kings shall homage pay!
All His enemies shall bow And grovel in the dust!
For he pities those forlorn; Hears all those who cry to Him;
He will save the weak and all oppressed; they are precious in His sight.

Blessed be His glorious NAME; Let all nations hail Him YAHWEH King!
Blessed shall He be alway, The YAHWEH of Israel;
Blessed be His glor'ous NAME! He alone works wonders great!
For His glory all the earth shall fill; Even so, Amen, Amen!

Give judgment to the king, O YAHWEH, and to the royal son;
The spirit of Thy righteousness, that he may rightly judge.
Let hills and mountains bring forth peace, prosperity for all;
He shall defend the needy ones, and crush those who oppress!

Long may He live, long as the sun and moon above shall shine!
Like gentle rain on meadows green, and show'rs that water earth!
For in His days shall peace abound; with justice shall He rule;
And righteousness shall fill the earth, as long as time exists!

From sea to sea, to ends of earth shall His dominion be!
His enemies shall lick the dust; His foes bow down to Him!
The kings of west and east shall bring their tribute unto Him;
Yes, all earth's kings shall bow to Him; all nations yield to Him!

The fount and flood were cleft by Thee, the mighty streams were dried.
The day and night are Thine, and Thou didst light and sun provide.
By Thee the borders of the earth were settled so to be;
The summer and the winter, YAHWEH, created were by Thee.

That foolish people have blasphemed Thy NAME YAHWEH ;
That spiteful foes have Thee reproached in memory record.
Leave not Thy dove unto the multitude of wicked men;
The congregation of Thy poor, forget not to the end.

YAHWEH, to Thy cov'nant have respect; because in ev'ry clime
Are earth's dark places filled with homes of cruelty and crime.
Let not all those who are oppressed return again with shame;
Let those who poor and needy are give praises to YAHWEH Thy NAME.

Let us sing to YAHWEH and praise His NAME, Unto Him shall we give thanks!
For His wondrous works His NAME declare; Let us tell of His great deeds!
YAHWEH the Eternal says that He will judge, When the proper time is come;
Tho' the earth and all totters and dissolves, He will make its pillars stand.

The Eternal YAHWEH says unto the proud, Do not boast nor flaunt your pow'r;
And unto the wicked He has said, Do not lift your horn on high.
Neither from the east, nor from the west, Comes the lifting up of men.
It is YAHWEH who lifts and who lowers men; For He righteously will judge.

In the hand of YAHWEH there is a cup, And the wine therein is red;
It is full of wrath from which He pours; Wicked men must drain its dregs.
But I shall declare and praise my YAHWEH; To the YAHWEH of Jacob sing!
For YAHWEH shall lift up the righteous man; And shall cut off wicked men.

In Judah YAHWEH is known and feared; In Israel His NAME is great;
His tent in Salem He hath reared; His royal seat in Zion hath made.
There He broke arrows of the bow, The shield, the sword and war's array;
More excellent, O YAHWEH, art Thou, More glorious far than hills of prey.

The stout of heart are spoiled in fight, A deadly sleep the warrior slept;
No hand of all the men of might; Its wonted strength or cunning kept.
O Jacob's YAHWEH, at Thy command, The chariot and the horse went down;
For Thou art fearful, who can stand, In the tempest of Thy frown?

From heaven YAHWEH His judgment gave, The trembling earth stood still and feared;
When all the meek on earth to save; For righteous judgment YAHWEH appeared.
Let all around their presents bring, To Him whom all the world should fear;
He cuts off princes, YAHWEH the King, Shall fearful to earth's kings appear.

Unto YAHWEH I lift my voice; Unto Him I cry.
In the day my trouble comes, Then I seek my YAHWEH.
In the night I do not cease, I am overwhelmed;
I remember YAHWEH and moan; Never close my eyes.

I consider days of old; Years of ancient times.
I commune with mine own heart; Search and meditate.
Will YAHWEH cast off His love, And no more be kind?
Is this now my lot and trial; Will His kindness fail?

Has the Most High YAHWEH strength no more; Has His promise failed?
Then I think of His great works; Muse on wonders old.
I will talk of His great deeds; Who is great like YAHWEH?
YAHWEH's true way is holiness; Far removed from sin.

By YAHWEH's mighty arm and strength, Israel was saved.
Then the waters of the seas Saw and did obey.
Clouds poured forth and lightnings flashed; Thunders rent the skies;
Whirlwinds shook the earth below; YAHWEH so led His flock.

O YAHWEH the Shepherd of Israel thy art;
Hear Thou our pray'r and Thy favor impart;
Thou leader of Joseph, Thou guide of his way,
'Mid cherubim dwelling Thy glory display.
In Ephraim's, Manasseh's, and Benjamin's sight,
Come Thou and save us; awake in Thy might.

How long in anger will Thou turn away,
O YAHWEH of hosts, when Thy people do pray?
With tears and sorrow their table is laid;
Of bitter mixture their drink hast Thou made.
Give us Thy favor, restore us Thy grace;
Then we shall live in the light of Thy face.

Thou made us a scorn to our neighbors around;
Our foes in laughter and scoffing abound.
O Thou, YAHWEH of Isr'el, return unto Thine;
Look down from heaven and visit this vine;
No more shall we wander, delighting in shame;
Save us, O YAHWEH, for we call on Thy name.

Praise YAHWEH with a Psalm, Sing songs of praise to Him!
Play on the timbrel and the harp, And make a joyful noise!
This is a statute and a law, YAHWEH has ordained for us;
In the appointed time to keep; this do on YAHWEH's solemn feast!

Blow on the trumpet, sing a Psalm, Make joyful noise to YAHWEH!
He has delivered us from sin, Saved us from Egypt's land!
We cried to YAHWEH in bondage there; YAHWEH heard and answered us;
From thunder clouds He answered us: Hear, O my people, hear my words!

But His own people would not hear, They would not hear His voice;
They only wanted their own way, Following in their lusts.
O that my people would obey; Walking in all my ways!
I should have soon delivered them; Turned my hand against their foes!

In the midst of magistrates, YAHWEH His judgment gives.
This He asks, how long will you Thus unjustly judge,
To respect the wicked's cause, And the righteous blame?
Judge the poor and fatherless; Judge them righteously.

Earth's foundations have been moved; All in darkness walk.
Judges of the earth know not Nor will understand;
YAHWEH has said they are like Els, Sons of YAHWEH Most High;
But they all shall die like men; And as princes fall.

Keep not silence, O my YAHWEH; Your foes plot their schemes;
That the name of Israel May be blotted out;
Put them all to shame, O YAHWEH, As they would Your sons;
Rise and judge, Eternal One, For the earth is Yours!

Let men know that You, O YAHWEH, The Eternal One,
Are Most High o'er all the earth; Let men know Your NAME!
They know not nor understand; They shall die like men;
Rise and judge, Eternal One, For the earth is Yours!

