Call out to God with the Voice of Joy

Sing praises to God. Sing praises. Sing praises to our King. Sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with a well-written song. God rules over the nations. God sits on His holy throne. Call out to God with the voice of praise for He is near.

I will always proclaim what God has done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. I will tell of His wonderful deeds because He stands up to judge and to rescue the oppressed of the earth. I will make my promises to the Lord my God, and I will keep them. Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One. People everywhere tell of His wonderful deeds for He is near.

God is honored. He is more glorious and majestic than the everlasting mountains. No wonder He is greatly feared!  The earth trembles and stands silent before Him. Many leaders will rise and fall but the Lord is forever. Thanks be to Our God for He is near.

Show your happiness, friends! Call out to God with the voice of joy!

For the Lord Most High is to be feared. He is a great King over all the earth. God has gone up with a loud voice and with the sound of a horn. Sing praises to God. Sing praises. Sing praises to our King. Sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with a well-written song. God rules over the nations. God sits on His holy throne. Call out to God with a voice of praise for He is near.

 How happy is the one whose wrongdoing is forgiven and whose sin is covered! How happy is the one whose sin the Lord does not hold against them, and in whose spirit there is nothing false.

I lift up my hands to His holy place. May honor and thanks be given to the Lord, because He has heard my prayer. The Lord is my strength and my safe cover. My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. So my heart is full of joy. I will thank Him with my song. The Lord is my strength. He is a safe place, my Shepherd who carries me. He forgave the guilt of my sin. So let all who are God-like pray to Him while He may be found, because in the floods of much water, they will not touch Him. He is my hiding place. He keeps me safe from trouble. All around me are His songs of being made free. His loving kindness surrounds me because I put my trust in the Lord. So be glad in the Lord and be full of joy all you who are right with God! Sing for joy all you who are pure in heart.

Jehovah-Sel’i – Lord my Rock

Praise and thanks be to You, O Lord. You are my rock, my wall of strength and my strong place.  You are the One who sets me free and provides a safe covering. You are the One I trust completely. I will sing a new song and give you all of my praise.

Thank you for my life. Even if I walk into trouble, You keep me safe. You put out Your hand against the anger of those who hate me and Your right hand saves me. You do not turn away from me even though my life is like a breath and my days are like a passing shadow. You have promised to finish the work You started in me. Knowing of this promise brings a smile to my face. Thank you!

Thank you for my children. May they mature to full growth in Your love and be like the corner pieces of a great house that cherishes the praise of Your Name.  May there be no cry of trouble in their streets. May they experience Your constant presence and peace.

 I will sing praises to my God as long as I live, for my family’s happiness is in You, and our hope lies in You, O Lord our God.

You made the heavens, the earth, the seas and all that is in them. You are faithful forever.  You help those who have a bad power over them. You give food to the hungry. You set free those who are in prison. You open the eyes of the blind. You raise up those who are brought down and love those who are right and good. You keep the strangers safe and take care of the children who have no father and the woman whose husband has died.

My God, you are so good! You will rule forever! I will sing praises to You as long as I live.  I will sing a new song for my hope lies in You, O Lord our God.

 You answered me on the day I called. You gave my soul strength. Daily I will bow down toward Your holy house, giving thanks to Your name for Your loving-kindness and Your truth. Thank you, Lord, for meeting all my needs and my desires. You held me when I fell, raised me up and called me to live at a higher level. You opened Your hand and filled my desire. You are right and good in Your ways. I will give You thanks with all my heart and give You all of my praise.

 You are truly near to all who call on You in truth. You fill the desire of those who fear You. You hear their cry and save them. You take care of all who love You. Thank you for Your goodness, Lord. You are too great for anyone to understand. I will think about Your power and Your great works for You are full of loving-favor and pity, slow to anger and great in loving-kindness. My mouth will give You all of my praise.

 Jehovah-Misqabbi – Lord my High Tower      

 Song of Thanks for Being Kept Safe

The Lord is my strength, my rock and my safe place. He is the One Who takes me out of trouble. My God is my rock, in Whom I am safe. He is my safe covering, my saving strength and my strong tower. I call to the Lord, Who has the right to be praised and I am saved from those who hate me.  I call to the Lord in my trouble. I cry to God for help. He hears my voice from His holy house. My cry for help reaches His ears.

