A RUSHING TORRENT
Lord, be gracious to us
We long for you
Be our strength every morning
Our salvation in time of distress
See, the Name of the Lord comes from afar
With burning anger and dense clouds of smoke
His lips are full of wrath
And his tongue is a consuming fire
And you will sing
As on the night you celebrate
Your hearts will rejoice
As when people playing pipes go up
To the mountain of the Lord
To the Rock of Israel
The Lord will cause
People to hear
His majestic voice
His breath is like a rushing torrent
Rising up to the neck
He will make the nations see his arm coming down
And you will sing
As on the night you celebrate
Your hearts will rejoice
As when people playing pipes go up
To the mountain of the Lord
To the Rock of Israel
The Lord will cause
People to hear
His majestic voice
The oppressor will come to an end
And destruction will cease
The aggressor will vanish from the land
In love a throne will be established
In faithfulness a man will sit on it
One from the house of David
One who in judging seeks justice
And speeds the cause of righteousness
Righteousness will be his belt
And faithfulness the sash around his waist
Lord, be gracious to us
We long for you
See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power
And he rules with a mighty arm
See, his reward is with him
And his recompense accompanies him
And you will sing
As on the night you celebrate
Your hearts will rejoice
As when people playing pipes go up
To the mountain of the Lord
To the Rock of Israel
The Lord will cause
People to hear
His majestic voice

A PLACE FOR OWLS
“I will rise up against them”
Declares the Lord Almighty
“I will wipe out Babylon’s name and survivors”
Declares the Lord
“I will turn her into a place for owls
And into swampland”
„I will sweep her with the
Broom of destruction”
Declares the Lord Almighty
“Surely, as I have planned, so it will be
And as I have purposed, so it will happen
The yoke will be taken from my people
And the burden removed from their shoulders”
This is the plan determined
For the whole world
This is the hand stretched out
Over all nations
For the Lord Almighty has purposed
And who can thwart him
His hand is stretched out
And who can turn it back
“Surely, as I have planned, so it will be
And as I have purposed, so it will happen
The yoke will be taken from my people
And the burden removed from their shoulders”
The voice of the Lord will shatter the enemy
With his rod he will strike them down
Every stroke he lays on them
With his punishing club
Will be to the music
Of timbrels and harps
As he fights them in battle
With the blows of his arm
Topheth has long been prepared
It has been made ready for the king
Its fire pit has been made deep and wide
With an abundance of fire and wood
The breath of the Lord
Like a stream of burning sulfur
Sets it ablaze
“I will rise up against them”
Declares the Lord Almighty
“I will wipe out Babylon’s name and survivors”
Declares the Lord

Dust On The Scales

DUST ON THE SCALES
A voice of one calling in the wilderness:
Prepare the way for the Lord
Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God
Every valley shall be raised up
Every mountain and hill made low
The rough ground shall become level
The rugged places a plain
And the glory of the Lord
Will be revealed
And all people
Will see it together
He tends his flock like a shepherd
He gathers the lambs in his arms
And carries them close to his heart
He gently leads those that have young
Who has measured the waters
In the hollow of his hand
Or with the breadth of his hand
Marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket
Or weighed the mountains on the scales
And the hills in a balance?
Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord
Or instruct the Lord as his counselor?
Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him
And who taught him the right way?
Surely the nations are like a drop
In a bucket
They are regarded as dust on the scales
He weighs the islands as though they were fine dust
Before him all the nations are as nothing
They are regarded by him as less than nothing
With whom, then, will you compare God?
To what image will you liken him?

Pools of Water

POOLS OF WATER
The poor and needy search for water, but there is none
Their tongues are parched with thirst
But I the Lord will answer them
I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them
I will make rivers flow on barren heights
And springs within the valleys
I will turn the desert into pools of water
And the parched ground into springs
So that people may see and know
May consider and understand
That the hand of the Lord has done this
That the Holy One of Israel has created it

