Hounslow West Evangelical ChurchOf David. I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; before the ‘gods’ I will sing your praise.I will bow down towards your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness,for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame.When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me. May all […]
By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.There on the poplars we hung our harps,for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, ‘Sing us one of the songs of Zion!’ How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land?If I forget you, Jerusalem, may […]

A song of ascents. Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who minister by night in the house of the Lord.Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord.

A song of ascents. Of David. How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard,running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe.It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion.For there the Lord bestows his […]
A song of ascents. Lord, remember David and all his self-denial. He swore an oath to the Lord, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:‘I will not enter my house or go to my bed,I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,till I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling for the Mighty […]
A song of ascents. Of David. My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty;I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.But I have calmed and quietened myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content. Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and […]
A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; Lord, hear my voice.Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you. I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his […]