How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Eternal YAHWEH of Hosts!
My soul is longing, fainting for Thee, O living YAHWEH.
Yea, the bird has found its home, built a nest to lay her young;
O that I may find Thine altars, My YAHWEH, my King, my YAHWEH!

How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Eternal YAHWEH of Hosts!
For those who dwell in Thy house shall ever sing Thy praise!
Blest and happy is the man, who has found his strength in Thee;
He is stronger day by day, And shall in Zion dwell!

How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Eternal YAHWEH of Hosts!
Give ear unto my prayer, O YAHWEH of Israel;
For a day with Thee is better, than a thousand other days;
O that I may find Thine altars, My YAHWEH, my King, my YAHWEH!

O Eternal, YAHWEH of Hosts, How my heart cries out for Thee;
How my soul longs for Thy courts, And for Thy tabernacles dear.
As the sparrow finds a home, As the swallow finds a nest;
Blest are those who dwell with Thee, O YAHWEH of Hosts, my King, my YAHWEH!

In Thy house, YAHWEH, all are blest; They shall ever sing Thy praise!
Blest and happy is the man Whose strength is in YAHWEH his YAHWEH.
They all go from strength to strength, All appear before their YAHWEH,
YAHWEH of Jacob, hear my prayer, O YAHWEH of Hosts, my King, my YAHWEH!

Now behold, O YAHWEH, our shield; Look on Thine anointed ones;
Hear my prayer, O YAHWEH of Hosts, O YAHWEH of Jacob, now give ear;
Better one day in Thy house, Than a thousand days without;
Better one day in Thy house, O YAHWEH of Hosts, my King, my YAHWEH!

Give ear, O YAHWEH, and answer me, for I am most wretched;
O save my life, Your servant save, for I put my trust in You.
O be merciful to me, for to You I daily cry;
For You are good, and You forgive those who call upon Your NAME.

When trouble comes, I call on You, for it's You who answers me.
Among the idols none is like You; You alone are YAHWEH indeed!
Neither are there any works like the wonders You perform!
Nations You made shall bow to You, and shall glorify Your NAME!

Teach me Your way, O YAHWEH my YAHWEH, that I may walk in Your truth.
Lead me to live loyal to You; with my whole heart praise Your NAME!
For Your mercy is most great; from the grave You saved my life!
Great is Your love, Eternal YAHWEH, I shall glorify Your NAME!

Proud men arise, seeking my life; men who do not care for You.
But You, O YAHWEH, are a great YAHWEH, full of mercy, grace and truth.
Turn to me and pity me, grant Your servant strength, O YAHWEH;
Show unto me Your favor, YAHWEH, that my foe may be ashamed.

O Thou YAHWEH of my salvation, Day and night I cry to Thee;
Hear my humble supplication, Quickly bow Thy ear to me.
Filled with grief my soul is sighing; To the grave my life draws near,
Numbered now among the dying; Like one helpless I appear.

Free to sleep in death's dark chamber, Like the slain within the grave;
Whom Thou dost no more remember, Whom Thy hand no more shall save.
In the pit Thy hand has laid me, In the darkness and in deeps;
Sorely has Thy wrath dismayed me; O'er my soul affliction sweeps.

Mourns my eye, my powers languish, Sore affliction presses me;
YAHWEH, I cry to Thee in anguish, Daily stretch my hands to Thee.
But, O YAHWEH, at dawn awaking, Prayer and cries I'll send to Thee;
Why, my YAHWEH, my soul forsaking, Hidest Thou Thy face from me!

How long, YAHWEH, hide Thou away?
When will Thy wrath not burn like a fire?
Wherefore hast Thou made all men in vain?
Thou, YAHWEH, remember, fleeting is life.

What man can live and never see death?
Who can escape the pow'r of the grave?
Where is the former love, O my YAHWEH?
Which unto David, Thou hast pledged.

Recall, YAHWEH, Thy slave is scorned;
Now I do bear insults of the world;
And with Thy foes mock Thy chosen ones,
Blessed YAHWEH, always. Amen.

YAHWEH, Thou hast been our dwelling place; From all eternity.
Ere ever mountains were brought forth Thou art our YAHWEH forever.
Who knows Thy pow'r, who knows Thy wrath, Which of us dreads Thine anger?
O Thou, Eternal YAHWEH, give us grace; Make us glad that we may rejoice.

Our days are threescore years and ten, Or at the best fourscore.
Even as Thou afflicted us, So make us glad, Eternal YAHWEH.
We were consum'd by Thy great wrath; Our sins were bare before Thee.
Teach us, O YAHWEH, to count our days, That Your wisdom may fill our hearts.

O Thou Eternal, give us peace; O YAHWEH, return to us.
Now let Thy work appear, O YAHWEH, Thy beauty be upon us,
Let us rejoice, let us be glad; Thy mercy be upon us;
Show us Your loving kindnesses, That we may once again rejoice.

How good it is to thank YAHWEH, and to Thy NAME our praises sing;
And to proclaim Thy steadfast love each day, and declare Thy faithfulness by night.
Sing to the music of the lute, and with a solemn sound upon the lyre;
For Thy works have made me glad, O YAHWEH, and of Thy deeds will I sing!

Great are Thy works Eternal YAHWEH; deep are Thy thoughts, O Thou Most High;
Fools and senseless men will never know nor understand Thy ways,
Though the wicked sprout as grass, and evil doers flourish for awhile;
They shall all be rooted and destroyed, while Thou art evermore supreme!

Good men shall flourish like the palm, strong as a cedar shall they be;
For they are planted in YAHWEH's house and they shall grow within His courts;
Even in age shall they bear fruit, rich and green they ever shall be;
For our YAHWEH is faithful evermore, our Rock and righteous YAHWEH!

O come, let us in songs to YAHWEH, Our cheerful voices raise;
In joyful shouts let us the Rock Of our salvation praise!
Before His presence let us come With praise and thankful voice;
Let us sing psalms to Him with grace, and make a joyful noise!

For YAHWEH, the mighty YAHWEH and King; Above all idols He is;
The depths of earth are in His hand, The strength of hills is His.
To Him the spacious sea belongs, For He the same did make;
The dry land also from His hands Its form at first did take.

O come, and let us worship YAHWEH, Let us bow down withal;
And on our knees, before YAHWEH, Our Maker, let us fall.
Because He only is our YAHWEH; And we His people are;
And of His pasture, we are sheep In YAHWEH almighty’s care.

YAHWEH Eternal reigns! Let us rejoice!
Let all the multitudes of earth be glad!
Dark clouds surround Him and fire burns His foes;
Like wax the mountains melt at His return.

His lightnings bare the earth; Men see and shake!
His high authority heavens proclaim!
All those who idols serve shall be ashamed.
Judah rejoices and Zion is glad!

