Fits tune: Richmond

('Fill thou my life, O Lord my God')

********

Psalm 20 v.5

We will rejoice in your salvation

With praise and elation

In the name of God we set up sure

Our banners evermore

 

Psalm 20 v.7

Some trust in horses, chariots

Or human compatriots

But we will remember the name

Of the LORD our God, His fame

 

Psalm 21 v.13

In your own strength, LORD, be exalted

You are our living Head

And so will we sing and praise your power

Eternal every hour

 

Psalm 24 v.7

Lift up your heads, you gates, you doors

Peoples from farthest shores

Shall enter city of the great King

In Jerusalem Him sing

 

Psalm 24 v.8 - 10

He the King of glory, mighty

And all nations shall see

That He the LORD of hosts is sure

Who reigns, holy and pure

 

Psalm 25 v.20

O keep my soul, deliver me

Let me not ashamed be

For in you I do put my trust

E'en though I be but dust

    A 'dusty' reference again! heehee. Who you calling dust, Orchi?! Yet we are, in comparison to God, but He does not sweep us under the carpet!

    • Nicholas Browning

      I'm a hooman, or so my dog calls me. Lol, just thought I'd make a joke.

      • orchidee

        Heehee thanks N. Well, I thought: hooman, or human, is derived from 'humus' - that stuff in the ground!

        • Nicholas Browning

          Humus is absolutely disgusting. It gives me the willies.

        • Nicholas Browning

          Good stuff once again Orch. I love to see the usage of singular words in the place of plurals. It's great.

          • orchidee

            Thanks N. Maybe it's the alternating between 'we' and 'I'. Is this how you mean singles and plurals?

            • Nicholas Browning

              The subject being a plural in place of a singular, vice versa.

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              Thanks again STEVE for lifting us up onto Higher Ground ! Lovely HYMN and a lovely set of QUATRAINS ~ each amplifying a single verse of a PSALM ~ Yours BRIAN

              • orchidee

                Thanks B. Sometimes I wonder if the single (or two or three) verse-type Psalms sound disjointed. But the Psalms seem to be grouped in themes, at least in places. It's the OT 'hymn-book', so as in current hymn-books, the hymns are arranged into themes or seasons, etc.

                  Heehee thanks A.

                  Good write Orchi.
