Psalms

Psam 145

TIS 89, O Lord, you are my God and King, is a paraphrase of Psalm 145:1-7,9-12. The following paraphrase of Psalm 145:1-5,17-21 by David Schütz may be sung to various tunes, including Quam dilecta (LH 503) and St Cecilia (LH 416). If reproducing this version, please put ‘Words (c) David Schütz’ at the beginning or the end of the psalm.I praise you, God and King,
I bless your holy name,
forever every day,
I bless your name always.

Great is the Lord our God,
and greatly to be praised,
his greatness is beyond
all human power to know.

And every age will tell
each other of your works,
and everyone declare
the mighty things you do.

And I will meditate
upon your wondrous works,
the beauty of your face,
the splendour of your ways.

The Lord is just and kind,
he’s near to all who call.
He fills and saves all those
who learn to fear his name.

The wicked he puts down;
he watches those he loves.
My mouth will praise the Lord;
all creatures bless his name.

Psalm 98

TIS 56 O sing a new song to the Lord and 57 Sing to the Lord a new song are versions of this psalm.

The chorus of ‘Sing a new song unto the Lord’ (ATA 150) by Dan Schutte is based on Psalm 98. The song could be used for the psalm, although the verses are not really a translation of the psalm itself.

The following paraphrase of Psalm 98 by David Schütz may be sung to the tune Wir pflügen (‘We plough the fields and scatter’, LH 563, TIS 130). If reproducing this version, please put ‘Words (c) David Schütz’ at the beginning or the end of the psalm.

Sing to the Lord a new song,
great wonders he has done!
For he has shown the victory
his mighty power has won.
The ends of earth have all seen
the saving acts of God.
Let all the earth shout praises;
ring out your song with joy!

Sing the Lord a new song,
from earth to heaven above:
‘Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia.’

Sing psalms and play the harp, and
with music praise the Lord!
Come, blow the trumpet! Sound the horn!
Acclaim the Lord your King!
Let seas and all that fills them,
with earth rise up and roar,
let rivers clap their hands, and
let hills ring out their joy!
