Psalter:
Psalm 1 (Elvey in G)

1 Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel | of the | wicked, *
nor lingered in the way of sinners,
nor | sat in the | seats of the | scornful!

2 Their delight is in the | law of the | LORD, *
and they meditate on his | law | day and | night.

3 They are like trees planted by streams of water,
bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that | do not | wither; *
-- | everything they | do shall | prosper.

4 It is not | so with the |wicked; *
they are like |chaff which the | wind blows a- | way.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand upright when | judgment | comes, *
nor the | sinner in the | council of the | righteous.

6 For the LORD knows the | way of the | righteous, *
but the |way of the | wicked is |doomed.

Psalm 4 (S-178 Stephen Elvey in G)

1 Answer me when I call, O God, de-|fender of my| cause; *
you set me free when I am hard-pressed;
have mercy on |me and|hear my|prayer.


2 "You mortals, how long will you dis-|honor my |glory; *
how long will you worship dumb idols
and |run after| false|gods?"

3 Know that the LORD does |wonders for the |faithful; *
when I call upon the | LORD,| he will | hear me.

4 Tremble, then, and |do not | sin; *
speak to your heart in | silence up- |on your | bed.

5 Offer the ap-|pointed|sacrifices *
and | put your |trust in the | LORD.

6 Many are saying,
"Oh, that we might see | better | times!" *
Lift up the light of your |countenance up-|on us, O | LORD.

7 You have put | gladness in my | heart, *
more than when grain and | wine and |oil in-|crease.

8 I lie down in peace; at once I | fall a- | sleep; *
for only you, LORD, |make me | dwell in | safety.
