Psalm 139 v.1-4

1. Lord you have known, searched me

There no thing you not see

When I sit, stand, walk, you know all

Whether day, night, you call

You compass our path round

Praises to you redound

And too our laying down, you know

All our ways, words, 'tis so

 

Psalm 139 v.17-18

2. How precious be your thoughts

To me, of all good sorts

They are, and great he sum they be

We cannot total, see

If I should count them, they

More than sand's grains I say

And when I wake from restful sleep

You sill with me, your sheep

 

Psalm 145 v.9-11

3. The Lord, He good to all

Trusting Him, we not fall

His tender mercies o'er all things

His works Him honour brings

For they shall all praise you

Your saints shall bless you too

Of your glory, power, they speak

And do your kingdom seek

 

Psalm 147 v.1

4. Praise the Lord, it is good

That all folks surely should

Praise Him in song and melody

Hearts rejoicing, set free

To praise Him is pleasant

Comely, and He has sent

His Spirit to us, to empower

Our worship every hour

 

Psalm 149 v.4

5. For the Lord takes pleasure

In His people, measure

Of blessings rich with them He shares

Knowing our toils and cares

He will the meek espy

And them will beautify

With salvation, redeeming sure

They His for evermore

 

Psalm 146 v.10

6. The Lord shall reign for e'er

In Him you shall well fare

Even 'tis your God, O Zion

He the Lamb and Lion

To all generations

And over all nations

he shall rule o'er all lands, ne'er fail

His Lordship all shall hail

 

Psalm 144 v.9-10

7. I will sing a new song

To you Lord, day, night long

With psaltery and instrument

Of ten strings, no relent

Will sing praises to you

You save me, me renew

And deliver from troubles sore

You my Lord evermore

 

Psalm 150

8. Praise Him in sanctuary

Let earth and heaven agree

All that has breath here join in to

Sing His praises anew

His mighty acts recall

His power and love tell all

Sweet music make, He excellent

His praise our good intent

    Can't sing but I can march in a tin helmet if that helps - super writing

    • orchidee

      Thanks M. lol.

      • Michael Edwards

        Trouble is there's not much room in a tin helmet.

      • myself and me

        No kidding, you should get those published. I kept a book with me by Sarah Young titled "Jesus Calling". Yours are as good, and even better.
        Now I just get another daily reading and guide.

        • orchidee

          Thanks M& M. I 've looked into it a couple of times - seems very expensive publishing.

          • myself and me

            How about ebook.

          • Goldfinch60

            Another very good 'un Orchi.
