All creatures of our God and King

Psalms 84 To the chief Musician upon Gittith,A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD:

my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house,

and the swallow a nest for herself,

where she may lay her young, even thine altars,

O LORD of hosts, my king, and my God.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:

they will be still praising thee. SELAH.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;

in whose heart are the ways of them.

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well;

the rain also filleth the pools.

They go from strength to strength,

every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer:

give ear, O God of Jacob. SELAH.

Behold, O God our shield,

and look upon the face of thine anointed.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,

than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield:

for the LORD will give grace and glory:

no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

O LORD of hosts,

blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Psalms 63 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

O God, thou art my God;

early will I seek thee:

my soul thirsteth for thee,

my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land,

where no water is;

To see thy power and thy glory,

so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life,

my lips shall praise thee.

Thus will I bless thee while I live:

I will lift up my hands in thy name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;

and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

When I remember thee upon my bed,

and meditate on thee in the night watches.

Because thou hast been my help,

therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

My soul followeth hard after thee:

thy right hand upholdeth me.

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it,

shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

They shall fall by the sword:

they shall be a portion for foxes.

But the King shall rejoice in God;

every one that sweareth by him shall glory:

but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Psalms 23 A Psalm of David

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul:

he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil:

for thou art with me;

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

thou anointest my head with oil ;

my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
