Psalm On Demand - Psalm 126

Psalm 126

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

1 When the Lord brought back

his exiles to Jerusalem,

it was like a dream!

2 We were filled with laughter,

and we sang for joy.

And the other nations said,

"What amazing things the Lord has done for them."

3 Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us!

What joy!

4 Restore our fortunes, Lord,

as streams renew the desert.

5 Those who plant in tears will harvest with

shouts of joy.

6 They weep as they go to plant their seed,

but they sing as they return with the harvest.

Psalm On Demand - Psalm 125

Psalm 125

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

¹ Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion;
they will not be defeated but will endure forever.

² Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.

³ The wicked will not rule the land of the godly,
for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.

⁴ O Lord, do good to those who are good,
whose hearts are in tune with you.

⁵ But banish those who turn to crooked ways,
O Lord.Take them away with those who do evil.

May Israel have peace!

Bible Reading - Psalm 51

Psalm 51

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

51:1 Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness.
According to the multitude of your tender mercies,
blot out my transgressions.
51:2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.
Cleanse me from my sin.
51:3 For I know my transgressions.
My sin is constantly before me.
51:4 Against you, and you only, have I sinned,
and done that which is evil in your sight;
that you may be proved right when you speak,
and justified when you judge.

51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity.
In sin my mother conceived me.
51:6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts.
You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
51:7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean.
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
51:8 Let me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

51:9 Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all of my iniquities.
51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a right spirit within me.
51:11 Don’t throw me from your presence,
and don’t take your holy Spirit from me.

51:12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation.
Uphold me with a willing spirit.
51:13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways.
Sinners shall be converted to you.
51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness,
O God, the God of my salvation.
My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

51:15 Lord, open my lips.
My mouth shall declare your praise.
51:16 For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it.
You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.
A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
51:18 Do well in your good pleasure to Zion.
Build the walls of Jerusalem.
51:19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings.
Then they will offer bulls on your altar.

Bible Reading - Psalm 104

Psalm 104

Today we are listening to Psalm 104 which was used during the funeral of HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on Saturday 17 April, 2021. Come on in!

¹ Let all that I am praise the Lord.

O Lord my God, how great you are!

You are robed with honor and majesty.

² You are dressed in a robe of light.

You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens;

³ you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds.

You make the clouds your chariot;

you ride upon the wings of the wind.

⁴ The winds are your messengers;

flames of fire are your servants.

⁵ You placed the world on its foundation

so it would never be moved.

⁶ You clothed the earth with floods of water,

water that covered even the mountains.

⁷ At your command, the water fled;

at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.

⁸ Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed.

⁹ Then you set a firm boundary for the seas,

so they would never again cover the earth.

¹⁰ You make springs pour water into the ravines,

so streams gush down from the mountains.

¹¹ They provide water for all the animals,

and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

¹² The birds nest beside the streams

and sing among the branches of the trees.

¹³ You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home,

and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.

¹⁴ You cause grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people to use.

You allow them to produce food from the earth-

¹⁵ wine to make them glad,

olive oil to soothe their skin,

and bread to give them strength.

¹⁶ The trees of the Lord are well cared for -

the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

¹⁷ There the birds make their nests,

and the storks make their homes in the cypresses.

¹⁸ High in the mountains live the wild goats,

and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes.

¹⁹ You made the moon to mark the seasons,

and the sun knows when to set.

²⁰ You send the darkness, and it becomes night,

when all the forest animals prowl about.

²¹ Then the young lions roar for their prey,

stalking the food provided by God.

²² At dawn they slink back into their dens to rest.

²³ Then people go off to their work,

where they labor until evening.

²⁴ O Lord, what a variety of things you have made!

In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your creatures.

²⁵ Here is the ocean, vast and wide,

teeming with life of every kind,

both large and small.

²⁶ See the ships sailing along, and Leviathan,

which you made to play in the sea.

²⁷ They all depend on you to give them food as they need it.

²⁸ When you supply it, they gather it.

You open your hand to feed them,

and they are richly satisfied.

²⁹ But if you turn away from them, they panic.

When you take away their breath,

they die and turn again to dust.

³⁰ When you give them your breath,

life is created,

and you renew the face of the earth.

³¹ May the glory of the Lord continue forever!

The Lord takes pleasure in all he has made!

³² The earth trembles at his glance;

the mountains smoke at his touch.

³³ I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.

I will praise my God to my last breath!

³⁴ May all my thoughts be pleasing to him,

for I rejoice in the Lord.

³⁵ Let all sinners vanish from the face of the earth;

let the wicked disappear forever.

Let all that I am praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord!

