Psalm 121

Psalm 121

I lift up my eyes to the hills - 

where does my help come from?

My help comes from the  LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip- 

he who watches over you will not

slumber;

indeed, he who watches over Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD watches over you-

the LORD is your shade at your right

hand:

the sun will not harm you by day,

nor the moon by night.

The LORD will keep you from all harm-

he will watch over your life;

the LORD will watch over your coming and 

going

both now and for evermore.

Psalm 8

PSALM 8

O LORD, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the 

earth!

You have set glory 

above the heavens.

From the lips of children and infants 

you have ordained praise

because of your enemies,

to silence the foe and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens,

the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which you have set in place,

what is man that you are mindful of him,

the son of man that you care for him?

You made him a little lower than the

heavenly beings

and crowned him with glory and 

honour.

You made him ruler over the works of your hands;

you put everything under his feet:

all flocks and herds,

and the beasts of the field,

the birds of the air,

and the fish of the sea, 

all that swim the paths of the seas,

O LORD, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the 

earth!

Psalm 103

Psalm 103

Praise the Lord, O my soul all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 

Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits

who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from the pit

and crowns you with love and compassion,

who satisfies your desires with good things

so that your youth is renewed like the 

eagle's

The LORD works righteousness

and justice for all the oppressed. 

He made known his ways to Moses,

his deeds to the people of Israel:

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, 

slow to anger, abounding in love. 

He will not always accuse, 

nor will he harbour his anger for ever;

he does not treat us as our sins deserve

or repay us according to our iniquities.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his love for those who fear

him;

as far as the east is from the west, 

so far has he removed our 

transgression from us. 

As a father has compassion on his 

children,

so the LORD has compassion on those 

who fear him;

for he knows how we are formed,

he remembers that we are dust.

As for man, his days are like grass,

he flourishes like a flower of the field;

the wind blows over it and it is gone,

and its place remembers it no more. 

But from everlasting to everlasting

the Lord's love is with those who fear 

him.

and his righteousness with their 

children's children - 

with those who keep his covenant

and remember to obey his precepts.

The LORD has established his throne in heaven,

and his kingdom rules over all.

Praise the LORD, you his angels,

you mighty ones who do his bidding,

who obey his word.

Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts,

you his servants who do his will. 

Praise the LORD, all his works 

everywhere in his dominion. 

Praise the LORD, O my soul.
