Psalm 1 - How Blessed Is the Man

How blessed is the man who does not Walk in the counsel of the wicked; And where the boastful sinners talk Will he refuse to stand; He doesn’t join with men who scoff, He dare not even sit among them, But his delight is in God’s Law It is his hope and prayer. Chorus In the Law he meditates In the Law he meditates In the Law he meditates In the night and in the day He’s planted like a tree that’s rooted By the streams of living water, That bears in season its good fruit For other souls to share; Its leaves won’t die away or wither; All he tries to do will prosper, For his delight is in God’s Law, It is his hope and prayer. (Chorus) The wicked are not so, they’re like the Chaff the autumn winds will scatter; When judgment starts to blow They’ll meet the fury of the Day. The righteous God will know, He’ll see them On to everlasting harbor; The wicked, though, not so, God’s wrath Will drive them far away. (Chorus x2) Courtesy of Warhorn Media Lyrics and music by Jody Killingsworth

Psalm 1 - Night and Day

O happy man that does not walk In paths that wicked men devise He darkens not the sinner’s lair Nor occupies the scoffer’s chair For His delight is in God’s Law And to it he lifts up his eyes He meditates upon it night and day Night and day, both night and day He meditates upon it night and day Night and day, both night and day God’s Law gets his attention night and day He’s like a tree that’s planted deep Beside the river waters wide That bears in season its good fruit And keeps its leaves by some good root That fertile root’s the Law of God And on it does his soul survive He drinks the life it feeds him night and day Night and day, both night and day He drinks the life it feeds him night and day Night and day, both night and day God’s Law will bless and keep him night and day The wicked are not so, but they Are like the chaff the wind drives out They will not stand before the throne When all God’s saints are gathered home For He knows every one of them But all the godless He’ll destroy I rest my soul upon it night and day Night and day, both night and day I rest my soul upon it night and day Night and day, both night and day I meditate upon it night and day Night and day, both night and day God’s Law gets my attention night and day Night and day, both night and day I meditate upon it night and day Courtesy of Warhorn Media

Psalm 2 - The Nations Rage

Why do the nations rage? Why do the peoples plot in vain Seeking to rid themselves of Christ’s dominion?— A theme that’s true in any age— O tell me, why do the heathen nations rage? Kings and rulers take their stand Against the Lord and His Anointed Lamb To tear from them Messiah’s cords and fetters And set themselves upon His stage O tell me, why do the heathen nations rage? The God of heaven laughs at them He laughs them all to scorn— “I’ve set my King on holy Zion’s hill” He rebukes them in His anger Says, “Today My Child is born And woe to those refusing My goodwill” “My Son, just ask of Me And I will give the nations of the earth For You to rule them with a mighty iron rod For You to dash them all to pieces And then pound them into dirt Until You spread Your fame and power and love abroad ’til all the nations bow before the Son of God” Now listen, kings, be wise All you rulers, come and check your pride Get down on your knees, rejoice with trembling Kiss the Son while He is near And let your rage become a holy fear The Son of God calls out to you: “Come find your rest in Me Come stand with Me up here on Zion’s hill My rage will soon be kindled So you best come bow your knee And woe to those refusing My goodwill” “My Son, just ask of Me And I will give the nations of the earth For You to rule them with a mighty iron rod For You to dash them all to pieces And then pound them into dirt Until You spread Your fame and power and love abroad ’til all the nations bow before the Son of God” Courtesy of Warhorn Media Music by Jody Killingsworth

O God of my righteousness Who saves me from deepest distress Please hear me when I call And answer my request O God of my righteousness He’s set apart the godly for Himself He hears me when I’m crying out for mercy And never will He fail to give me help Of so much love and kindness I’m not worthy!

Don’t rebuke me in Your anger Don’t destroy me in Your rage My bones are languishing in sorrow My heart is trapped within its cage Raise me up into Your mercy All my guilt and grief assuage But, O LORD, how long?

Psalm 8 - Beyond the Stars

If I could see beyond the stars And pierce the darkness with my sight And see Your glory in the night Beyond the stars If I could stand above the sky Your every work beneath my gaze There’d be no ending to my praise O LORD my God You have ordained the mouths of babes That songs of joy may ever flow That You may silence every foe Through mouths of babes And how the little children laugh Think how wonderful and odd That You should crown as sons of God The sons of man O LORD, our Lord How majestic is Your name In all the earth How majestic is Your name In all the earth And then I think, O what is man? That You would raise him as a king Reigning over everything Your hands have made The birds and beasts on land and sea And all that moves through day and night And all that seeks to see Your light Beyond the stars O LORD, our Lord How majestic is Your name In all the earth How majestic is Your name In all the earth Courtesy of Warhorn Media Music by Philip Moyer

You’ve hung the stars in mastery To make earth’s strivings cease; The noble sky declares to us Your throne. O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name, How majestic is Your name in all the earth! (repeat) When I observe the heavens Full of works Your hands have made, I wonder that You ever thought of man; But You have dignified him With an obligating claim: To rule the earth and carry out Your plan. O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name, How majestic is Your name in all the earth! (repeat) O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name, How majestic is Your name in all the earth! (repeat) O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name, How majestic is Your name in all the earth! (repeat) Courtesy of Warhorn Media

Psalm 8 - Majesty

As I gaze into the night Stars are dancing in the moonlight I’m amazed that You have formed them with Your hand What is man? What is man? He is just a tiny thing Yet over earth You’ve made him Your king Crowned him with Your glory since the world began What is man? What is man? Majesty So great Your majesty I see Your worth in all the earth Over sky and sea Majesty That name is good to me I give You praise, stand amazed At Your majesty Out of the mouths of babes You have ordained Yourself praise With a cry Your enemies cannot withstand What is man? What is man? Yet when I think about Your scars I forget about the faint stars Falling face down in the dirt, I am undone O my God O my God Majesty So great Your majesty I see Your worth in all the earth Over sky and sea Majesty That name is good to me I give You praise, stand amazed At Your majesty Courtesy of Warhorn Media Music by Jody Killingsworth

Psalm 10 - Rise Up O LORD

Why do you stand afar off, O LORD? Why do you hide Yourself in times of trouble? Proudly the wicked pursues the poor By his own plots, LORD, let him be surprised Rise up, O LORD! Hear how he boasts of his heart’s desire See how he taunts; no, he’s not going to seek You All of his thoughts are “There is no God” Why do You let him live before Your eyes? Rise up, O LORD! God, lift up Your hand Why do You let these wicked men stand? When will You break them, take them in hand You’ve always been a helper of the orphan Rise up, O LORD! His mouth is filled with oppressive words Why do you let him prosper by deceiving? He sits secure, living undisturbed Your judgments never even cross his mind Lying in wait for the helpless child Lurking in shadow, trying hard to cheat them He stalks his prey like a hungry lion Why do You let him live before Your eyes? Rise up, O LORD! God, lift up Your hand Why do You let these wicked men stand? When will you break them, take them in hand You’ve always been a helper of the orphan Rise up, O LORD! Rise up, O LORD! Rise up, O LORD! Rise up, O LORD! The LORD is King! Let all the peoples tremble Every evil thing will perish from the land For God will vindicate the cause of the afflicted And uphold them with His hand The LORD is King! And He will live forever Every wicked scheme of man’s will fall apart For God will bring it down and give to all the humble The desires of their heart Rise up, O LORD! Rise up, O LORD! Rise up, O LORD! Rise up, O LORD! Courtesy of Warhorn Media
