Since this went so horribly when my Dad
tried to do it spur of the moment at church a few months ago, I
thought I would do it in a series of posts.
I'm eating Psalms with my breakfast
and, as I go through, I keep noticing lines that have been turned
into devo songs or hymns. So, periodically I will share those that I
have found. Maybe someday we can have a Sunday/Wednesday night
singing service and go through some of them.
I'll put the portion that's a direct
quote from the verse in italics.
From Psalm 3:3
Thou, Oh Lord, are a
shield about me,
You're my glory, You're
the lifter of my head.
(Repeat)
Halleluiah,
Halleluiah, Halleluiah
You're
the lifter of my head.
From
Psalm 3:6 and 7
I
am not afraid of 10 thousands of people
who
have set themselves against me.
(Continue
repeating)
(After
the first group has sang the above twice, another group comes in with
the following)
Arise!
Arise! Deliver me, O my God.
(Repeat
once and then the groups switch or the song comes to a close)
I know
that probably made no sense but, despite being a simple song, it
sounds pretty cool with a big group of people.
From
Psalm 8:1
O
Lord, our Lord
how
majestic is your name in all the earth
O
Lord, our Lord
How
majestic is Your name in all the earth
O
Lord, we praise Your name
O
Lord, we magnify Your name
Prince
of peace, mighty God
O
Lord, God Almighty
O,
Lord, our Lord
How
majestic is Your name in all the earth
O,
Lord, our Lord
How
majestic is Your name in all the earth
O
Lord, we praise Your name
O
Lord, we magnify Your name
Prince
of peace, mighty God
O
Lord, God Almighty, Almighty
O,
Lord, our Lord
How
majestic is Your name in all the earth
O
Lord, we praise Your name
O
Lord, we magnify Your name
O
Lord, we praise Your name
O
Lord, we magnify Your name
Prince
of peace, mighty God
O
Lord, God Almighty
Prince
of peace, mighty God
O
Lord, God Almighty
We
magnify Your name
From
Psalm 18:3
I will call upon the
Lord,
who is worthy to be
praised,
so shall I be saved
from my enemies.
Chorus:
The
Lord liveth and blessed be the Rock,
And
let the God of my salvation be exalted.
Jesus
Christ He died for me,
And He
took away my sin.
I will
live with Him for eternity!
From
Psalm 19:7-10
The law of the Lord is
perfect,
Converting the soul;
The testimony of the
Lord is sure,
Making wise the simple.
More to be desired are
they than gold,
Yea than much fine
gold,
Sweeter also than honey
and the honeycomb.
More to be desired are
they than gold,
Yea than much fine
gold,
Sweeter also than honey
and the honeycomb.
The
statutes of the Lord are right,
Rejoicing
the heart;
The
commandment of the Lord is pure,
Enlightening
the eyes.
The
fear of the Lord is clean,
Enduring
for ever;
The
judgements of the Lord are true
And
righteous altogether.
From
Psalm 19:14. The last time I sang this was in Nigeria (a long time
ago) and, as far as I can remember, these were all the words.
Let words of my mouth
and the meditations of
my of my heart
be acceptable in Thy
sight,
O Lord
From
Psalm 23...the whole Psalm
So far,
in my reading, those are the ones I've come across. If I skipped over
any, feel free to point me to them.
