Psalm 11 Hymn
My favourite Psalm 11 hymn is 'Since I take refuge in the Lord' by Karl Kohlhase.
'Since I take refuge in the Lord' Song Lyrics
Since I take refuge in the Lord (echo)
How can you say to my soul (echo)
Fly like a bird (echo)
Unto the mountains (echo)
(repeat)
-----------------------------------------------------
See the wicked bend their bow
Fix their arrow on the string
In the darkness they will shoot
At the upright in heart
If foundations are destroyed
Then what can the righteous do?
If foundations are destroyed
Then what can the righteous do?
REFRAIN
In His temple is the Lord
Who in Heaven is enthroned
With His eyes He will behold
And will test the sons of men
For the Lord loves righteousness
The upright will see His face
Yes the Lord loves righteousness
The upright will see His face
REFRAIN
Since I take refuge in the Lord…
Psalm 12 Hymn
My favourite Psalm 12 hymn is the 'The Word of the Lord is a pure word' by Jesse & Leah Roberts.
'The Word of the Lord is a pure word' Song Lyrics
The word of the Lord is a pure word
The word of the Lord is a pure word
Like refined and shined silver
Purified seven times over
Is Your promise, is Your promise
And this is what You promise
You will come and save the helpless
You have heard the cry of every poor
You will grant them what they long for
Psalm 13 Hymn
Psalm 13 Hymn is a beautiful prayer in the Bible. My favourite Psalm 13 Hymn is 'How long will You forget me?' by Jesse & Leah Roberts.
'How long will You forget me?' Song Lyrics
How long will You forget me
How long will You hide Your face
How long will my heart anguish
With sorrow day by day
How long will You forget me
How long will You look away
How long will my mind anguish
With sorrow day by day
Restore the light to my eyes
Turn and answer me, answer me
Restore the light to my eyes
Lest I sleep the sleep and never wake
How long will You forget me
How long will You hide Your face
How long will my heart anguish
With sorrow everyday
Restore the light to my eyes
Turn and answer me, answer me
Restore the light to my eyes
Lest I sleep the sleep and never wake
But my heart will rejoice in Your deliverance
I will sing to the Lord because You are generous.
Psalm 14 Hymn
My favourite Psalm 14 Hymn is 'The Lord looks down from heaven' by Jesse & Leah Roberts. Their ministry website everypsalm.com has a collection of hymns composed by them.
'The Lord looks down from heaven' Song Lyrics
The Lord looks down from heaven
On the children of men
To see if there are any
Who truly understand who truly understand
Only fools say in their hearts
There is no God, there is no God
Who will come from Zion
To rescue His own
You will come from Zion
And we will rejoice and we will rejoice
On the coming day, the righteous say:
"He is our God, He is our God"
Psalm 15 Hymn
My favourite psalm 15 hymn is 'Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle?' by SingtheKJV. They have composed and sung a beautiful hymn using all the verses from Psalm 15 King James Version.
'Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle?' Song Lyrics
Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle?
Who shall dwell in Thy Holy hill?
He that walketh uprightly,
And worketh righteousness,
And speaketh the truth in his heart.
He that backbiteth not with his tongue,
Nor doeth evil to his neighbour,
Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
In whose eyes a vile person is contemned;
but he honoureth them that fear the Lord.
He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
He that putteth not out his money to usury,
Nor taketh reward against the innocent.
He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
Psalm 16 Hymn
My favourite psalm 16 hymn 'I said to the Lord' by Jesse & Leah Roberts.
'I said to the Lord' Song Lyrics
I said to the Lord, You are my master
Every good thing I have comes from You
Comes from You
I know that the Lord is always with me
I will not be shaken for He is with me
I said to the Lord, You are my portion
Every day and every night, I rest easy
Rest easy
I know that the Lord is always with me
I will not be shaken for He is with me
I said to the Lord, You hold my future
Truly my inheritance is beautiful
Is beautiful
In Your presence is fullness of joy
In Your presence is pleasure forever
And that is where I want to be
That is where I want to be
The pleasure of living with You
The pleasure of being with You
Psalm 17 Hymn
My favourite psalm 17 hymn is 'O, keep me as the apple of Your eye' by Karl Kohlhase.
