1. ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH

(Instrumental)


2. CRIES OF ANGUISH

Blessed is the one who does not walk
In step with the wicked
Or stand in the way that sinners take
Or sit in the company of mockers

Blessed is the one whose delight is
In the law of the Lord
And who meditates on his law
Day and night

That person is like a tree
Planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in season
And whose leaf does not wither

Not so the wicked
They are like chaff
That the wind blows away
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment

For the Lord watches
Over the way of the righteous
But the way of the wicked
Leads to destruction

The wicked are like chaff
That the wind blows away
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous


3. INTO YOUR HANDS

In you, Lord, I have taken refuge
Let me never be put to shame
Deliver me in your righteousness
Turn your ear to me

Come quickly to my rescue
Be my rock of refuge
A strong fortress to save me
Since you are my rock and my fortress

For the sake of your name lead and guide me
Keep me free from the trap that is set for me
For you are my refuge
Into your hands I commit my spirit

Deliver me, Lord, my faithful God
Deliver me, Lord, my faithful God

I hate those who cling to worthless idols
As for me, I trust in the Lord
I will be glad and rejoice in your love
For you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul

You have not given me into the hands of the enemy
But have set my feet in a spacious place
Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress
My eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief

My life is consumed by anguish
And my years by groaning
My strength fails because of my affliction
And my bones grow weak

Deliver me, Lord, my faithful God


4. THE NIGHT WILL SHINE

You have searched me, Lord and you know me
You know when I sit and when I rise
You perceive my thoughts from afar
You are familiar with all my ways

Where can I go
From your Spirit?
Where can I flee
From your presence?

Search me, God
And know my heart
Test me and know
My anxious thoughts

For you created
My inmost being
You knit me together
In my mother’s womb

If I go up to the heavens, you are there
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea

Even there your hand
Will guide me
Your right hand
Will hold me fast

Before a word
Is on my tongue
You, Lord
Know it completely

Even the darkness
Will not be dark to you
The night will shine like the day
For darkness is as light to you


5. RISE ON THE WINGS OF THE DAWN

(Instrumental)


6. PLEASE MY CAUSE

Vindicate
Me, my God
Plead my cause
Rescue me

Vindicate
Me, my God
Plead my cause
Rescue me

You are God my stronghold
Why have you rejected me?
Why must I go about mourning
Oppressed by the enemy?

Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God
For I will yet praise him

Plead my cause
Against an
Unfaithful
Nation

Rescue me
From those who are
Deceitful
And wicked

You are God my stronghold
Why have you rejected me?
Why must I go about mourning
Oppressed by the enemy?

Send me your light and your faithful care
Let them lead me
Let them bring me to the place
Where you dwell

Then I will go to the altar of God
To God
My joy and my delight
I will praise you

Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God
For I will yet praise him


7. MY SOUL THIRSTS

As the deer pants for streams of water
So my soul pants for you, my God
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God
When can I go and meet with God?

My tears have been my food day and night
While people say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
These things I remember as I pour out my soul
How I used to go to the house of God among the festive throng

Why, my soul, are you downcast, why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God for I will yet praise him
My soul is downcast within me, therefore I’ll remember you
My Savior and my God

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls
All your waves and breakers have swept over me
By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me
A prayer to the God of my life.

I say to God my Rock, “Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?”
My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me
Saying to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

Why, my soul, are you downcast, why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God for I will yet praise him
My soul is downcast within me, therefore I’ll remember you
My Savior and my God