Our YAHWEH is far above all other idols!
He is exalted above all the earth!
He will preserve His Saints; those who love YAHWEH.
Rejoice you righteous and give thanks to YAHWEH!

O sing a new song to YAHWEH, for wonders He hath done!
His right hand and His holy arm Him victory hath won!
YAHWEH, His salvation, hath caused it to be known;
His justice in the nations sight, He openly hath shown.

He mindful of His grace and truth to Isr'el's house hath been;
The great salvation of our YAHWEH all ends of the earth hath seen!
Let all the earth unto YAHWEH send forth a joyful noise,
Lift up your voice aloud to YAHWEH, sing praises and rejoice!

With harp, with harp and voice of psalms, O sing unto YAHWEH !
With trumpets, cornets, gladly sound before YAHWEH the King.
Let seas, and all their fullness roar; the world and dwellers there;
Let floods clap hands and let the hills together joy declare!

O sing a new song to YAHWEH, for wonders He hath done!
His right hand and His holy arm Him victory hath won!
Rejoice, ye hills before YAHWEH; to judge the earth comes He!
He'll judge the world with righteousness; His folk with equity.

The Eternal YAHWEH reigneth high above; YAHWEH is mighty, YAHWEH is great.
There between the cherubim He sits; let the people praise His NAME!
He is King and He maintains the right; He restoreth equity;
Worship and exalt the Eternal One! Holy YAHWEH, mighty Majesty!

The Eternal One is YAHWEH and King, And YAHWEH spoke unto His priests;
In the pillar of the cloud He spoke; Unto them who kept His law.
Moses is among them, Aaron too; They extolled YAHWEH their YAHWEH.
Samuel also called upon His NAME; YAHWEH did hear and answered them.

O Eternal YAHWEH, You did answer them, You forgave and You aveng'd;
So, exalt the One Eternal YAHWEH, Who in Zion is most great!
He is King and He maintains the right; He restoreth equity;
Worship and exalt the Eternal One! Holy YAHWEH, mighty Majesty!

All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to YAHWEH with cheerful voice.
Serve Him with joy, His praises tell, Come ye before YAHWEH and rejoice!
And know YAHWEH is YAHWEH in deed; Without our aid He did us make;
We are His flock, He doth us feed, And for His sheep He doth us take.

O enter then His gates with praise, Gaily approach unto His courts:
Praise YAHWEH, and bless His NAME alway, For it is seemly so to do.
For YAHWEH our YAHWEH is ever good, His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure.

I'll sing of mercy and of justice, YAHWEH, I'll sing to Thee;
With wisdom in a perfect way shall my behavior be.
O when, in kindness unto me, wilt Thou be pleased to come?
I with a perfect heart will walk within my house at home.

I will endure no wicked thing before mine eyes to be;
I hate their work that turn aside, it shall not cleave to me.
A stubborn and a forward heart shall quite depart from me;
A person giv'n to wickedness I will not know at all.

I'll cut him off that slandereth his neighbor privily;
The haughty heart I will not bear, nor him that looketh high.
Upon the faithful of the land mine eyes shall always be;
With favor shall I look on them that they may dwell with me.

No man who practices deceit shall dwell within my house;
And in my presence shall no man remain who utters lies.
Yea, all the wicked of the land I early will destroy;
And cut off evildoers from the city of YAHWEH.

Hear my prayer, O Thou Eternal YAHWEH, Hide not Thy face from me.
Hear my cry and quickly answer When my day of trouble comes.
Like grass my heart is withered, My days like grass consumed;
My YAHWEH, take not my life now, In the midst of my days.

Like an owl in some poor wasteland, I mourn and cannot sleep;
Like a melancholy sparrow, Like a pelican alone.
O Thou, YAHWEH, hear me, And answer speedily;
Hide not Thy face from me, YAHWEH, For I moan bitterly.

When our YAHWEH returns from heaven, Then Zion shall be built;
He shall come in all His glory; He shall help the destitute;
Their prayers YAHWEH will despise not, Their groaning YAHWEH will hear;
And they shall dwell in safety, for our YAHWEH shall return.

When all people then are gathered To serve YAHWEH their YAHWEH;
To declare His NAME in Zion, In Jerusalem His praise!
All kings shall see His glory, All nations hear His NAME!
His fame shall be declared then; He shall reign forevermore!

Bless YAHWEH the Eternal, O my soul, Bless His holy sacred NAME!
And forget not all His benefits To those who fear His NAME.
YAHWEH forgives all our iniquities; Our diseases He will heal;
From destruction YAHWEH redeems our life, And He crowns us with His love!

Bless YAHWEH the Eternal, O my soul, Let the heavens praise His NAME!
For His mercy is as high above As heav'n above the earth.
Not according to our many sins Has YAHWEH so dealt with us;
For as far as east is from the west, YAHWEH removes from us our sins!

Bless YAHWEH the Eternal, O my soul, Let the angels praise His NAME!
For in heaven YAHWEH has fixed His throne And there He rules the earth.
YAHWEH vindicates the cause Of all those who have been wronged;
For His mercy is as high above As the heav'ns above the earth!

Bless YAHWEH the Eternal, O my soul, For His love always endures!
And His loyalty is to our sons Who keep all His commands.
As for man, he blossoms like a flow'r, And his days are like the grass;
But from death YAHWEH redeems our life, And He crowns us with His love!

O bless and praise YAHWEH, O my soul, praise his NAME!
Eternal One, my YAHWEH, Thou art very great!
O Thou art arrayed in glorious majesty.
Thou cov'rest Thyself with light as with a robe.

YAHWEH spreadest the heavens; made them like a tent;
YAHWEH buildest Thy chambers on waters above;
YAHWEH formest the clouds to be Thy chariot;
YAHWEH walketh and rideth on the wings of wind.

YAHWEH makest the winds to be Thy messengers;
And also Thy ministers flames of fire;
YAHWEH didst set the earth on its foundations,
So that it never should be shaken or be moved.

With the deep Thou didst cover earth as with a robe;
Till waters rose and stood over mountains great;
They fled at Thy rebuke; Thy voice of thunder;
At YAHWEH’s command mountains rose and valleys formed.

Give thanks to YAHWEH! Hallelujah, praise Him!
Praise Him for He is good and His mercy endures.
Who can show forth YAHWEH's great works?
Who can show praise that is due unto Him?
Happy are they who observe righteousness;
They shall rejoice, with YAHWEH's chosen ones.

Remember us, O YAHWEH, our YAHWEH;
Favor Your people with Your great saving pow'r.
We have all sinned as our fathers of old;
Yet were they saved that Your works might be known.
They did not then understand those great works;
Save us, O YAHWEH our YAHWEH, with Your own chosen ones.

YAHWEH held the sea, And the waters were dried;
Our fathers crossed the sea as on wilderness land.
Waters then rushed over all of their foes;
They sang His praise but they soon did forget.
YAHWEH gave them up to their selfish desires;
Save us, O YAHWEH our YAHWEH, that we may give You praise.

