MY FAVORITE PSALMS - PART FOURTEEN

  O clap your hands, all     you people
  shout to God with a         voice of joy
  For the Lord Most           High is to be feared
  a great King over all       the earth

He subdues people under us
and nations under our feet
He chooses our inheritance for us
The glory of Jacob whom he loves.

God has ascended with a shout
The Lord with the sound of a trumpet
Sing praises to God, sing praises
Sing praises to our King, sing praises
For God is King over all the earth
Sing praises with a skillful psalm
God reigns over the nations
God sits on His holy throne
the princes of the people  have
assembled themselves as the people 
of the God of Abraham
For the shields of the earth belong to God
He is highly exalted.

  Great is the Lord, and               greatly to be praised
  In the city of our God.
  In the mountain of 
  His Holiness
  Beautiful in elevation, the
  joy of the whole earth
  is mount Zion, in the far           north
  The city of the great King
God in her palaces has made Himself known
as  stronghold.


For lo, the kings assembled themselves
They passed by together
They saw it, then they were amazed
They were terrified, then they fled in alarm
Panic seized them there
anguish as a woman in childbirth
With the east wind Thou dost break the 
ships of Tarshish
As we have heard, so we have seen
in the city of the Lord of hosts,
in the city of our God
God will establish her forever, Selah

We have thought of all Thy lovingkindness
O God, in the midst of Thy temple
As is Thy Name, O God, so is
Thy praises to the ends of the earth
Thy right hand is full of righteousness
Let Mount Zion be glad
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice
because of Thy judgments
Walk about Zion, and go around
her, count her towers.
Consider her ramparts, go through her palaces
That you may tell it to the next generation
For such is God, our God, forever and ever
He will guide us until death.
