Tune: Binchester
('Happy are they, they that love God')
********
Psalm 1 v.2
Blessed are they who do delight
In the LORD's law, keep sight
Of all His commands, meditate
They day and night, not late
Psalm 1 v.3
They shall be like a tree planted
By the rivers, they led
And guided by the LORD, they shall
In season bring forth well
Psalm 1 v.3
Their leaf shall not wither nor fade
They remain constant, staid
Whatsoever they do concurs
With God's ways and prospers
Psalm 2 v.11-12
Serve Him with fear, godly trembling
To Him your tributes bring
Rejoice before Him, in Him trust
We who are but mere dust
Psalm 3 v.3
You LORD are a shield unto me
And you my glory be
You lift my head up from despair
I know you always there
Psalm 3 v.8
Salvation to the LORD belongs
To Him we sing our songs
Your blessing is sure here upon
Your people, through your Son
Psalm 4 v.1
Hear me, O LORD, I to you call
In you I shall not fall
You have helped, enlarged me, I prayed
[May] Mercy not be delayed
Psalm 4 v.4
Stand in awe, and sin not, commune
With your own heart quite soon
Upon your bed, when daylight ends
Be still, God His peace sends

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
Psalm verses are some of the Poetic works to have ever been written.
Irrespective of perspectives on their religious content,
some great choices you have highlighted here:
'We who are but mere dust'
Thanks LB.
Psalm words Orchi.
Thanks M. You in bed? (last verse)! Is Miss Berles in bed?
Up and about - both of us.
Been to the shopaberles
Brian here ~ Good Morning Uncle Steve ~ Thanks for an uplifting Hymn & Tune ~ tuneful ORGAN ! Love the *SNIPPETS from the Psalms* every one a gem ! Im working on my allotment (@ College) this afternoon so PSALM 1 v 3 is my fave !

Blessings & JOY to YOU & Faithful Fido
Love Angela & Brian & Gato Smokey ! ! !
Thanks B&A. A bit of an obscure hymn, more used in high church, or Anglo-Catholic church, I believe. Both of which can be a bit old fogey-ish!
Almost any Bible version please, except The Message. It causes Fido to turn to raging fury, when he hears words like 'Bravo!' in it! lol.
... My word Steven .. ya got more psalms than a tropical island ... and now I know it was you .. coz this has got your DNA running right through it ....
Thanks Neville. There's 150 of them Psalms to choose from. With 'selection of verses' poems I may do, the Psalms are grouped together somewhat, as in themes in hymn books. Well, Psalms was the 'hymn-book' of the Jewish Temple of olden days.
The Psalms are great inspiration to so many
Beautiful hymn Orchidee
Thanks Gavin.
