Seeker Overlay ON
*
Not to us ,
O LORD ,
not to us ,
but to thy name give glory ,
for the sake of thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness !
*
Why should the nations say , "
Where is their God ?"
*
Our God is in the heavens ;
he does whatever he pleases .
*
Their idols are silver and gold ,
the work of men '
s hands .
*
They have mouths ,
but do not speak ;
eyes ,
but do not see .
*
They have ears ,
but do not hear ;
noses ,
but do not smell .
*
They have hands ,
but do not feel ;
feet ,
but do not walk ;
and they do not make a sound in their throat .
*
Those who make them are like them ;
so are all who trust in them .
*
O Israel ,
trust in the LORD !
He is their help and their shield .
*
O house of Aaron ,
put your trust in the LORD !
He is their help and their shield .
*
You who fear the LORD ,
trust in the LORD !
He is their help and their shield .
*
The LORD has been mindful of us ;
he will bless us ;
he will bless the house of Israel ;
he will bless the house of Aaron ;
*
he will bless those who fear the LORD ,
both small and great .
*
May the LORD give you increase ,
you and your children !
*
May you be blessed by the LORD ,
who made heaven and earth !
*
The heavens are the LORD '
s heavens ,
but the earth he has given to the sons of men .
*
The dead do not praise the LORD ,
nor do any that go down into silence .
*
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore .
Praise the LORD !
*
I love the LORD ,
because he has heard my voice and my supplications .
*
Because he inclined his ear to me ,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live .
*
The snares of death encompassed me ;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me ;
I suffered distress and anguish .
*
Then I called on the name of the LORD : "
O LORD ,
I beseech thee ,
save my life !"
*
Gracious is the LORD ,
and righteous ;
our God is merciful .
*
The LORD preserves the simple ;
when I was brought low ,
he saved me .
*
Return ,
O my soul ,
to your rest ;
for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you .
*
For thou hast delivered my soul from death ,
my eyes from tears ,
my feet from stumbling ;
*
I walk before the LORD in the land of the living .
*
I kept my faith ,
even when I said , "
I am greatly afflicted ";
*
I said in my consternation , "
Men are all a vain hope ."
*
What shall I render to the LORD for all his bounty to me ?
*
I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD ,
*
I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people .
*
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints .
*
O LORD ,
I am thy servant ;
I am thy servant ,
the son of thy handmaid .
Thou hast loosed my bonds .
*
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD .
*
I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people ,
*
in the courts of the house of the LORD ,
in your midst ,
O Jerusalem .
Praise the LORD !
*
Praise the LORD ,
all nations !
Extol him ,
all peoples !
*
For great is his steadfast love toward us ;
and the faithfulness of the LORD endures for ever .
Praise the LORD !
*
O give thanks to the LORD ,
for he is good ;
his steadfast love endures for ever !
*
Let Israel say , "
His steadfast love endures for ever ."
*
Let the house of Aaron say , "
His steadfast love endures for ever ."
*
Let those who fear the LORD say , "
His steadfast love endures for ever ."
*
Out of my distress I called on the LORD ;
the LORD answered me and set me free .
*
With the LORD on my side I do not fear .
What can man do to me ?
*
The LORD is on my side to help me ;
I shall look in triumph on those who hate me .
*
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to put confidence in man .
*
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to put confidence in princes .
*
All nations surrounded me ;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off !
*
They surrounded me ,
surrounded me on every side ;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off !
*
They surrounded me like bees ,
they blazed like a fire of thorns ;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off !
*
I was pushed hard ,
so that I was falling ,
but the LORD helped me .
*
The LORD is my strength and my song ;
he has become my salvation .
*
Hark ,
glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous : "
The right hand of the LORD does valiantly ,
*
the right hand of the LORD is exalted ,
the right hand of the LORD does valiantly !"
*
I shall not die ,
but I shall live ,
and recount the deeds of the LORD .
*
The LORD has chastened me sorely ,
but he has not given me over to death .
*
Open to me the gates of righteousness ,
that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD .
*
This is the gate of the LORD ;
the righteous shall enter through it .
*
I thank thee that thou hast answered me and hast become my salvation .
*
The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner .
*
This is the LORD '
s doing ;
it is marvelous in our eyes .
*
This is the day which the LORD has made ;
let us rejoice and be glad in it .
*
Save us ,
we beseech thee ,
O LORD !
O LORD ,
we beseech thee ,
give us success !
*
Blessed be he who enters in the name of the LORD !
We bless you from the house of the LORD .
*
The LORD is God ,
and he has given us light .
Bind the festal procession with branches ,
up to the horns of the altar !
*
Thou art my God ,
and I will give thanks to thee ;
thou art my God ,
I will extol thee .
*
O give thanks to the LORD ,
for he is good ;
for his steadfast love endures for ever !
*
Blessed are those whose way is blameless ,
who walk in the law of the LORD !
