Hounslow West Evangelical ChurchA psalm of David. A petition. Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me.Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.My guilt has overwhelmed me like a […]
Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land for ever.For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish.The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it for ever. The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what […]
The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them;but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming. The wicked draw the sword and bend the bowto bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken. […]
Of David. Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong;for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your […]
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:There is no fear of God before their eyes. In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin.The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they […]
Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about.They repay me evil for good and leave me like one bereaved.Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting.When my prayers returned to me unanswered, I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother.I bowed my head in grief as though […]
Of David. Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me.Take up shield and armour; arise and come to my aid.Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me.Say to me, ‘I am your salvation.’ May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame;may those who plot my ruin be turned back in […]
Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left. I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.Glorify the Lord with me: let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me […]
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses.Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him.For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. The Lord foils […]
Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.Sing to him a new song; play skilfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of […]
