Psalm 146 (NIVUK)
1 Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord, my soul.
2 I will praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
3 Do not put your trust in princes,
in human beings, who cannot save.
4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
on that very day their plans come to nothing.
5 Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.6 He is the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them –
he remains faithful for ever.
7 He upholds the cause of the oppressed
and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free,
8 the Lord gives sight to the blind,
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,
the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the foreigner
and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.10 The Lord reigns for ever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.Praise the Lord.
A punk psalm
Gonna praise you no matter what anyone says
Gonna praise you even when I’m a facing my death
I have no trust in
Princes, palaces, powers
Every one of these things gonna meet their hour
Man I’m gonna praise you all of my days
Man I’m gonna praise you all of my days
You’re the maker of heaven and earth
You’re the shaker freeing the hungry, oppressed
I know you’ll set all of
These prisoners free
Gonna step up even the blind they will see
Man I’m gonna praise you all of my days
Man I’m gonna praise you all of my days
Foreigner!
Fatherless!
All alone!
And bereft!
You, gonna reign forever and more
You, gonna reign forever and more.
Prayer:
Lord of everything and more we cannot see
Draw close to me
Let me build a song from the old tunes
Let me sing out loud in any old room
Thank you for your endless love
Let me sing in protest and let me sing in peace
Let me never be afraid to say my piece
Let me find you in the crowd
Let me hear your voice out loud.
