Amen.

The New Cloverdale Psalter (2019 Update of 1535 Original)

“Psalm 105”

1 Give thanks unto the LORD and call upon his Name; *
tell the peoples what things he has done.
2 O let your songs be of him, and praise him, *
and let your speech be of all his wondrous works.
3 Rejoice in his holy Name; *
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
4 Seek the LORD and his strength; *
seek his face evermore.
5 Remember the marvelous works that he has done, *
his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
6 O seed of Abraham his servant, *
O children of Jacob his chosen.

7 He is the LORD our God; *
his judgments are in all the world.
8 He has always been mindful of his covenant, *
and the promise that he made to a thousand generations,
9 Even the covenant that he made with Abraham, *
and the oath that he swore to Isaac,
10 Which he appointed to Jacob for a law, *
and to Israel for an everlasting testament,
11 Saying, “To you will I give the land of Canaan *
to be the portion of your inheritance.”

12 When there were yet but a few of them, *
and they were strangers in the land,
13 And they wandered from nation to nation, *
and from one kingdom to another,
14 He allowed no one to do them wrong, *
but reproved even kings for their sakes:
15 “Do not touch my Anointed, *
and do my prophets no harm.”

16 Moreover, he called for a famine in the land *
and destroyed all the provision of bread.
17 But he had sent a man before them: *
Joseph, who was sold to be a bondservant,
18 Whose feet they hurt in the stocks; *
they put an iron collar around his neck.
19 Until the time came that his sayings were fulfilled, *
the word of the LORD tried him.
20 The king sent and delivered him; *
the ruler of the people let him go free.
21 He made him lord over his house, *
and ruler of all his possessions,
22 That he might instruct his princes according to his will *
and teach his elders wisdom.

23 Israel also came into Egypt, *
and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people exceedingly, *
and made them stronger than their enemies,
25 Whose heart he turned, so that they hated his people, *
and dealt deceitfully with his servants.

26 Then he sent Moses his servant, *
and Aaron whom he had chosen,
27 And they worked his signs among them, *
and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and it was dark; *
but they were not obedient to his word.
29 He turned their waters into blood *
and caused their fish to die.
30 Their land brought forth frogs, *
even in their kings’ chambers.
31 He spoke the word, and there came all manner of flies, *
and gnats in all their borders.
32 He gave them hailstones for rain, *
and flames of fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also, and their fig trees, *
and destroyed the trees that were in their borders.
34 He spoke the word, and the grasshoppers came, and locusts innumerable, *
which ate up all the grass in their land and devoured the fruit of their ground.
35 He smote all the firstborn in their land, *
even the first-fruits of all their strength.
36 He brought forth Israel with silver and gold; *
in all their tribes there was not one who stumbled.

37 Egypt was glad at their departing, *
for they were afraid of them.
38 He spread out a cloud to be a covering, *
and fire to give light in the night season.
39 At their desire he brought quail, *
and he filled them with the bread of heaven.
40 He opened the rock, and the waters flowed out, *
so that rivers ran in the dry places.
41 For he remembered his holy promise *
and Abraham his servant.
42 And he brought forth his people with joy, *
and his chosen ones with gladness,
43 And gave them the lands of the nations, *
and they took the labors of the peoples in possession,
44 That they might keep his statutes *
and observe his laws.

Praise the LORD.

Consider:

“Let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his face evermore.”
(Psalm 105:3-4)

The LORD is wholly glorious; every deed of his will bear the strictest scrutiny; his name is holy, his character is holy, his law is holy, his government is holy, his influence is holy.

To worship the Lord and seek his kingdom and righteousness is the sure way to happiness, indeed there is no other.

Put yourselves under his protection, and seek to know the power of his grace.

To seek his face is to desire his presence, his smile, his favor consciously enjoyed.

__ Spurgeon

The LORD is holy and all-powerful.

Q: How does seeking him apply to your current circumstances?

Q: Are you able to look beyond your current circumstances and rejoice in the LORD?

Q: Where do you need the LORD’s strength to sustain you now?

Prayer

LORD God Almighty: you have given us this good land as our heritage.
We acknowledge and lament the many sins and offenses we have committed against you and one another.

+ We have forgotten your favor and turned away for your rule and reign in our lives….
LORD, have mercy.

+ We have depended on government welfare instead of hard work to sustain us….
LORD, have mercy.

+ We have substituted revisionist history for our god-fearing origins….
LORD, have mercy.

+ We have denied the poorest among us a basic education and safe classrooms….
LORD, have mercy.

+ We have allowed immorality of every sort to become accepted behavior….
LORD, have mercy.

LORD God Almighty: we are reaping what we have sown. Violence, discord, confusion, lies, deceit, and pervasive evil infect our land; religious and racial tensions are exploited for personal and political gain; and our government is corrupt – there is no equal justice or peace in our land. We have provoked your righteous anger against us.

