Tune: Easter Hymn
('Jesus Christ is risen today')
'Alleluia!' after each line.
********
Psalm 1 v.2
Blessed are they who delight in law (Alleluia!)
Of the Lord, it their joy sure
And in that law meditate
Do they day and night, their state
Psalm 2 v.11
Serve the Lord with fear, rejoice
Knowing you made Him your choice
Tremble too, with lowly fear
His great name honour, revere
Psalm 3 v.3
Your Lord, are a shield for me
My glory, my Saviour be
And the lifter of my head
I not stay downcast nor dread
Psalm 3 v.8
Salvation belongs to the Lord
All is true, His living word
Your blessing is upon all
Your people, who on you call
Psalm 4 v.6
There be many who do say
Is there any good today?
Lord, lift up your countenance
Upon us, days be bright thence
Psalm 5 v.8
Lead me in your righteousness
Keep me, in your way me bless
Because of enemies pace
Make your way straight [be]'fore my face
Psalm 8 v.1
O Lord our Lord, excellent
Is your name, it resplendent
In all the earth it known yet
Your glory above heavens set
Psalm 8 v.2
Out of mouth of babes, sucklings
You have ordained strength, praise rings
Because of your enemies
At sound of praises each flees
Psalm 9 v.1
I will praise you with whole heart
Employ and use every part
Will show forth your works, marvels
Trusting you, none ever falls
Psalm 9 v.16
The Lord is known by judgement
Which He carries out, has sent
The wicked snared by own hands
Their evil works, shifting sands
Psalm 5 v.11
Let all those that trust in yo
Rejoice, sing praises anew
Shout for joy, you them defend
Let them love you to the end
Psalm 5 v.12
For you Lord, the righteous bless
They serve you in humbleness
With favour you will surround
Them as with a shield renowned (Alleluia!)

Thanks M. lol. Nothing to do with a bird - peregrine! Might be my cousin - Peregrine Toffee-Nose,

Thanks STEVE ~ Every verse in every in every Psalm is a real GEM ~ thanks for polishing some of them for us ~ There are about 2500 ! I love EASTER ~ Tragedy and then the Triumph ~ Resurrection ~ AMEN Yours BRIAN
Thanks Brian. Psalm 119 next? Not cheating if we break it down into 22 x 8 sections, though that might mean 22 more songs to sing. Arghh, I'm gonna sing 22 more songs - unbearable! lol.
