3	Know that the LORD is God;
			he made us as his own.
		We are the sheep for whom he cares—
			his people, his alone.

	4	Enter his gates with praise,
			his courts with thankfulness.
		Your praises gladly sing to him;
			his name for ever bless.

	5	For God the LORD is good;
			his love is ever sure.
		His constant truth and faithfulness
			through every age endure.

Psalm 50 (Tune: Silver Street)

 1     Lord, haste me to deliver;
         with speed, Lord, succor me.
   2  Let them that for my soul do seek
         shamed and confounded be:

         Turned back be they, and shamed,
         that in my hurt delight.
   3  Turned back be they, Ha, ha! that say,
         their shaming to requite.

   4     In thee let all be glad,
         and joy that seek for thee:
      Let them who thy salvation love
         say still, God praisèd be.

   5     I poor and needy am;
         come, Lord, and make no stay:
      My help thou and deliv'rer art;
         O Lord, make no delay.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.

 6     Thy royal seat, O Lord,
         for ever shall remain:
      The scepter of thy kingdom doth
         all righteousness maintain.

   7     Thou lov'st right, and hat'st ill;
         for God, thy God, most high,
      Above thy fellows hath with th' oil
         of joy anointed thee.

   8     Of myrrh and spices sweet
         a smell thy garments had,
      Out of the iv'ry palaces,
         whereby they made thee glad.

   9     And in thy glorious train
         kings' daughters waiting stand;
      And thy fair queen, in Ophir gold,
         doth stand at thy right hand.

11 The fowls on mountains high are all to me well known;
Wild beasts which in the fields do lie, ev’n they are all mine own.

12 Then, if I hungry were, I would not tell it thee;
Because the world, and fullness all thereof, belongs to me.

13 Will I eat flesh of bulls? or goats’ blood drink will I?
14 Thanks offer thou to God, and pay thy vows to the most High.

15 And call upon me when in trouble thou shalt be;
I will deliver thee, and thou my name shalt glorify.

8 Before me constantly
I set the LORD alone.
Because he is at my right hand
I’ll not be overthrown.

9 Therefore my heart is glad;
my tongue with joy will sing.
My body too will rest secure
in hope unwavering.

10 For you will not allow
my soul in death to stay,
Nor will you leave your Holy One
to see the tomb’s decay.

11 You have made known to me
the path of life divine.
Bliss shall I know at your right hand;
joy from your face will shine.

7 Display your steadfast love
and save with your right hand
All those who flee for help to you
when foes against them stand.

8 In shadow of your wings
hide me in times of strife;
And as the apple of your eye
preserve and guard my life.

15 But I in righteousness
your face will surely see;
And with your likeness, when I wake,
I satisfied will be.

 4     Show me thy ways, O Lord;
         thy paths, O teach thou me:
   5  And do thou lead me in thy truth,
         therein my teacher be:

         to me salvation send,
      And I upon thee all the day

   6     Thy tender mercies, Lord,

      And loving-kindnesses; for they
         have been of old for ever.

1 O Lord, to Thee I cry;
Thou art my rock and trust;
O be not silent, lest I die
And slumber in the dust.

2 O hear me when in prayer
thy favor I entreat;
Hear, while I lift imploring hands
Before Thy mercy-seat

3 O let me have no part
with those that hate the right;
For as their works, so their reward:
Jehovah will requite.

4 But blessed be the Lord
Who hearkens when I cry;
The Lord, my strength, my help, my shield,
On Him will I rely.

5 His help makes glad my heart,
And songs of praise I sing;
Jehovah is His people's strength,
The strong-hold of their king.

6 Bless Thy inheritance,
Our Savior, be, I pray;
Supply Thou all Thy people's need,
And be their constant stay.

12     What man is he that fears
         the Lord, and doth him serve?
      Him shall he teach the way that he
         shall choose, and still observe.

  13     His soul shall dwell at ease;
         and his posterity
      Shall flourish still, and of the earth
         inheritors shall be.

  14     With those that fear him is
         the secret of the Lord;
      The knowledge of his covenant
         he will to them afford.

  15     Mine eyes upon the Lord
         continually are set:
      For he it is that shall bring forth
         my feet out of the net.

8 O peoples, praise our God;
his praise in song repeat.
9 He has preserved our soul alive,
from slipping kept our feet.

10 You tested us, O God,
as silver is refined.
11 You laid sore burdens on our backs;
in chains we were confined.

12 You let us be oppressed;
we went through flood and fire.
But yet you brought us to a place
which met our hearts’ desire.

13 With whole burnt offerings
your temple courts I’ll tread;
I will fulfil my vows to you—
the promises I made.
