(A song for worship.)

Trusting the Lord in Times of Trouble

From a sea of troubles
    I cry out to you, Lord.
Won't you please listen
    as I beg for mercy?

If you kept record of our sins,
    no one could last long.
But you forgive us,
    and so we will worship you.

With all my heart,
I am waiting, Lord, for you!
    I trust your promises.
I wait for you more eagerly
than a soldier on guard duty
    waits for the dawn.
Yes, I wait more eagerly
than a soldier on guard duty
    waits for the dawn.

Israel, trust the Lord!
God is always merciful
    and has the power to save you.
(A) Israel, the Lord will save you
    from all your sins.

(A song by David for worship.)

Trust the Lord!

I am not conceited, Lord,
and I don't waste my time
    on impossible schemes.
But I have learned to feel safe
    and satisfied,
like a young child
    in its mother's arms.

People of Israel,
you must trust the Lord
    now and forever.

The Lord Is Always with His People

Our Lord, don't forget David
    and how he suffered.
Mighty God of Jacob,
    remember how he promised:
“I won't go home
or crawl into bed
    or close my eyelids,
until I find a home for you,
the mighty Lord God of Jacob.”

(B) When we were in Ephrath,
we heard that the sacred chest
    was somewhere near Jaar.
Then we said, “Let's go
to the throne of the Lord
    and worship at his feet.”

Come to your new home, Lord,
you and the sacred chest
    with all its power.
Let victory be like robes
    for the priests;
let your faithful people
    celebrate and shout.
10 David is your chosen one,
    so don't reject him.
11 (C) You made a solemn promise
    to David, when you said,
“I, the Lord, promise
that someone in your family
    will always be king.
12 If they keep our agreement
    and follow my teachings,
then someone in your family
    will rule forever.”

13 You have gladly chosen Zion
    as your home, our Lord.
14 You said, “This is my home!
    I will live here forever.
15 I will bless Zion with food,
and even the poor will eat
    until they are full.
16 Victory will be like robes
    for the priests,
and its faithful people
    will celebrate and shout.
17 (D) I will give mighty power
    to the kingdom of David.
Each of my chosen kings
will shine like a lamp
18     and wear a sparkling crown.
But I will disgrace
    their enemies.”