Bible Reading - Psalm 77

Psalm 77

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph.

77:1 My cry goes to God! Indeed,

I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.

77:2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord.

My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired.

My soul refused to be comforted.

77:3 I remember God, and I groan.

I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed.

Selah.

77:4 You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.

77:5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

77:6 I remember my song in the night.

I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

77:7 “Will the Lord reject us forever?

Will he be favorable no more?

77:8 Has his loving kindness vanished forever?

Does his promise fail for generations?

77:9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?

Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.

77:10 Then I thought, “I will appeal to this:

the years of the right hand of the Most High.” 7

7:11 I will remember Yah’s deeds;

for I will remember your wonders of old.

77:12 I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.

77:13 Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

77:14 You are the God who does wonders.

You have made your strength known among the peoples.

77:15 You have redeemed your people with your arm,

the sons of Jacob and Joseph.

Selah.

77:16 The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed.

The depths also convulsed.

77:17 The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

77:18 The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind.

The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

77:19 Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters.

Your footsteps were not known.

77:20 You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Bible Reading - Psalm 30

Psalm 30

(as read by Adam Skirton)

Pastor of Poulner Baptist Chapel)

A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.

30:1 I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up,
and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
30:2 Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
30:3 Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. Y
ou have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
30:4 Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his.
Give thanks to his holy name.
30:5 For his anger is but for a moment.
His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
30:6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”

30:7 You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong;
but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
30:8 I cried to you, Yahweh.
To Yahweh I made supplication:
30:9 “What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise you?
Shall it declare your truth?
30:10 Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me.
Yahweh, be my helper.”
30:11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me.
You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
30:12 To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent.
Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

Bible Reading - Psalm 114

Psalm 114

As read by Heather aged 8

1 When Israel came out of Egypt,

the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 Judah became God's sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

3 The sea looked and fled,

the Jordan turned back;

4 the mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs.

5 Why was it, O sea, that you fled,

O Jordan, that you turned back,

6 you mountains, that you skipped like rams,

you hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who turned the rock into a pool,

the hard rock into springs of water.

Bible Reading - Psalm 127

Psalm 127

 A Song of Ascents. By Solomon

¹ Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain.

Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.

² In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat

- for he grants sleep to those he loves.

³ Sons are a heritage from the LORD,

children a reward from him.

⁴ Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth.

⁵ Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.

They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

Bible Reading - Psalm 27

Psalm 27

By David.
27:1 Yahweh is my light and my salvation.
Whom shall I fear?
Yahweh is the strength of my life.
Of whom shall I be afraid?

27:2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh,
even my adversaries and my foes,
they stumbled and fell.

27:3 Though an army should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear.
Though war should rise against me,
even then I will be confident.

27:4 One thing I have asked of Yahweh,
that I will seek after,
that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life,
to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

27:5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me secretly in his pavilion.
In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me.
He will lift me up on a rock.

27:6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me.
I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent.
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.

27:7 Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice.
 Have mercy also on me,
and answer me.

27:8 When you said, “Seek my face,”
my heart said to you,
“I will seek your face, Yahweh.”

27:9 Don’t hide your face from me.
Don’t put your servant away in anger.
You have been my help.
Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me,
God of my salvation.

27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
then Yahweh will take me up.

27:11 Teach me your way, Yahweh.
Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

27:12 Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries,
for false witnesses have risen up against me,
such as breathe out cruelty.

27:13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

27:14 Wait for Yahweh.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage.
Yes, wait for Yahweh.

Bible Reading - Psalm 135

Psalm 135

¹ Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord! Praise him, you who serve the Lord,
² you who serve in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
³ Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; celebrate his lovely name with music.
⁴ For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own special treasure.
⁵ I know the greatness of the Lord- that our Lord is greater than any other god.
⁶ The Lord does whatever pleases him throughout all heaven and earth, and on the seas and in their depths.
⁷ He causes the clouds to rise over the whole earth. He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses.

⁸ He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home, both people and animals.
⁹ He performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his people.
¹⁰ He struck down great nations and slaughtered mighty kings-
¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.
¹² He gave their land as an inheritance, a special possession to his people Israel.
¹³ Your name, O Lord, endures forever; your fame, O Lord, is known to every generation.
¹⁴ For the Lord will give justice to his people and have compassion on his servants.

¹⁵ The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands.
¹⁶ They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see.
¹⁷ They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell.
¹⁸ And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them.
¹⁹ O Israel, praise the Lord! O priests-descendants of Aaron-praise the Lord!
²⁰ O Levites, praise the Lord! All you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord!
²¹ The Lord be praised from Zion, for he lives here in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
