Hounslow West Evangelical ChurchFor the director of music. To the tune of ‘The Lilies of the Covenant’. Of Asaph. A psalm. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock.You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.Awaken your might; come and save us. Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we […]
A psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.They have left the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild.They have poured out blood like water all around […]
When the Lord heard them, he was furious; his fire broke out against Jacob, and his wrath rose against Israel,for they did not believe in God or trust in his deliverance.Yet he gave a command to the skies above and opened the doors of the heavens;he rained down manna for the people to eat, he gave them the grain of heaven.Human beings […]
A maskil of Asaph. My people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter hidden things, things from of old –things we have heard and known, things our ancestors have told us.We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generationthe praiseworthy deeds of […]
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm.

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is renowned in Judah; in Israel his name is great.His tent is in Salem, his dwelling-place in Zion.There he broke the flashing arrows, the shields and the swords, the weapons of war. You are radiant with light, more majestic than mountains rich with game.The […]
For the director of music. To the tune of ‘Do Not Destroy’. A psalm of Asaph. A song. We praise you, God, we praise you, for your Name is near; people tell of your wonderful deeds.

A maskil of Asaph. O God, why have you rejected us for ever? Why does your anger smoulder against the sheep of your pasture?Remember the nation you purchased long ago, the people of your inheritance, whom you redeemed – Mount Zion, where you dwelt.Turn your steps towards these everlasting ruins, all this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary.

A psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong.They are free from common human […]
