The Heavens Declare  (Psalm 19)

  Andrew Hodkinson

 

The Heavens declare

The glory of God

The skies shows the work of His hands.

Day to day they utter speech,

Night to night they display knowledge.

Their rule has gone out over the land.

 

Torah is Perfect, returning the soul,

Giving joy to the heart,

It lives forevermore.

It is sweeter than honey,

More pure than gold.

And blest are those who keep it,

Great is their reward.

 

Who can discern their errors?

Cleanse me from secret faults.

Keep your servant

From all wilful sins.

Let your knowledge flow over me,

Then how bright I will be,

Innocent of the great transgression.

 

Torah is Perfect, returning the soul,

Giving joy to the heart,

It lives forevermore.

It is sweeter than honey,

More pure than gold.

And blest are those who keep it,

Great is their reward.

 

Like a bridegroom from the chamber

The sun is in its sphere.

Thy commands bring light to my eyes,

So let the words of my mouth,

And the murmur of my heart,

Be pleasing in Your sight.

 

Torah is Perfect, returning the soul,

Giving joy to the heart,

It lives forevermore.

It is sweeter than honey,

More pure than gold.

And blest are those who keep it,

Great is their reward.

 

Halleluyah

Lord, live forever.

 

 

 

Blessed is the Man  (Psalm 1)

 

On His Law he meditates day and night.

The Torah of Yehovah is his delight.

He shall be like a planted tree,

By waters of a stream,

That yields its fruit in its time.

 

Blessed is the man,

Blessed is the man,

Blessed is the man,

Who walks not in the council of the wicked.

 

Blessed is the man,

Blessed is the man,

Blessed is the man,

Who walks not in the council of the wicked.

 

 

For Yehovah knows the way of the righteous,

But the way of the wicked shall perish.

 

Blessed is the man,

Blessed is the man,

Blessed is the man,

Who sits not in the seat of scoffers.

 

Blessed is the man,

Blessed is the man,

Blessed is the man,

Who sits not in the seat of scoffers.

 

 

 

Yehovah Reigns  (Psalm 93)

 

Yehovah Reigns.

 

He is robed with Majesty,

Robed with Majesty,

Armed with Strength.

The world is established,

It will never cease.

Your throne was set long ago.

You have always been.

 

O Yehovah,

The seas lift up their voice,

The seas lift up their voice,

The seas lift up their waves,

 

Yehovah on High is Mightier

Than the sound of great waters,

And waves of the seas.

How mighty is He!

Yehovah on High.

 

 

Repeat

 

 

 

Praise God in the Sanctuary  (Psalm 150)

 

Praise God in the Sanctuary,

Praise Him in the mighty heavens,

Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet,

Praise Him with the Lyre and harp.

Let everything that has breath

Praise Yehovah.

 

Praise Yehovah,

Let everything that has breath

Praise Him with tambourine and dancing,

Praise Him with the strings and flute,

Let everything that has breath

Praise Yehovah.

 

Praise Yehovah,

Let everything that has breath

Praise Yehovah.

 

I want to praise Him by singing out loud

Raise my hands and make joyful sounds.

Halleluyah

 

Praise God in the Sanctuary,

Praise Him in the mighty heavens,

I Will Lift up My Eyes to the Hills (Psalm 121)

 

He will not, not let your foot stumble.

He will keep you, will not slumber.

He watches over Israel

And will not slumber nor sleep.

 

Where will my help come from?

It comes from Yehovah,

Who made heaven and earth.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills.

 

 

Yehovah will keep you from evil,

He will guard your throne.

 

 

Where will my help come from?

It comes from Yehovah,

Who made heaven and earth.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills.

 

My help comes from Yehovah.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills.

By the Rivers of Babylon (Psalm 137)

 

By the rivers of Babylon

We sat and wept

When we remembered Zion

And the land that we had left.

 

There on the willows

we hung our harps

For there our captors

required of us a song

They demanded songs of joy

And said Sing us the songs of Zion.

 

How can we sing

The songs of Yehovah

While in a foreign land?

If I forget you, O Jerusalem

May I forget

The skill of my right hand.

 

Remember Yehovah

Sedum Dejue

The day Jerusalem fell

And how they mocked

And jeered and laughed.

They cried

Tear it down.

Tear it down.

They cried

Tear it down.

Tear it down.

Even to the foundations

 

How can we sing

The songs of Yehovah

While in a foreign land?

If I forget you, O Jerusalem

May I forget

The skill of my right hand.

 

 

You are doomed to be destroyed

O daughter of Babylon

Happy is he that repays you

For all that you have done.

 

He will seize your children,

Your children he will seize.

He will seize your children,

Your children he will seize.

And will dash them

Against the rocks.

 

How can we sing

The songs of Yehovah

While in a foreign land?

If I forget you, O Jerusalem

May I forget

The skill of my right hand.

 

 

Let my tongue cleave to my mouth

If I should not recall

If I should not prefer Jerusalem

Above my greatest joy.

 

How can we sing

The songs of Yehovah

While in a foreign land?

If I forget you, O Jerusalem

May I forget

The skill of my right hand.