O give thanks and praise YAHWEH, Call upon His sacred NAME;
Let His deeds be known among nations; Sing to YAHWEH, sing songs of praise.
Tell of all His marvelous wonders, Glory in YAHWEH’s most holy NAME!
Let the hearts of those rejoice, Who seek YAHWEH and fear His NAME;
Worship YAHWEH forever and ever; Never forget His wonderful works!

O remember all of YAHWEH’s judgments, All His deeds and wonders great;
O remember, children of Isr'el, He made you His chosen ones!
He is our YAHWEH now and forever! YAHWEH is Eternal, great is his NAME!
Over all He reigns supreme, All His judgments fill the earth.
YAHWEH of Abrah'm, Isaac and Jacob, Glory to Him, Sing praise to His NAME!

The Eternal's word is forever; He confirmed His covenant;
For a thousand generations, To His people Israel.
For He gave to them a possession, For an everlasting domain;
As their portion evermore, Canaan's land He gave to them.
YAHWEH of Abrah'm, Isaac and Jacob, Glory to Him, Sing praise to His NAME!

O that men would praise YAHWEH for all His goodness and all His works!
For He fills the hungry soul and they who are thirsty He satisfies.
Some are bound in darkness and chains; For their rebellion against the Most High.

O that men would praise YAHWEH for all His goodness and all His love.
He has opened the prisons wide and saved men from death where they lay enslaved;
In their trouble they cried to Him And with His word He delivered their lives.

O that men would praise YAHWEH for all He does for the sons of men.
O that they would give thanks to Him with shouts of joy and with songs of praise!
Some crossed o'er the stormy seas; They see the wonders of YAHWEH in the deep.

Praise you YAHWEH with your whole heart give praise; Where the upright are assembled for YAHWEH;
His glorious works shall forever endure, Worthy of honor and praise.
There is no end unto His righteousness; Great works of wonder YAHWEH makes,
That we may know YAHWEH is good, Full of compassion and grace.

For those who fear YAHWEH our YAHWEH will provide; Ever His cov'nant He will not forget;
He showed His people the pow'r of His works, Lands of the heathen to gain.
Judgment and truth are the works of His hands, All YAHWEH’s commandments are sure;
They are all done in uprightness and truth; They shall forever endure.

Unto His people redemption He sent; YAHWEH has commanded His cov'nant alway;
Steadfast and sure it forever will stand; Holy and rev'rend His NAME.
Wisdom begins with the fear of YAHWEH; YAHWEH's praise endureth for aye;
His laws impart understanding and grace To those who heed and obey.

When Isr'el out of Egypt went and did his dwelling change,
When Jacob's house went out from those who were of language strange,
YAHWEH, Judah made to be His own and Isr'el His domain;
At the sight of them the sea quickly fled, Jordan was driven back.

Like rams the mountains and like lambs the hills skipped to and fro.
O sea, what ails you, that you flee; O Jordan, that you turn back?
What ails you mountains, that you skip, you skip and leap like rams;
What ails you, hills, that you did leap, That you did leap like lambs?

O at the presence of YAHWEH, earth trembled so with fear.
O as the presence of YAHWEH of Jacob did appear;
Who from the hard and stony rock did pools of water bring;
And by His pow'r He turned the flint Into a water spring.

Not unto us, Eternal YAHWEH, But unto Thy NAME give praise!
Glory unto Thee belongs; Truth and mercy sure.
They who trust in YAHWEH, They who fear Him, small and great;
He will be their help and shield. Praise belongs to YAHWEH!

Our YAHWEH is on His throne in heav'n; He has done what pleases Him.
So why do the heathen say, Where is now your YAHWEH?
Israel, trust in YAHWEH! He will be your help and shield;
House of Aaron, trust your YAHWEH, Help and shield is He.

Men make their idols with their hands, idols of silver, idols of gold;
They have mouths but do not speak; Ears but do not hear!
Israel, trust in YAHWEH! All who fear Him He will bless!
He will be your help and shield. Praise belongs to YAHWEH!

O give thanks unto our YAHWEH; Blessed be His NAME!
His mercy shall always endure; His kindness never fails.
Let Israel confess to YAHWEH: His mercy always shall endure;
Let Aaron's household now repeat, His mercy never fails!

I called upon YAHWEH my YAHWEH; In distress I cried!
He answered me and set me free; Put your confidence in YAHWEH.
With YAHWEH on my side; Why should I fear what men can do?
Trust not in princes nor in man; Better far to trust in YAHWEH!

All nations compassed me about; Compassed me like bees;
But YAHWEH is my strength; In his NAME I cut them off.
Open the gates of righteousness; Where all the righteous enter in;
I shall not die but there shall live, And shall tell of all His works!

O give thanks unto our YAHWEH; He has answered me!
He my salvation has become; He the chief, the cornerstone.
He by the builders was refused; He was rejected by His own.
YAHWEH is our YAHWEH who show'd us light; Blessed be the NAME of YAHWEH!

O how love I YAHWEH’s law! It is ever with me;
It is my meditation; All the day in my thoughts.
I have held back my feet From the ways of this world;
YAHWEH hast given me wisdom By Thy righteous commands.

O how love I YAHWEH’s law! It is ever with me;
I have more understanding Than the ancients of old.
From thy precepts I learn Ev'ry false way to hate;
I have more understanding For I dwell on Thy law.

O how love I YAHWEH’s law! It is ever with me;
Thy commands make me wiser Than my unfriendly foes.
O how sweet are Thy words, More than honey is sweet!
From Thy judgments, Eternal YAHWEH, Let me never depart.

With my whole heart have I cried to Thee; O YAHWEH hear my prayer;
For I keep Thy law and meditate on Thy precepts night and day.
I am up before the dawn to pray; For my hope is in Thy word.
Hear my voice according to Thy great love; Save me YAHWEH, and quicken me.

My pursuers come with malice near; And Thy law they do not keep;
But YAHWEH, Thou art near to me and all Thy commands are true;
Thou hast founded them forever, YAHWEH, They are valid for all time.
Look on my affliction, deliver me; For I love Thy law, O YAHWEH.

I do not forget Thy law, O YAHWEH; How I love all Thy commands;
But the wicked do not seek Thy law and Thy way is far from them.
Many are my persecutors, YAHWEH, Yet I never turned from Thee.
O consider how I do love Thy law; For YAHWEH’s law is truth and love.

I hate the thoughts of vanity but I do love YAHWEH’s law.
Thou art my shield and hiding place; I on Thy word rely.
All ye who evil doers are, from me depart away;
Because the precepts of my YAHWEH I purpose to obey.

Uphold and strengthen me according to Thy faithful word;
That I may live and of Thy hope, may never be ashamed.
O, hold me safe, and ever in Thy will let me delight;
That for the statutes of my YAHWEH I may have deep respect.

