Original Trinity Hymnal Lyrics #1 Psalm 100 All People That on Earth Original Trinity Hymnal Lyrics #1 Psalm 100 All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, his praise forth-tell, Come ye before him and rejoice. The Lord ye know is God indeed; Without our aid he did us make; We are his folk, he doth us feed, And for his sheep he doth us take. O enter then his gates with praise, Approach with joy his courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless his name always, For it is seemly so to do. For why? the Lord our God is good, His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure. #2 From Psalm 145 God, my King, thy might confessing, Ever will I bless thy name; Day by day thy throne addressing, Still will I thy praise proclaim. Honor great our God befitteth; Who his majesty can reach? Age to age his work transmitteth, Age to age his power shall teach. They shall talk of all thy glory, On thy might and greatness dwell, Speak of thy dread acts the story, And thy deeds of wonder tell. Nor shall fail from memory's treasure Works by love and mercy wrought; Works of love surpassing measure; Works of mercy passing thought. Full of kindness and compassion, Slow to anger, vast in love, God is good to all creation; All his works his goodness prove. All thy works, O Lord, shall bless thee; Thee shall all thy saints adore: King supreme shall they confess thee, And proclaim thy sovereign power. #3 From Psalm 117 From all that dwell below the skies Let the Creator's praise arise: Let the Redeemer's name be sung Through every land, by every tongue. Eternal are thy mercies, Lord; Eternal truth attends thy Word: Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore Till suns shall rise and set no more. Alleluia! #4 All praise to God, who reigns above, The God of all creation, The God of wonders, pow'r, and love, The God of our salvation! With healing balm my soul he fills, The God who every sorrow stills, To God all praise and glory! What God's almighty pow'r hath made His gracious mercy keepeth; By morning dawn or evening shade His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth; Within the kingdom of his might, Lo, all is just and all is right, To God all praise and glory! I cried to him in time of need: Lord God, O, hear my calling! For death he gave me life indeed And kept my feet from falling. For this my thanks shall endless be; O thank him, thank our God, with me, To God all praise and glory! The Lord forsaketh not his flock, His chosen generation; He is their refuge and their rock, Their peace and their salvation. As with a mother's tender hand He leads his own, his chosen band, To God all praise and glory! Ye who confess Christ's holy name, To God give praise and glory! Ye who the Father's power proclaim, To God give praise and glory! All idols under foot be trod, The Lord is God! the Lord is God! To God all praise and glory! Then come before his presence now And banish fear and sadness; To your Redeemer pay your vow And sing with joy and gladness: Though great distress my soul befell, The Lord, my God, did all things well, To God all praise and glory! #5 Mighty God, while angels bless thee, May a mortal sing thy name? Lord of men as well as angels, Thou art every creature's theme. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen. Lord of every land and nation, Ancient of eternal days, Sounded through the wide creation Be thy just and lawful praise. For the grandeur of thy nature, Grand beyond the seraph's thought; For created works of power, Works with skill and kindness wrought. But thy rich, thy free redemption, Dark through brightness all along, Thought is poor, and poor expression, Who dare sing that awful song? Brightness of the Father's glory, Shall thy praise unuttered lie? Fly, my tongue, such guilty silence, Sing the Lord who came to die: From the highest throne in glory, To the cross of deepest woe, All to ransom guilty captives, Flow my praise, for ever flow. #6 Psalm 22:23ff. All ye that fear Jehovah's Name, His glory tell, his praise proclaim; Ye children of his chosen race, Stand ye in awe before his face. The suffering one he has not spurned, Who unto him for succor turned; From him he has not hid his face, But answered his request in grace. O Lord, thy goodness makes me raise Amid thy people songs of praise; Before all them that fear thee, now I