The Lord takes pleasure in the just,
Whom sinners treat with scorn;
The meek that lie despised in dust
Salvation shall adorn.

Praise[a] the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song,And His praise in the assembly of saints. 2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.3 Let them praise His name with the dance;Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.4 For the Lord takes pleasure in […]
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!
While I live I will praise the Lord;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
Sweet is the memory of thy grace,
My God, my heav’nly King;
Let age to age thy righteousness
In sounds of glory sing.
Long as I live I’ll bless thy name,
My King, my God of love;
My work and joy shall be the same
In the bright world above.
Forever blessed be the Lord,
My Savior and my shield!
He sends his Spirit with his word,
To arm me for the field.
I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord;
His mercies still endure;
And be the King of kings adored;
His truth is ever sure.
Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven!
For His mercy endures forever
The Lord is righteous;
He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.
Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