LORD have mercy, for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ: forgive us and renew this land, that we may serve you to the honor and glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The New Cloverdale Psalter (2019 Update of 1535 Original)

“Psalm 104”

1 Praise the LORD, O my soul. *

O LORD my God, you have become exceedingly glorious; you are clothed with majesty and honor.
2 You clothe yourself with light as with a garment, *
and spread out the heavens like a curtain.
3 You lay the beams of your chambers in the waters, *
and make the clouds your chariot, and walk upon the wings of the wind.
4 You make winds your messengers, *
and flames of fire your ministers.

5 You laid the foundations of the earth, *
that it never should move at any time.
6 You cover it with the deep as with a garment; *
the waters stand above the hills.
7 At your rebuke they fled; *
at the voice of your thunder they hastened away.
8 They went up as high as the hills, and down to the valleys beneath, *
even to the place you had appointed for them.
9 You have set bounds for them which they shall not pass; *
neither shall they again cover the earth.

10 You send the springs into the rivers, *
which run among the hills.
11 All beasts of the field drink thereof, *
and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Beside them shall the birds of the air have their habitation *
and sing among the branches.
13 You water the hills from above; *
the earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
14 You bring forth grass for the cattle, *
and plants for the service of mankind,
15 That they may bring food out of the earth, and wine that makes glad the heart, *
and oil to make a cheerful countenance, and bread to strengthen the heart.
16 The trees of the LORD also are full of sap, *
even the cedars of Lebanon which he planted,
17 Wherein the birds make their nests, *
and the fir trees are a dwelling for the stork.
18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats, *
and so are the stony cliffs for the rock badgers.

19 You appointed the moon to mark the seasons, *
and the sun knows its going down.
20 You make darkness that it may be night, *
in which all the beasts of the forest move.
21 The lions, roaring after their prey, *
seek their meat from God.
22 The sun arises, and they go away together, *
and lay themselves down in their dens.
23 Man goes forth to his work, *
and to his labor until the evening.

24 O LORD, how manifold are your works; *
in wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
25 So is the great and wide sea also, *
in which are things creeping innumerable, creatures both small and great.
26 There go the ships, and there is that Leviathan, *
whom you made to take its pleasure therein.

27 These all wait upon you, *
that you may give them food in due season.
28 When you give it to them, they gather it, *
and when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
29 When you hide your face, they are troubled; *
when you take away their breath, they die, and are turned again to their dust.
30 When you let your breath go forth, they shall be made, *
and you shall renew the face of the earth.

31 The glorious majesty of the LORD shall endure for ever; *
the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32 He looks at the earth and it trembles; *
if he even touches the hills, they shall smoke.

33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live; *
I will praise my God while I have my being,
34 And so shall my words please him; *
my joy shall be in the LORD.
35 As for sinners, they shall perish from the earth, and the ungodly shall come to an end. *

Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Praise the LORD.

Consider:

“When you let your breath go forth, they shall be made,
and you shall renew the face of the earth.”
(Psalm 104:30)

The works of the Lord are majestically simple, and are performed with royal ease—a breath creates, and its withdrawal destroys. If we read the word spirit, it is also instructive, for we see the Divine Spirit going forth to create life in nature even as we see him in the realms of grace.

At the flood the world was stripped of almost all life, yet how soon the power of God refilled the desolate places! In winter the earth falls into a sleep which makes her appear worn and old, but how readily does the Lord awaken her with the voice of spring, and make her put on anew the beauty of her youth. You, Lord, do all things, and let glory be unto your name.

__ Spurgeon

_____

Man alone amongst the creatures grieves God, and brought tears from the eyes of Christ, who rejoiced in Spirit, because the Father had deigned to reveal the mysteries to the little ones. God repented that he had made men, because as a wise son makes a glad father, so a foolish one is a vexation to him.

—Lorinus.

Consider the world around you, the immediate world in which you live day to day.

Q: Can you distinguish between those who are living wise and foolish lives? How?

Q: Can you distinguish between the wise and foolish thoughts, feelings, and actions in your own life?

Q: Where do you need God to send forth His renewing Spirit in your immediate world? …in your life?

Proverbs (04) (The wisdom of Solomon)

1 My children, listen when your father corrects you.
Pay attention and learn good judgment,

23 Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life.

24 Avoid all perverse talk;
stay away from corrupt speech.

25 Look straight ahead,
and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
26 Mark out a straight path for your feet;
stay on the safe path.
27 Don’t get sidetracked;
keep your feet from following evil.

Prayer

+ Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage: I pray that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of your favor and glad to do your will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure conduct. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought here from many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom, in your Name, we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to your law, we may show forth your praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, preserve our trust in you; all of which I ask through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.