worship thee and pay my vow. The Lord's unfailing righteousness All generations shall confess, From age to age shall men be taught What wondrous works the Lord has wrought. #7 Psalm 72:18-19 Now blessed be the Lord our God, The God of Israel, For he alone doth wondrous works In glory that excel. And blessed be his glorious Name To all eternity: The whole earth let his glory fill. Amen, so let it be. #8 Angel voices, ever singing Round thy throne of light, Angel harps, for ever ringing, Rest not day nor night; Thousands only live to bless thee, And confess thee Lord of might. Thou who art beyond the farthest Mortal eye can scan, Can it be that thou regardest Songs of sinful man? Can we feel that thou art near us, And wilt hear us? Yea, we can. Yea, we know thy love rejoices O'er each work of thine; Thou didst ears and hands and voices For thy praise combine; Craftsman's art and music's measure For thy pleasure Didst design. Here, great God, today we offer Of thine own to thee; And for thine acceptance proffer, All unworthily, Hearts and minds, and hands and voices, In our choicest Melody. Honor, glory, might, and merit, Thine shall ever be, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Blessed Trinity: Of the best that thou hast given Earth and heaven Render thee. #9 From Psalm 150 Hallelujah! Hallelujah! In his temple God be praised; In the high and heavenly places Be the sounding anthem raised. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen. Hallelujah! praise Jehovah For his mighty acts of fame; Excellent his might and greatness; Fitting praises then proclaim. Hallelujah! praise Jehovah With the trumpet's joyful sound, Praise with harp and praise with organ, Let his glorious praise abound. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! All that breathe, Jehovah praise; Let the voices God has given Joyful anthems to him raise. #10 From Psalm 103 O come, my soul, bless thou the Lord thy maker, And all within me bless his holy name; Bless thou the Lord, forget not all his mercies, His pardoning grace and saving love proclaim. Bless him for ever, wondrous in might, Bless him, his servants that in his will delight. Good is the Lord and full of kind compassion, Most slow to anger, plenteous in love; Rich is his grace to all that humbly seek him, Boundless and endless as the heavens above. His love is like a father's to his children, Tender and kind to all who fear his name; For well he knows our weakness and our frailty, He knows that we are dust, he knows our frame. We fade and die like flowers that grow in beauty, Like tender grass that soon will disappear; But evermore the love of God is changeless, Still shown to those who look to him in fear. High in the heavens his throne is fixed for ever, His kingdom rules o'er all from pole to pole; Bless ye the Lord through all his wide dominion, Bless his most holy name, O thou my soul. #11 O that I had a thousand voices To praise my God with thousand tongues! My heart, which in the Lord rejoices, Would then proclaim in grateful songs To all, wherever I might be, What great things God hath done for me. O all ye pow'rs that he implanted, Arise, and silence keep no more; Put forth the strength that he hath granted, Your noblest work is to adore. O my soul and body, be ye meet With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet! All creatures that have breath and motion, That throng the earth, the sea, and sky, Now join me in my heart's devotion, Help me to raise his praises high. My utmost pow'rs can ne'er aright Declare the wonders of his might. O father, deign thou, I beseech thee, To listen to my earthly lays; A nobler strain in heaven shall reach thee, When I with angels hymn thy praise And learn amid their choirs to sing Loud hallelujahs to my King. #12 Psalm 135:1-7, 21 Exalt the Lord, his praise proclaim; All ye his servants, praise his name, Who in the Lord's house ever stand And humbly serve at his command. The Lord is good, his praise proclaim; Since it is pleasant, praise his name; His people for his own he takes And his peculiar treasure makes. I know the Lord is high in state, Above all gods our Lord is great; The Lord performs what he decrees, In heaven and earth, in depths and seas. He makes the vapors to ascend In clouds from earth's remotest end; The lightnings flash at his command, He holds the tempest in his hand.

