PSALM 100
All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell;
Come ye before Him and rejoice.
The Lord, ye know, is God indeed;
Without our aid He did us make;
We are His folk, He doth us feed,
And for His sheep He doth us take.
O enter then His gates with praise;
Approach with joy His courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless His name always,
For it is seemly so to do.
For why? the Lord our God is good;
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
To Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
The God whom Heaven and earth adore,
From men and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore.
Words by William Kethe (1535-1594)

COMMENTARY –PSALM 84
CPWI 731
How lovely is thy dwelling-place,
O lord of hosts, to me!
My thirsty soul desires and longs
within thy courts to be;
my very heart and flesh cry out,
O living God, for Thee.
Beside thine altars, gracious lord,
thy swallows find a nest;
how happy they who swell with Thee
and praise hee without rest,
and happy they whose hearts are set
upon the pilgrim’s quest.
They who go through the desert vale
will find it filled with springs,
and they shall climb from height to height
till Zion’s temple rings
with praise to Thee, in glory throned,
Lord God, great King of kings.
One day within thy courts excels
a thousand spent away;
how happy they who keep thy laws
nor from thy precepts stray,
for thou shall surely bless all those
who live the words they pray.

The Lord reigns
The Lord reigns
The Lord reigns
Let the earth rejoice

A fire goes before Him
And burns up all His enemies
The hills melt like wax
At the presence of the Lord
At the presence of the Lord

The people see His glory
For You O Lord are exalted
Over all the earth

COMMENTARY- PSALM 90
METRICAL VERSION OF PSALM 90 (CPWI 234)
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:
Beneath the shadow of Thy throne,
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home!

As the deer pants for the water
So my soul longs after You.
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship You.
Refrain:
You alone are my strength, my shield,
To you alone my spirit yield
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship You.
I want you more than gold or silver
Only you can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy-given
And the apple of my eye.
Refrain:
You are my Friend and you are my Brother
Even though you are a king.
I love you more than any other
So much more than anything.

COMMENTARY – PSALM 137
METRICAL VERSION (CPWI 544)
By the rivers of Babylon,
where we sat down
and there we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
Refrain:
But the wicked carried us away, captivity,
require from us a song
How shall we sing Jehovah’s song
in a strange land?
As for our harps, we hanged them up
On the trees therein.
Can I forget
Jerusalem the blessed?
Jerusalem, if I forget
Let my right hand
Also forget
That she once had cunning.
Remember Edom with Babylon
How they said, ‘ Down with it,’
Happy shall he be
That rewards them justly.
So let the words of our mouth
and the meditations of our hearts
be acceptable in thy sight.
O Lord.

METRICAL VERSION (CPWI 481)
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in his shadow for life,
Say to the Lord: "My refuge,
My rock in whom I trust!"
Refrain:
And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of his hand.
The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under his wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.
Refrain
You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day;
Though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come.
Refrain
For to his angels he's given a command
To guard you in all of your ways;
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

I will lift up mine eyes to the hills
From whence cometh my help
My help cometh from the Lord
The Lord which made Heaven and earth
He said He will not suffer thy foot
Thy foot to be moved,
The Lord that keepeth thee
He will not slumber nor sleep
For the Lord is thy keeper
The Lord is thy shade
Upon thy right hand, Upon thy right hand
No, the sun shall not smite thee by day
Not the moon by night
He shall preserve thy soul
Even forevermore
My help, my help, my help
All of my help cometh from the Lord

CPWI 375
O praise ye the Lord!
Praise Him in the height;
Rejoice in His word,
Ye angels of light;
Ye heavens, adore Him
By whom ye were made,
And worship before Him,
In brightness arrayed.
O praise ye the Lord!
Praise Him upon earth,
In tuneful accord:
Ye sons of new birth;
Praise Him who hath brought
you His grace from above,
Praise Him who hath taught
you To sing of His love.
O praise ye the Lord,
All things that give sound;
Each jubilant chord,
Re-echo around;
Loud organs His glory
Forth tell in deep tone,
And sweet harp, the story
Of what He hath done.
O praise ye the Lord!
Thanksgiving and song
To Him be outpoured
All ages along:
For love in creation,
For heaven restored.
For grace of salvation,
O praise ye the Lord!

O praise ye the Lord, O praise ye the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary: O praise ye the Lord!
O praise ye the Lord! O praise ye the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary: O praise ye the Lord.
In the firmament of his power, praise him!
For his mighty acts, let us praise him!
For his excellent greatness, praise him!
O praise ye the Lord.
With the sound of the trumpet, praise him!
With the psaltery and harp, O praise him!
With the dance and the timbrel, praise him!
O praise ye the Lord.
With stringed instruments, let us praise him!
And with organs, O let us praise him!
With the high and loud cymbals, praise him!
O praise ye the Lord.
Coda:
Let every thing that hath breath,
Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord!