The Way of Holiness

THE WAY OF HOLINESS
Strengthen the feeble hands
Steady the knees that give way
Say to those with fearful hearts
“Be strong, do not fear; your God will come
He will come to save you.”
Then will the eyes of the blind be opened
And the ears of the deaf
Unstopped
Strengthen the feeble hands
Steady the knees that give way
Say to those with fearful hearts
“Be strong, do not fear; your God will come
He will come to save you.”
Then will the eyes of the blind be opened
And the ears of the deaf
Unstopped
Then will the lame leap like a deer
And the mute tongue shout for joy
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
And streams in the desert
The burning sand will become a pool
The thirsty ground bubbling springs
In the haunts where jackals once lay
Grass and reeds and papyrus will grow
And a highway will be there
It will be called the Way of Holiness
It will be for those who walk on that Way
The unclean will not journey on it
Wicked fools won’t go about on it
No lion will be there
Nor any ravenous beast
They won’t be found there
But only the redeemed
Will walk there
And those the Lord has rescued will return
They will enter Zion with singing
Strengthen the feeble hands
Steady the knees that give way
Say to those with fearful hearts
“Be strong, do not fear; your God will come”
Everlasting joy will crown their heads
Gladness and joy will overtake them
And sorrow and sighing will flee away
And a highway will be there
It will be called the Way of Holiness
It will be for those who walk on that Way
The unclean will not journey on it
Wicked fools will not go about on it
No lion will be there
Nor any ravenous beast
They will not be found there
But only the redeemed
Will walk there
And those the Lord has rescued will return
They will enter Zion with singing

My Servant
04:14
|

MY SERVANT
Here is my servant, whom I uphold
My chosen one in whom I delight
I will put my Spirit on him
And he will bring justice to the nations
He will not shout or cry out
Or raise his voice in the streets
A bruised reed he will not break
And a smoldering wick he will not snuff out
I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness
I will take hold of your hand
I will keep you and will make you a covenant for the people
And a light for the Gentiles
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice
He will not falter or be discouraged
Till he establishes justice on earth
In his teaching the islands will put their hope
I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness
To open eyes that are blind
To free captives from prison
And to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness
This is what God the Lord says
The Creator of the heavens
(Who stretches them out)
Who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it
Who gives breath and life to its people
I am the Lord; that is my name!
I will not yield my glory to another
Or my praise
To idols
See, the former things have taken place
And new things I declare
Before they spring into being
I announce them to you
Sing to the Lord a new song
His praise from the ends of the earth
You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it
You islands, and all who live in them
Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices
Let the settlements rejoice
Let the people sing for joy, let them shout from the mountaintops
Let them give glory to the Lord

The Battle Cry

THE BATTLE CRY
See, a king will reign in righteousness
And rulers will rule with justice
Each one will be like a shelter from the wind
And a refuge from the storm
Like streams of water in the desert
And the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land
Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed
And the ears of those who hear will listen
The fearful heart will know and understand
And the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear
No longer will the fool be called noble
Nor the scoundrel be highly respected
For fools speak folly
Their hearts are bent on evil
They practice ungodliness
And spread error concerning the Lord
The hungry they leave empty
And from the thirsty they withhold water
Scoundrels use wicked methods
They make up evil schemes
To destroy the poor with lies
Even when the plea of the needy is just
But the noble make noble plans
And by noble deeds they stand
The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high
He will fill Zion with his justice and righteousness
He will be the sure foundation for your times
A rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge
The Lord will march out like a champion
Like a warrior he will stir up his zeal
With a shout he will raise the battle cry
And will triumph over his enemies
The desert and the parched land will be glad
The wilderness will rejoice and blossom
Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom
It will rejoice greatly and shout for joy

FROM ANCIENT DAYS
Do not fear
For I have redeemed you
I have summoned you by name
You are mine
When you pass through the waters
I will be with you
And when you pass
Through the rivers
They will not sweep
Over you
When you walk
Through the fire
You will not be burned
The flames won’t set you ablaze
For I am the Lord your God
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior
You are precious and honored in my sight
And I love you
I, even I, am the Lord
And apart from me there is no savior
I have revealed and saved and proclaimed
I, and not some foreign god among you
Do not be afraid
For I am with you
I am God
From ancient days
I am he
No one can deliver out of my hand
I am the Lord
Your Holy One
Israel’s Creator
Your King
Before me
No god was formed
Nor will there be one
After me
For I am the Lord your God
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior
You are precious and honored in my sight
And I love you
I, even I, am the Lord
And apart from me there is no savior
I have revealed and saved and proclaimed
I, and not some foreign god among you
When I act, who can reverse it?
Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
And streams in the wasteland
To give drink to my people, my chosen
The people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise
I am the first and I am the last
Apart from me there is no God
