Psalm 61

Psalm 61 -- Desert Moon music and lyrics by Chad Woodburn November 19, 2011

O hear my cry, O God;
give heed unto my prayer.
Far from my land I call
here at the earth's far end.

O let me worship You
ever in Your tent.
Let me find shelter 'neath
the shadow of Your loving wings of grace.

You have heard all my vows
that I made for Your fame.
So, You'll make my whole life most blest.

You will add days unto
all my days without end.
I will sit ruling at Your side.

Give me Your love and truth.
Let them preserve my soul.
So I will praise Your name
forever as I've vowed.

Thus I will sing Your praise
every day of my life,
and I will pay my vows
day by day in Your temple gates for ever.

Psalm 61 (ESV)
[1] Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer;
[2] from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I,
[3] for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.
[4] Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
[5] For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
[6] Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations!
[7] May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
[8] So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day.

    Psalm 62

    Psalm 62 Song Performed by Aaron Keyes, with Lyrics and slideshow. Praise music with lyrics.

    Lyrics Below:
    My soul finds rest in God alone, My Rock and my salvation,
    A fortress strong against my foes, And I will not be shaken.
    Though lips may bless and hearts may curse, And lies like arrows pierce me,
    I'll fix my heart on righteousness, I'll look to Him who hears me.

    O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward;
    Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God.

    Find rest, my soul, in God alone
    Amid the world's temptations;
    When evil seeks to take a hold
    I'll cling to my salvation.
    Though riches come and riches go,
    Don't set your heart upon them;
    The fields of hope in which I sow
    Are harvested in heaven.

    O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward;
    Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God.

    I'll set my gaze on God alone,
    And trust in Him completely;
    With every day pour out my soul,
    And He will prove His mercy.
    Though life is but a fleeting breath,
    A sigh too brief to measure,
    My King has crushed the curse of death
    And I am His forever.

    O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward;
    Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God.

    O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward;
    Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God.


    O praise Him, O praise Him, hallelujah, hallelujah,
    O praise Him, O praise Him, hallelujah, hallelujah,
    O praise Him, O praise Him, hallelujah! hallelujah!

    O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward;
    Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God.

      Psalm 68
      Published on Mar 11, 2012
      Performance by the Psalm Choir of Psalm 68, Psalter 179 titled "Invocation and Praise" from their CD "Fitting Praises Volume 5"

      The tune is named "Alstone" and was composed Christopher E. Willing, 1868, from The Parish School Hymnal.

      Christopher was the son of Christopher Willing, al¬to and as¬sist¬ant gen¬tle¬man at the Chapel Royal. At age eight, he entered the Westminster Abbey choir under Turle. Even at this age he could play the organ and once, when Turle became ill, he walked down the nave past the congregation, climbed onto the organ stool and finished the service. He became deputy organist at age 14, and was often left in sole charge by Turle. In 1848, he was elected organist of the Foundling Hospital, staying there 31 years, though part of the time he held other offices as well, driving at full speed from one to another. One of his last appointments was organist at Hugh Haweis' church in Westminster Place, Marylebone, not far from Charles Wesley's London home. He compiled a collection of tunes, many of his own composition, and was involved with opera, as well.

      Most of the members of the choir are from the Protestant Reformed Churches in America. For more info about this denomination check out http://www.prca.org

      The Psalter was first published in 1912 by the United Presbyterian Church.

      Lyrics:
      1. Let God arise, and by His might
      Let all His foes be put to flight;
      But, O ye righteous, gladly sing,
      Exult before your God and King.

      2. Jehovah's praises sound abroad,
      Rejoice before the living God;
      Prepare the way that He may come
      And make the desert places bloom.

      3. A father of the fatherless,
      A judge of widows in distress,
      Is God, the God of boundless grace,
      Who dwells within His holy place.

      4. God frees the captive and He sends
      The blessedness of home and friends,
      And only those in darkness stay
      Who will not trust Him and obey.