My YAHWEH will set at naught all those who from His precepts stray;
For their own lies are all in vain, and they themselves deceive.
For all the wicked of the earth are counted but as dross;
And therefore do I love YAHWEH’s law and testimonies pure.

YAHWEH, You dealt well with me as Your word says;
Teach me in judgment and knowledge, I pray.
Although I strayed, I have turned to your ways,
And I believe Your commandments are just.
Proud men and unholy besmear me with lies;
Their minds are dull and their hearts are as gross!
But I delight in YAHWEH’s precepts and laws;
More than with thousands in silver and gold.

Your hands have fashioned and made me, O YAHWEH;
To understand and to learn Your commands;
Those who see me shall fear You and rejoice,
Because I trusted and hoped in Your word.
I know, O YAHWEH, that Your judgments are right;
You did afflict me in Your faithfulness.
But now console me with Your steadfast love;
For I rely on YAHWEH’s mercy and love.

For YAHWEH’s salvation my soul does cry out;
I have become like a wineskin in smoke;
Yet do I not forget Your righteous law.
How many days must Your servant endure?
When will You judge those who, persecute me;
Those who are false and regard not Your law?
They have almost made an end of my life;
But as for me, I forsake not YAHWEH’s law.

In distress I cried unto YAHWEH and He did hear my prayer.
Save my soul from lying lips and from deceitful tongues, O YAHWEH;
O what will you get from YAHWEH; what reward, O crafty tongue?
Arrows sharp shall pour on you with burning coals of juniper.

Woe is me that I sojourn in Mesech for so long a time;
And, alas, that in the tents of Kedar I should dwell therein;
My soul hath long dwelt with them; those who hate the peace I love;
But however peaceably I speak to them, then they're for war.

I will lift mine eyes unto the hills, from whence does my help come?
For my help comes from YAHWEH who made the heaven and the earth;
He will never let you slip, YAHWEH who keeps you never sleeps.
YAHWEH who keepeth Israel will never slumber, never sleep.

Neither sun nor moon shall smite you by the day nor by the night;
For YAHWEH will keep you from all evil, and shall save your life.
He'll protect your going out; He'll protect your coming in;
YAHWEH will guard and keep your life from this time forth and evermore.

To the hills I'll lift mine eyes; Ah, from whence shall come my help?
All my help comes from YAHWEH Who hath made the heaven and earth.
He will e'er be thy guide, And thy foot shall never slide;
YAHWEH who keepeth Israel, Never slumbers, never sleeps.

YAHWEH thy keeper still shall stand, As a shade on thy right hand;
Neither sun by day shall smite, Nor the silent moon by night.
YAHWEH shall guard from all ill, Keep thy soul in safety still;
Both without and in thy door, YAHWEH will keep thee evermore.

Unless YAHWEH shall build the house, The weary builders toil in vain;
Unless YAHWEH the city shields. The guards maintain a useless watch.
In vain you rise ere morning break, And late your nightly Vigils keep,
And bread of anxious care partake; YAHWEH gives to His beloved sleep.

Lo, children are the gift of YAHWEH, And sons the blessing YAHWEH commands;
These whom in youthful days bestowed, Are like the shafts in warrior's hands.
And happy they whose quivers bear Full store of arrows such as these;
They in the gate are free from fear, And boldly face their enemies.

That man is blest who fears YAHWEH; Who lives and walks in all His ways;
For of his labor shall he eat; And he shall prosper all his days.
His wife shall be a fruitful vine; His children all like olive plants.
Behold the man who fears YAHWEH! To him His blessing will afford.

Blest and happy is he who obeys and fears YAHWEH;
He shall earn his daily bread and it shall be well with him.
With his wife in his house as a vine that bears fruit;
And his sons 'round his table, shall like olive plants be.

Blest and happy is he who obeys and fears YAHWEH;
Out of Zion YAHWEH the Eternal will this blessing send him:
All the days of his life he and his sons shall thrive;
They shall see Isr'el flourish; In Jerusalem, peace.

YAHWEH is our Refuge and our Strength, In straits a present aid;
Therefore although the earth remove, We will not be afraid.

Though hills amidst the seas be cast; Tho waters roaring make;
And troubled be; yea though the hills By swelling seas do shake.

A river is, whose streams make glad The City of our YAHWEH;
The holy place, wherein YAHWEH Most High hath His abode.

YAHWEH in the midst of her doth dwell; And nothing shall her move;
YAHWEH to her an helper will, And that right early, prove.

YAHWEH, from the depths to Thee I cried; My voice, YAHWEH do Thou hear:
Unto my supplication's voice Give an attentive ear.

YAHWEH, who shall stand, if Thou, O YAHWEH, Shouldst mark iniquity?
But yet with Thee forgiveness is, That feared Thou mayest be.

I wait for YAHWEH, my soul doth wait; My hope is in YAHWEH.
More than they that for morning watch, My soul waits for YAHWEH.

I say, more than they that do watch The morning light to see.
Let Israel hope in YAHWEH, For with YAHWEH mercies be.

Redemption also plenteous Is ever found with Him:
And from all his iniquities YAHWEH Isr'el shall redeem.

Out of the depths Have I cried unto YAHWEH;
If the Eternal One should mark our sins;
Who the, Almighty YAHWEH, could hope to stand?
But YAHWEH shows mercy to those who fear Him.

I wait for YAHWEH; In YAHWEH’s Word have I hope;
On the Eternal YAHWEH my soul does wait.
More than those who watch for morning to come.
I say more than those who for morning watch.

Let Isr'el hope; There is mercy with YAHWEH.
Plent'ous redemption from iniquity.
In the Eternal YAHWEH shall Isr'el hope.
Let the Eternal YAHWEH in love be feared.

YAHWEH, remember David now, and think on all his weight of care,
How to You he made his vow, and to Jacob's mighty YAHWEH He sware:
I'll not tread within my hall, nor on my bed will seek repose;
No sleep on my eyes shall fall, nor slumber shall my eyelids close.

Til for Jacob's mighty YAHWEH I find a sure and fit abode.
Of the ark at Ephratah we heard and found it in the wood.
Let us go to where YAHWEH dwells and at His footstool bow us low.
Rise, O YAHWEH, come to Your rest; and the ark Your might and strength to show.

YAHWEH in truth to David swore, and His oath He never shall disown:
On YAHWEH’s throne Your seed shall reign; if My cov'nant and My laws they keep.
High on Zion's holy hill YAHWEH has fixed His dwelling bright:
Here I'll dwell forevermore; the chosen rest of my delight.

I will bless her with increase; with bread her poor will satisfy;
And her priests I'll clothe with peace, and all her Saints shall shout for joy.
David's horn shall bud and grow, thence my anointed light shall stream.
Utter shame will clothe his foe, but bright his endless crown shall stream.