+ Merciful God, you desire not the death of sinners, but rather that they should turn to you and live; and through your only Son you have revealed yourself as the God who pardons iniquity. Have mercy on the unrepentant and those who do not believe. Awaken in them, by your Word and Holy Spirit, a deep sense of their sinfulness and peril. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of your Word. Grant them to know and feel that there is no other Name under heaven given among men by which they must be saved, but only the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And so bring them home and number them among your children, that they may be yours for ever; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, *
and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgives all your sin *
and heals all your infirmities,
4 Who saves your life from the pit *
and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness,
5 Who satisfies you with good things, *
renewing your youth like an eagle’s.

6 The LORD executes righteousness and judgment *
for all those who are oppressed with wrong.

7 He showed his ways to Moses, *
his works to the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is full of compassion and mercy, *
long-suffering and of great goodness.
9 He will not always chide us, *
neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, *
nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, *
so great is his mercy also toward those who fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, *
so far has he set our sins from us.
13 As a father pities his own children, *
so is the LORD merciful to those who fear him.
14 For he knows whereof we are made; *
he remembers that we are but dust.
15 The days of man are as grass; *
he flourishes as a flower of the field.
16 For as soon as the wind goes over it, it is gone, *
and its place shall know it no more.
17 But the merciful goodness of the LORD endures for ever and ever upon those who fear him, *
and his righteousness upon children’s children,
18 Even upon those who keep his covenant *
and think upon his commandments to do them.

19 The LORD has prepared his throne in heaven, *
and his kingdom rules over all.

20 O praise the LORD, you angels of his, you that excel in strength, *
you that fulfill his commandment, and hearken unto the voice of his words.
21 O praise the LORD, all you his hosts, *
you servants of his that do his pleasure.

22 O speak good of the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion; *
praise the LORD, O my soul.

“Praise the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, praise his holy Name.

(Psalm 103:1-2)

“with all that is within me”

Many are our faculties, emotions, and capacities, but God has given them all to us, and they ought all to join in chorus to his praise.

If the law of justice demanded all our heart and soul and mind for the Creator, much more may the law of gratitude put in a comprehensive claim for the homage of our whole being to the God of grace.

__ Spurgeon

“forget not all his benefits”

Memory is very treacherous about the best things; by a strange perversity, engendered by the fall, it treasures up the refuse of the past and permits priceless treasures to lie neglected, it is tenacious of grievances and holds benefits all too loosely. It needs spurring to its duty, though that duty ought to be its delight.

Observe that he calls all that is within him to remember all the Lord’s benefits. For our task our energies should be suitably called out. God’s all cannot be praised with less than our all.

__ Spurgeon

Q: When you think about God’s goodness to you, what comes to mind?

Q: Re-read Psalm 93 – Which of these benefits have you personally experienced?

Q: Can you think of a time when you trusted God’s promises despite your circumstances?

God’s dealings with us always include both “mercy and judgement” – for these we praise the Lord.

To sing of mercy must be a humble song, for mercy towards a miserable sinner is a melting word; and to sing of judgment must be a humble song, for judgment in every sense is an awful word…. “I will sing, I will sing;” I will sing on earth and I will sing in heaven; I will sing in time and I will sing in eternity.

__ Ralph Erskine.

practice godliness

Piety must begin at home. Our first duties are those within our own home.

Our happy God should be worshipped by a happy people; a cheerful spirit is in keeping with his nature, his acts, and the gratitude which we should cherish for his mercies. In every land the LORD’s goodness is seen, therefore in every land should he be praised.

He is our Lord, and therefore he is to be served; he is our gracious Lord, and therefore to be served with joy…. Singing, as it is a joyful, and at the same time a devout, exercise, should be a constant form of approach to God.

Above all, I thank you for your Son Jesus Christ; for the truth of his Word and the example of his life; for his steadfast obedience, by which he overcame temptation; for his dying, through which he conquered death; and for his rising to life again, in which I am raised to the life of your kingdom. Grant me the gift of your Spirit, that I may know Christ and make him known; and through him, at all times and in all places, may give thanks to you in all things. Amen.

Think of me, your servant, and when I shall depart, speak to my spirit these loving words: “Today you shall be with me in joy.” O Lord Jesus Christ, remember me, your servant who trusts in you, when my tongue cannot speak, when the sight of my eyes fails, and when my ears are stopped. Let my spirit always rejoice in you and be joyful about my salvation, which you, through your death, have purchased for me. Amen.

+ Hasten, O Father, the coming of your kingdom; and grant that I your servant, who now lives by faith, may with joy behold your Son at his coming in glorious majesty; even Jesus Christ, my only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.