Lord, You give me a safe place, because You are pleased with me. You live in me! How great is my Rock! Praise be to the You, Lord, Who saves me!

Before Him I was without blame. And I have kept myself from sin. So the Lord has paid me back for being right with Him, and for my hands being clean in His eyes. To the faithful, He shows Himself faithful. To those without blame, He shows Himself blameless. With the pure, He shows Himself pure. He makes my lamp bright. The Lord my God lights my darkness. With my God I can jump over a wall.

Lord, You give me a safe place, because You are pleased with me. You live in me! How great is my Rock! Praise be to You, O Lord, Who saves me!

Your way is perfect. You are a covering for all who go to You. This blessed covering is a safe place. You also give me the covering that saves me. Your right hand holds me up. Your care makes me great. You make the road wide for my steps and my feet have not tripped.

 Lord, You live in me! How great is my Rock! Praise be to You, Who saves me! Yes, You lift me above those who rise up against me. You save me from those who want to hurt me.  So I will give thanks to You, the Lord among the nations. And I will sing praises to Your name as You show loving kindness.

Oh! Let the heavens be glad and let the earth be full of joy. Let the sea and all that is in it make a loud noise. Let the fields and all that is in them be full of joy. Then, all the trees of the land will sing for joy before You. I am so glad!  You, O Lord, my safe covering, my saving strength and my strong tower, are coming.

Jehovah-’Ez-Lami –Lord my Strength and my Song.

Be glad in the Lord and be full of joy all you who are right with God. Sing for joy all you who are pure in heart for The Lord is our strength and safe cover.

Dear heavenly Father, the heavens tell of Your greatness and their vastness show the work of Your hand. Day to day, Your creation speaks of Your greatness as it rises from one end of the heavens to the other.

You are faithful to forgive the guilt of my sin. You are my hiding place. The place where I am safe and where I gain strength.  Your songs of freedom surround me.  Because I trust in You, I am embraced by Your loving-kindness.

Your Word is perfect, giving new strength to every soul. Your Word is right, giving joy to the heart. Your Word is pure, giving light to the eyes. The fear of You, O Lord is pure, lasting forever. You are always true and right in how You judge. Your Word is worth more than gold.

In obeying and choosing to live Your way, there is great reward. So please forgive my sins that I do not see. And keep me from sinning as I go my way. Do not let any sins rule over me. Let the words of my mouth and the desires of my heart be pleasing in Your eyes, O Lord, my Rock and the One Who saves me.

You are faithful to forgive the guilt of my sin. You are my hiding place. The place where I am safe and where I gain strength.  Your songs of freedom surround me.  Because I trust in You, I am embraced by Your loving-kindness.

Be glad in the Lord and be full of joy all you who are right with God. Sing for joy all you who are pure in heart for The Lord is our strength and safe cover.

Jehovah-‘Immeku “Lord is With You”

Judges 6:12

Yeah for Sunday! I was so glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.”  Praise be to the Lord.

praising_god1If the Lord had not been on my side when people came against me, they would have swallowed me alive. The flood of critics would have engulfed me, tormented me and swept me away in the raging waters of their anger. I have escaped like a bird, but not by my strength.  My help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth

Unto You, O Lord, I lift up my eyes to the heavens.

As the eyes of a servant look to the hand of her master and the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so my eyes stay on You, my God, where I find strength, mercy and comfort. Continue to have mercy on me, O Lord. I still struggle. I am exceedingly filled with contempt and anger to those who find joy in tormenting me. I am desperate for Your strength, Your mercy and Your comfort.

I pray for peace to calm me. Let me prosper for I love you. Let peace rain within the walls of my home and prosperity come to the work of my hand. I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. You, O Lord, are my keeper; You are my shade. The sun will not strike me by day, nor the moon by night. You will preserve me from all evil; You will preserve my soul. You will preserve my going out and my coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.

Yeah for Sunday! I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.”