Hallelujah! Praise YAHWEH's NAME! Praise His NAME of whom you serve!
You who stand within YAHWEH's house shall praise His NAME within His courts!
Praise the YAHWEH for He is good; Sing your praises to His NAME!
YAHWEH has chosen for Himself, as His prized possession, Israel.

YAHWEH is great above all idols, What He pleases that He does;
In the heav'n and on the earth; in the seas and depth of oceans wide;
Raises mists o'er all the earth; Sends the lightning and the rain;
And in Egypt He it was struck the firstborn both of man and beast.

YAHWEH sent signs and wonders great In the midst of Egypt's land:
Many nations did he strike; many mighty kings for Israel.
Great Your NAME Eternal YAHWEH; Great Your fame forevermore!
Both endure to ev'ry age and to generations yet to come.

O give thanks, unto the YAHWEH; Give thanks unto the Almighty YAHWEH;
He performs wonderful works; He stretch'd the earth above the sea!
Give thanks to YAHWEH for He is good; He who alone doeth great works!
His kindness shall always endure, YAHWEH’s mercy never fails!

O give thanks, unto YAHWEH; For it was He who made great lights;
For the day he made the sun; And for the night the moon and stars!
Give thanks to YAHWEH for He is good; He who alone doeth great works!
His kindness shall always endure, His mercy never fails!

O give thanks, unto YAHWEH; He struck at Egypt's stubborn pride;
Their first-born He took in wrath; He led His people thru the sea!
Give thanks to YAHWEH for He is good; He who alone doeth great works!
His kindness shall always endure, YAHWEH’s mercy never fails!

O give thanks, unto YAHWEH; For mighty kings of mighty names,
He destroyed and put to shame; Isr'el was saved from all their foes!
Give thanks to YAHWEH for He is good; He who alone doeth great works!
His kindness shall always endure, YAHWEH’s mercy never fails!

By the waters of Babylon, There we wept and there sat down;
Hung our harps on the willow trees, Zion, yet we remember'd thee!
Then our captors required of us; Sing a song of Zion now!
Could we sing YAHWEH's songs, By the waters of Babylon?

Let my right hand forget her skill, If Jerusalem I forget;
If I fail to remember thee, Let my tongue cleave unto my mouth!
But we thought of Jerusalem, When we sat near Zion's streams.
Far above even our chief joy, We remember'd Jerusalem.

In that day of Jerus'lem's fall, When the children of Edom said,
Down with her, down unto the ground, Even to the foundations!
O thou daughter of Babylon, To thy ruin hast'ning on;
Happy he that rewardeth thee, Just as thou unto us hast done.

YAHWEH, I will praise Thee with my whole heart;
I'll sing Thy praises before all the idols;
Worship and bow t'ward Thy holy place,
Praising Thy NAME for Thy kind love so true.

More than Thy NAME Thy Word is enlarged;
And when I cried in that day Thou didst hear;
Thou strengthened me with Thy strength, O YAHWEH;
Kings of the earth will then hear, praising YAHWEH.

Yes, they shall hear, O YAHWEH of Thy ways;
Then shall they sing for Thy glory is great;
Though YAHWEH is high the poor He respects;
But strikes the proud down from His sovereign height.

Though in the midst of trouble I walk;
YAHWEH wilt preserve with Thy right hand, my life;
YAHWEH wilt fulfill Thy purpose for me;
YAHWEH’s steadfast love will endure evermore.

YAHWEH You have searched and have compassed my path.
You, O Eternal YAHWEH, know all my ways.
You are before me and You are behind;
There is no word on my tongue that You miss;
My downfall and my uprising You know;
Your knowledge, YAHWEH, is so far above me.

Where shall I go from Your spirit, O YAHWEH?
Where shall I flee from Your presence, O YAHWEH?
If up to heaven, behold You are there;
If down to hell, You would soon find me there;
If I take wings or dwell far out at sea;
Even Your right hand shall hold me, O YAHWEH.

Though darkness comes and the night covers me,
Even the darkness hides nothing from YAHWEH.
Yea, even darkness shall shine as the day;
To the Eternal YAHWEH they both are alike;
He knew my life ere before I was born;
How vast, O YAHWEH, is the sum of Your thoughts!

Hear my cry Eternal YAHWEH; Let my voice rise unto Thee;
Let my prayer as incense be; As the evening sacrifice.
Set a watch on my mouth; O YAHWEH, guard my lips;
Let my heart not turn to sin; Nor to practice wicked ways.

O YAHWEH, hear my cry; Let the righteous smite reprove;
'Tis a kindness to desire; I will pray for their good will.
Let my heart turn from sin; Not to works of wicked men;
I would never taste their feasts; Their own judges are thrown down.

Hear my cry Eternal YAHWEH; Tell the wicked of your threats;
How their bones shall lie around; Scattered at the mouth of graves.
O my YAHWEH, turn mine eyes; Let me perish not with them;
Save me from the snare they lay; Let them fall in their own net.

To the Eternal YAHWEH I will cry, and with my voice will I entreat;
Pouring before YAHWEH all my woes, for I am overwhelmed and faint;
In my path lies a hidden snare; there is none who will help nor care;
No refuge safe is there but YAHWEH; all help fails that is not from Him.

To the Eternal YAHWEH I will cry, Thou art my refuge from all strife;
Give ear, attend my fervent cry; hear me, for I am very low;
Save me from my pursuing foes; for their strength is far more than mine;
Then shall I give thanks to Thy NAME, for Thy bountiful goodness, YAHWEH.

Give ear to my prayer, O YAHWEH, And my supplications hear;
Answer me in faithfulness; In Thy righteousness.
Into judgment enter not With Thy servant, YAHWEH, I pray;
For no living man is just, Righteous in YAHWEH’s sight.

For the enemy, my foe, Persecuted he my soul;
My life hath he smitten down; Down unto the ground;
Made me in the darkness dwell; As those that have long been dead.
My spirit is overwhelmed, My heart desolate.

I remember days of old; Meditate on all YAHWEH’s ways;
And I muse on all Thy works; All YAHWEH’s hands have wrought.
After Thee my soul does thirst; As a thirsty land, Selah.
Hear me, YAHWEH, make haste I pray, For my spirit fails.

YAHWEH hear me, I pray of Thee, Hide not Thou Thy face from me;
Lest like unto them I be; Down unto the dust.
Cause Thy servant, YAHWEH, to hear; Show Thy loving kindness, YAHWEH;
For I lift my soul to Thee; I in YAHWEH do trust.

YAHWEH, teach me that I may know of the way where I should go;
For to Thee I lift my soul, set me free from all my foes.
Unto Thee I flee to hide me, teach me now Thy will to do;
For Thou Eternal, art my YAHWEH. Lead me by Thy Spirit good!

Bring my soul from trouble and for Thy NAME's sake quicken me;
Lead me to the land of refuge, and for Thy mercy's sake;
Cut off all my foes, destroy them, they which do afflict my soul;
O Thou Eternal, righteous YAHWEH; for I am Thy servant, YAHWEH.