  • Psalm 45 Title: a Royal Wedding Song Author and Date: the Sons of Korah Key Verses
    Psalm 45 Title: A Royal Wedding Song Author and Date: The Sons of Korah Key Verses: Psalm 45:1, 17 Type: Royal / Messianic Outline A. The king’s messenger (verse 1). B. The king’s majesty (verses 2-9). C. The king’s marriage (verses 10-15). D. The king’s memorial (verses 16-17). Notes Title: “For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A song of loves.” See the notes on Psalm 42. The following psalms have something similar to this title: Psalm 42, 44-49, 84-85, and 87-88. “Shoshannim” means “lilies” and it may refer to a particular instrument (lilly-shaped cymbals?) or tune of the day to which this song was sung. This was a musical instruction given to the chief musician to direct the song “after” or “in the manner of” Shoshannim. “A song of loves” (also called an epithalamium) refers to a song that describes the love between a king (verse 1) and his queen (verse 9) who are about to marry. Summary: Psalm 45 is a royal psalm (see Psa. 2) describing the king and his marriage to the queen. It is a song celebrating the majesty (verses 2-9) and the marriage (verses 10- 15) of one of the king’s of Israel. The marriage of Solomon to the daughter of Pharaoh is one example that would fit this occasion (1 K. 3:1). First, the psalmist describes the king’s physical features (verses 2-5, 8-9) and then his spiritual qualities (verses 4, 6-7).

  • Daily Devotions in the Psalms Psalm 129-133
    Daily Devotions in the Psalms Psalm 129-133 Monday 12th October - Psalm 129 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say— 2 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. 3 The plowers ploughed upon my back; they made long their furrows.” 4 The Lord is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked. 5 May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! 6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, 7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms, 8 nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you! We bless you in the name of the Lord!” It is interesting that Psalm 128 and 129 sit side by side. They seem to sit at odds with one another. Psalm 128 speaks of Yahweh blessing his faithful people. They enjoy prosperity and the fruit of their labour. It is a picture of peace and blessing. And then comes this Psalm, clunking like a car accidentally put into reverse. Here we see a people long afflicted (v. 1-2). As a nation, they have had their backs ploughed. And the rest of the Psalm prays for the destruction of the wicked nations and individuals who would seek to harm and destroy Israel. It’s possible that this Psalm makes you feel uncomfortable, or even wonder if this Psalm is appropriate for the lips of God’s people.

  • Psalm 2 the Lord's Reign Ruins the Rebellious and Rescues the Faithful
    Psalm 2 The Lord’s Reign ruins the rebellious and rescues the faithful Nov. 15, 2015 I like sitting in my front yard or resting on my front porch when I have a porch of any size. When I don’t, the yard does just fine. Right before we moved to Bloomfield a few weeks ago, in the fading sunlight of a fall afternoon, the rumble of a Harley Davidson V-Twin eased to a stop right in front of me. So here I am, enjoying the last hours of a pleasant afternoon at our Windsor apartment. Next thing I know, the biker asks, above the Harley's rumble, “Is there a liquor store around here?” I point down the street, to the east at a little strip mall. “Yeah, there's one in that strip mall, just past the Italian restaurant.” He said, “I just go past that green awning and it's right there?” “Yeah,” I said. “It's right there.” At that point, I noticed a cross on his bandanna. The bandanna was folded just so, and positioned on the man's head just right. The cross was clearly seen, burnt orange on a black background. So I asked him, “Are you a Christian?” “No,” he said. “Oh, OK, I saw the cross on your bandanna but, no offense, I didn't think you were.” To which he said, “Well, I'm a Christian, I'm just not practicing.” stand up When Andre started this sermon series in September, he made this statement early in his first sermon: “The question is not, ‘Are you pursuing a kingdom? But whose kingdom are you pursuing?’” I think the stranger looking for a liquor store thought he could pay lip service to one thing and practice another.