'O, keep me as the apple of Your eye' Song Lyrics
O Keep me as the apple of Your eye
Hide me in the shadow of Your wings
Keep me as the apple of Your eye
Hide me in the shadow of Your wings
-----------------------------------------------------
Hear a just cause, O Lord
Attend unto my cry
Turn Your ear to my prayer
From lips free of deceit
O let my judgment come from You
You who discern what is right
Search my heart in the night
And find in me no wrong
By Your Word I avoid
The ways of violent men
My steps have held firm to Your paths
See how my feet have not slipped
REFRAIN
I will call upon You
O God, You’ll answer me
Turn Your ear to my words
And show me Your steadfast love
O Savior of the ones who seek
Salvation at Your right hand
Deadly foes now surround
With hearts closed against me
Their mouths speaking with pride
Their eyes set to cast down
Eager to tear me like a lion
Like a young lion on the prowl
Rise, O Lord, and confront
And save me by Your sword
From the men of this world
Whose portion is in this life
Their bellies filled up with treasure
Leaving their wealth to their sons
REFRAIN
(Bridge repeated 4 times)
As for me I shall see Your face
Your likeness when I awake
REFRAIN
Psalm 18 Hymn
My favourite psalm 18 hymn is 'Caught up and entangled' by Jesse & Leah Roberts.
'Caught up and entangled' Song Lyrics
Caught up and entangled in the ropes of death
Torrents of destruction swept over my head
The grave robes wrapped their wretched trap
I called to the Lord with the voice that I had left
I cried to my God for the only help that made sense
From his temple, He heard my voice
My dying cry reached His ears
You came to the earth with shaking
There was fire from Your mouth
Mounted on the mighty angels
From the heavens, You came down
Veiled in power and darkness
Your perfect voice resounds
Thunder mighty followed lightning
Grounds foundations all laid out
To the faithful, You show Yourself faithful
To the pure, You show yourself pure
You are the rescue for the afflicted
To the blameless You are innocent
You are the light to every lamp stand
To the darkness illuminate
A rock, a shield, salvation wielded
Oh God, You are my strength
The Lord lives; may my rock be praised.
Psalm 19 Hymn
My favourite psalm 19 hymn is 'The heavens are telling the glory of God' by Karl Kohlhase.
'The heavens are telling the glory of God' Song Lyrics
The heavens are telling the glory of God
The firmament heralds the works of His hand
Daily their speech is outpoured
Nightly their knowledge declared
Now there is no speaking, nor do they use words
Their voice is unheard, yet it fills the whole world
Surely they send out their words
Unto the ends of the earth
-----------------------------------------------------
Let the words of my mouth
And the thoughts of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord,
My Rock and Redeemer
-----------------------------------------------------
He placed in the heavens a tent for the sun
Which comes like a bridegroom departing his room
Like a strong man so it goes
Running its course full of joy
From one end of heaven its rising is seen
Completing its circuit, the other end gleams
Nothing is hid from its heat
No, nothing is hid from its heat
REFRAIN
The Lord’s law is perfect, the soul to revive
His statements are sure, making simple men wise
Right precepts gladden the heart
Pure commands brighten the eyes
Both clean and enduring, the fear of the Lord
And righteous completely are all His true Words
Valued above finest gold
Sweeter than pure honeycomb
REFRAIN
And further, Your servant is warned by Your Words
He, always in keeping them, finds great reward
But who discerns all his flaws?
Clear me from my hidden faults
So may he be kept from presumptuous sins
Give them no dominion to rule over him
Then I shall be innocent
And blameless of all greater sin
REFRAIN x2
The heavens are telling the glory of God
Psalm 20 Hymn
My favourite psalm 20 hymns are 'Some trust in chariots' by Law of Liberty and 'The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble' by SingtheKJV.
'Some trust in chariots' Song Lyrics
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses:
But we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses:
But we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed;
He will hear him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.
They are brought down and fallen:
But we are risen, and stand upright.
'The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble' Song Lyrics
The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble;
The name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
Send thee help from the sanctuary,
And strengthen thee out of Zion;
Remember all thy offerings,
And accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
Grant thee according to thine own heart,
And fulfil all thy counsel.
We will rejoice in thy salvation,
And in the name of our God,
We will set up our banners:
The Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
Now know I that the Lord
Saveth his anointed;
He will hear him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of his right hand.
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses:
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
They are brought down and fallen:
But we are risen, and stand upright.
Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