O YAHWEH, Thou art my YAHWEH and King! I'll Thee exalt, Thy praise proclaim!
I will Thee bless, and gladly sing, Forever to Thy holy NAME!
YAHWEH our YAHWEH most gracious is, in YAHWEH compassions also flow;
In mercy YAHWEH is rich to bless, But unto anger YAHWEH is slow.

To all YAHWEH is very good, O'er all His works YAHWEH’s mercy is;
Thy works all praise to Thee afford; Thy Saints O YAHWEH, Thy NAME shall bless.
YAHWEH’s Kingdom's glory they shall show; they shall Thy power also tell;
So that men's sons His deeds may know, YAHWEH’s kingdom's grace that doth excel.

Praise ye YAHWEH! Praise ye YAHWEH!
Praise from the heavens and praise in the heights!
Praise YAHWEH, ye angels, Praise YAHWEH, ye hosts,
And praise YAHWEH, ye sun, moon and stars in the heights!
Heaven of heavens, waters above;
Praise YAHWEH let all praise His NAME!
When He commanded they were created,
And by a decree fixed their bounds evermore!

Praise ye YAHWEH! Ye mammals and deeps too,
Fire, hail and windstorms fulfilling His word!
Vapours and snow all hills, too, and mountains,
All cedars and fruitful trees, let's praise YAHWEH’s NAME!
Wild beasts and cattle, birds and all reptiles,
Earth's kings and judges, all people and chiefs;
Young men and maidens, old men and children;
All praise ye the NAME of our YAHWEH evermore!

Praise ye YAHWEH! Praise ye YAHWEH!
Praise from the heavens and praise in the heights!
Praise YAHWEH, ye angels, Praise YAHWEH, ye hosts,
His glory is higher than heaven above;
YAHWEH lifted high the horn of His people;
YAHWEH has exalted the praise of His Saints;
They are a people near unto YAHWEH,
The children of Israel, praise ye YAHWEH!

Sing unto the Eternal, Sing your praises to Him;
Put your trust not in mortals, for in them is no help.
Hallelujah! Praise YAHWEH! The Eternal shall reign!
He shall reign for all ages; Our YAHWEH and our King!

Sing unto the Eternal YAHWEH, Give your praises to Him!
YAHWEH was who made heaven, earth and sea and all things.
Hallelujah! Praise YAHWEH! The Eternal shall reign!
He shall reign for all ages; Our YAHWEH and our King!

Sing unto YAHWEH, Let your hope be in Him;
He remains true forever; YAHWEH gives justice to all.
Hallelujah! Praise YAHWEH! The Eternal YAHWEH shall reign!
He shall reign for all ages; Our YAHWEH and our King!

Come, YAHWEHSHUA Almighty King, Help us Thy NAME to sing,
Help us to praise:FATHER YAHWEH, all glorious, O'er all victorious,
Come and reign over us, Ancient of Days.

Come, YAHWEHSHUA Incarnate Word, Gird on Thy mighty sword,
And us defend. Come and Thy people bless, And give Thy word success,
Spirit of holiness, Our pray'r attend.

Come, Holy Advocate, A pure heart in us create;
In this glad hour Thou who Almighty art, Open our minds to see,
What YAHWEHSHUA would have us be; Spirit of pow'r.

YAHWEH's my Shepherd, I'll not want; He makes me down to lie.
In pastures green; He leadeth me The quiet waters by.

My soul He doth restore again; And me to walk doth make,
Within the paths of righteousness, E'en for His own NAME's sake.

Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, Yet will I fear none ill;
For Thou art with me; and Thy rod And staff me comfort still.

My table Thou hast furnished in presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint, And my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me;
And in YAHWEH's house forevermore My dwelling place shall be.

I will sing to YAHWEH; He has triumphed glor'ously!
YAHWEH has stretch'd out His right hand and hurled the foe into the sea!
O YAHWEH, You are my strength, my song, my great salvation!
YAHWEH, He is my YAHWEH and I will glorify His NAME!

I will chase them and overtake them; catch them and divide the spoil;
Said the foe, I will destroy them but the foe drown'd in the sea!
O YAHWEH, at Your blast the waters piled up, tides were damm'd!
O YAHWEH, who is like You, glorious in holiness!

Nations heard of it and trembled; dread and terror on them fell;
Chiefs of Edom were affrighted; they all trembled in their fear!
Pharoah's horsemen and his chariots sank into the churning sea!
YAHWEH led His people over dry land thru the sea!

Thee will I love, O YAHWEH, my might, my rock, my help, my saving pow'r,
My YAHWEH, my trust, my shield in fight, my great salvation, my high tow'r!
To YAHWEH is my prayer, To whom all praise we owe;
So shall I by His watchful care, Safely be guarded from my foe.

In my distress I called on YAHWEH, To YAHWEH raised my prayer;
My voice He from His temple heard, My cry ascended to YAHWEH’s ear.
He bowed the heav'ns His high abode, Came in the dark of night;
He on a cherub swiftly rode, And on the wings of wind YAHWEH’s flight.

YAHWEH’s deadly shafts around He threw, His foes dispersed in wild retreat;
Like burning darts YAHWEH’s lightnings flew, Scattering them in sore defeat.
YAHWEH sent from heav'n and rescued me From waters swelling high;
From those that hate me set me free, And foes that stronger were than I.

For who but YAHWEH should be adored; Who but our YAHWEH can us befriend?
Who is a rock besides YAHWEH; Who else is able to defend?
On YAHWEH I relied, And over foes prevailed;
With the Almighty YAHWEH on my side, Their lofty walls I fearless scaled.

Blow the horn, let Zion hear, for YAHWEH's day is now at hand;
Let the people tremble in this day of clouds and gloominess;
Troops so great and mighty strong, there has never been the like;
Nothing shall escape as they devour the stubble on their way.

Fire before them shall devour, flames ablaze are left behind;
Such as Eden was shall become a wilderness that's desolate;
Like the noise of chariots; and as horsemen do they run;
Nothing shall escape as they devour the stubble on their way.

People are faint at their sight, for they run like mighty men,
Moving each on his own way they do not tangle in their paths,
Each does follow his own line, climbing walls like men of war;
Then they charge as warriors and advance like fighters on their way.

They upon the city leap, break thru weapons each unharmed;
Run up on the walls and climb in houses thru the windows leap;
Earth is quaking as they come, heaven shake, stars cease to shine;
Then the Eternal YAHWEH thunders and the sun and moon become both black!

Behold, the day will come; the day of YAHWEH our YAHWEH!
He shall bring all nations in that day against Jerusalem.
They shall take the city and share the spoil in the very midst of them;
Then our YAHWEH Eternal shall go forth and shall fight against our foes!