  • Psalm 5: a Theology of Tension and Reconciliationl
    Psalm 5: A theology of tension and reconciliationl G T M Prinsloo (UP) ABSTRACT Psalm 5: A theology of tension and reconciliation Psalm 5 is one of the less known psalms. Yet, it is an extraordinary poem. The most conspicuous characteristic of Psalm 5 is the tension between Yah­ weh, the righteous and the wicked. This tension is skilfully expressed in the poetic structure of the psalm, where strophes concerning the relationship between Yahweh and the righteous on the one hand and Yahweh and the wicked on the other hand, appear in juxtaposition. Tension is created between the three role players. The aim of this article is to determine the theological relevance of these tensions. This aim is reached via a detailed analysis of the intratextual relations in the poem. In the process problems concerning the strophic structure, genre and social setting of the psalm receive attention. The conclusion is reached that the tensions are used to clarify the relationship between God, the righteous and the wicked, thus serving as dominant interpretational key to determine the theology of the psalm. 1 INTRODUCTION Psalm 5 is one of the less popular psalms. Apart from discussions in com­ mentaries, the poem has attracted little attention2• The main interest in the psalm focuses upon its genre, social setting and date. The psalm aptly illustrates the problems confronting modem exegetes when they try to interpret ancient texts. More often than not, the psalm simply gives no con­ crete information on these matters. It probably was Willem Sterrenberg (Riempies) Prinsloo's greatest contribution to the study of the Psalms that he instilled in his students the importance of analysing the intratextual relationships of a psalm before asking extra- or intertextual questions.

  • Proverbs for Teens
    Proverbs for Teens By Jodi Green All scripture quotations are from The Believer’s Study Bible: New King James Version. 1991. Thomas Nelson, Inc. edited by W.A. Criswell Proverbs for Teens Copyright 2012 by Jodi Green INTRODUCTION When I was in junior high school (middle school now days), I heard about Billy Graham’s practice of reading five chapters of Psalms and one chapter of Proverbs every day. Since there are 150 chapters of Psalms and 31 chapters of Proverbs, that meant he read the entire books of Psalms and Proverbs every month. And since Psalms teaches us to relate to God, and Proverbs teaches us to relate to our culture, Billy Graham’s idea seemed like a great one. Dr. Graham’s practice was to read the chapters of Proverbs according to the day of the month. For example, on the first day of the month he read Proverbs 1; the second day would be Proverbs 2, and so on. He read Psalms in order of the chapters, but we will discuss that more in the conclusion. My hope for this book is to begin training you to read a chapter of Proverbs every day. Proverbs is a book of wisdom, and we all need a daily dose of Biblical wisdom. Reading only one verse of scripture per day is like eating one spoonful of cereal for breakfast. It is still good for you, but you need a whole bowl to be nourished physically. In the same way, one verse of scripture is good for you, but you need more if you are to grow spiritually.

  • The Passion Translation | Psalms Study | Dr. Brian Simmons Lesson 3 / Psalm 3: ​Covered by the Glory King David's Song W
    The Passion Translation | Psalms Study | Dr. Brian Simmons Lesson 3 / Psalm 3: Covered by the Glory ​ King David’s song when he was forced to flee from Absalom, his own son The rabbis call this ‘The Morning Hymn.’ The words of this psalm could have been heard early in the morning from the lips of Jesus Christ as He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane. It is the song of a soul in grave peril as a new day dawns. It is the heartbreak of a father (David) that spoke these words. Although known as a psalm of lament, the true theme of Psalm 3 is: quietness in the midst of troubles. Even though the king was in a painful situation, he still had a song in his heart. This psalm begins at a very low moment in the life of David. Because of his sin with Bathsheba, his family life was torn apart with strife. Absalom was the arrogant, insolent son of David who attempted to take the kingship from his father by force. He was David’s third son by Maacah, the daughter of king Geshur. Absalom was a charming prince with the people and used his charm to steal their heart from his father the king. Exiled for the murder of his brother Ammon, Absalom eventually returned to Jerusalem and plotted to dethrone his father. David learned of the rebellion of his son and fled to Mahanaim. Although Absalom was formally anointed king, he was eventually defeated and killed by David’s army (2 Sam.15-18).