In that great day of YAHWEH our YAHWEH shall stand on earth!
On the Mount of Olives He shall stand and the mount shall cleave in two!
There shall be a valley of mammoth size; by the Valley you shall flee;
For our YAHWEH Eternal shall be King and shall rule over all the earth!

In that great day of YAHWEH t'will be neither day nor night;
But at eventime it shall be light; it shall be one day to YAHWEH.
Out from Zion shall living waters flow, to the east and to the west;
Then our YAHWEH Eternal shall be King; in that day shall there be one YAHWEH!

Behold, that day shall come when all nations shall obey!
Those of all the nations that are left to Jerusalem shall go;
They shall even go there from year to year, and shall keep the Feast Of Booths;
There shall be one YAHWEH, the Eternal, who is King over all the earth!

Go ye therefore into all the world; preach the gospel unto ev'ry one:
Teach all nations to observe all things I have commanded you.
Baptize them into the singular NAME of the Father and the Son.
Lo, I YAHWEHSHUA shall be with you to the end; lo, I am with you alway.

Those who have believ'd and are baptized shall be saved while others are comdemn'd;
Then as for those who now do believe these signs shall surely follow:
They shall cast out demons in My NAME, they shall not be hurt by deadly things;
And they shall lay hands upon the sick; and the sick shall be made well.

YAHWEHSHUA was taken up into the heav'ns after He had spoken all these words;
There Father YAHWEH did receive Him and place Him at YAHWEH’s right hand.
His disciples went out as He said; and they preach'd the gospel ev'rywhere;
YAHWEHSHUA worked with them and confirmed the word, by those signs which followed them.

Not many wise men now are called, Not many noble brethren;
Not many mighty, chosen ones, For you see your calling:
Sons of YAHWEHSHUA, you are called, Not because of greatness;
Even the wisdom of mankind, Is to YAHWEHSHUA but foolish.

YAHWEHSHUA chose the foolish of the world; He chose the weak and base things;
He chose the things which are despised, That no flesh should glory.
Sons of YAHWEHSHUA, you are called, Not because of greatness;
You who are called and now in YAHWEHSHUA, Shall confound the mighty.

Even the foolishness of YAHWEHSHUA, Wiser by far than man is;
Even the weakness of our YAHWEHSHUA, Stronger far than man is;
Sons of YAHWEHSHUA, you are called, Not because of greatness;
Let them who glory, boast in YAHWEHSHUA, Not in their own greatness.

Tho' I speak with tongues of men, Tho' I speak as angels,
If I have not charity I am become as nothing.
I become as sounding brass, Or a tinkling cymbal;
With the gift of prophecy, Still I am as nothing.

Tho' I know all mysteries, Tho' I have all knowledge,
If I have not charity I am become as nothing.
Tho' I give all I possess, Let my body burn;
If I have not charity, Then I am as nothing.

Charity will suffer long, Charity is kind,
Envies not nor vaunts itself, Behaveth not unseemly.
Seeketh not to have her way, Nor is eas'ly angered;
If I have not charity, Then I am as nothing.

Charity rejoiceth not In iniquity,
But rejoiceth in the truth; Believes and bears all things;
Hopes all things, endures all things; Never thinketh evil.
If I have not charity, Then I am as nothing.

Whether there be prophecies, Whether there be knowledge,
These shall likewise pass away, But charity remaineth.
Faith and hope and charity; All of these abide;
But among the three of these, Charity is greatest.

YAHWEH speaks to us; by His great power we're led;
Let not your hearts become disquieted.
You trust in Father YAHWEH; believe and trust in the Son;
You trust in Father YAHWEH; believe and trust in the Son.

In Father YAHWEH's vast realm are many offices;
Were it not so I surely would have said;
For I must go; a place for you prepare.
For I must go; a place for you prepare.

And when this place has been prepared for you;
YAHWESHUA the Son will return; with Me you shall be, too.
So that where I am you may also be;
So that where I am you may also be.

O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain;
For purple mountains majesties Above the fruited plain!
America! America! YAHWEHSHUA shed His grace on thee,
And crowned thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.

O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern, impassioned stress;
A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness!
America! America! YAHWEHSHUA mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self control, Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life!
America! America! May YAHWEHSHUA thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness, And ev'ry grace divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years;
Thine alabaster cities gleam, Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! YAHWEHSHUA shed His grace on thee,
And crowned thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!

Onward, YAHWEHSHUA’s soldiers! Marching as to war,
With the word of YAHWEHSHUA Going on before;
YAHWEHSHUA, the royal Master, Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle, See, His banners go!

Onward, YAHWEHSHUA’s soldiers! Marching as to war,
With the word of YAHWEHSHUA Going on before.
Like a mighty army Moves YAHWEHSHUA’s body
Brothers we are treading Where the Saints have trod;

We are not divided, All one body we;
One in hope and doctrine, One in charity.
Onward YAHWEHSHUA’s soldiers! Marching as to war,
With the word of YAHWEHSHUA Going on before.

Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Assembly of YAHWEHSHUA Constant will remain;
Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that Assembly prevail;
We have YAHWEHSHUA's own promise, Which can never fail.

Onward YAHWEHSHUA’s soldiers! Marching as to war,
With the word of YAHWEHSHUA Going on before.
Onward, then, ye people! Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices In the triumph song;

Glory, laud, and honor, Unto YAHWEHSHUA the King;
This thro' countless ages Men and angels sing.
Onward YAHWEHSHUA’s soldiers! Marching as to war,
With the word of YAHWEHSHUA Going on before.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of YAHWEHSHUA Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! HalleluYAHWEHSHUA! Glory! Glory! HalleluYAHWEHSHUA!
Glory! Glory! HalleluYAHWEHSHUA! His truth is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
O be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant my feet!
Our YAHWEHSHUA is marching on.
Glory! Glory! HalleluYAHWEHSHUA! Glory! Glory! HalleluYAHWEHSHUA!
Glory! Glory! HalleluYAHWEHSHUA! Our YAHWEHSHUA is marching on.

In the beauty of the autumn YAHWEH incarnate was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;
As He lives to make men holy, let us live to make men free!
While YAHWEHSHUA is marching on.
Glory! Glory! HalleluYAHWEHSHUA! Glory! Glory! HalleluYAHWEHSHUA!
Glory! Glory! HalleluYAHWEHSHUA! While YAHWEHSHUA is marching on.

Praise ye YAHWEHSHUA, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise YAHWEHSHUA, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, Now to YAHWEHSHUA’s temple draw near;
Join me in glad adoration!

Praise ye YAHWEHSHUA, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen How thy desires e'er have been;
Granted in what He ordaineth?

Praise ye YAHWEHSHUA, who with marvelous wisdom hath made thee!
Decked thee with health, and with loving hand guided and stayed thee;
How oft in grief Hath not He brought thee relief,
Spreading His wings for to shade thee!

Praise ye YAHWEHSHUA, O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen Sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
