Psalm 75
My Lord is a wise Lord, wisdom born in the core, as surely as the heart envisions spring;
~~my King is a knowing King, knowledge risen from the root, as surely as the soul knows its way home.
~~my King is a knowing King, knowledge risen from the root, as surely as the soul knows its way home.

Psalm (my commander) 90
Be my commander, Lord;
~~be my commander and chief.
Men give orders,
~~but you give order to the world.
Men range mountains,
~~but you make the mountains to range.
Man’s might, with all his war, is in your power;
~~with all your power to do as you might, Lord, hear my prayer:
free the captives of the world;
~~free a world captive to war.
~~be my commander and chief.
Men give orders,
~~but you give order to the world.
Men range mountains,
~~but you make the mountains to range.
Man’s might, with all his war, is in your power;
~~with all your power to do as you might, Lord, hear my prayer:
free the captives of the world;
~~free a world captive to war.

Psalm (as...yet) 89
As the frail new birth protests, forced from warm waters into the sting of the light;
~~yet the enlightened spirit proclaims rebirth, strong on the shore, warmed by the word of the Lord.
~~yet the enlightened spirit proclaims rebirth, strong on the shore, warmed by the word of the Lord.

Psalm (no other) 88
No fortress of stone nor palace of gold will still my soul;
~~not a fortress in mountain mist or palace of sun in a sapphire sky will still my ceaseless soul.
Nothing in my honor named on a banner,
~~not anything known of my renown raised on a towering standard;
None such as mother of pearl,
~~no one so much as queen of hearts;
Never a sword of glory,
~~not ever a saber of greatness in feat or threat;
Neither wellspring of healing nor fountain of youth,
~~not either diamond mine or lion’s pride, not even royal robe or cloak or warm-blooded coat;
Nor silver spoon and noble land,
~~neither any table spread with milk and honey;
Naught but God alone will fill the whole of my soul;
~~none ought but God, for no other will fill my soul.
~~not a fortress in mountain mist or palace of sun in a sapphire sky will still my ceaseless soul.
Nothing in my honor named on a banner,
~~not anything known of my renown raised on a towering standard;
None such as mother of pearl,
~~no one so much as queen of hearts;
Never a sword of glory,
~~not ever a saber of greatness in feat or threat;
Neither wellspring of healing nor fountain of youth,
~~not either diamond mine or lion’s pride, not even royal robe or cloak or warm-blooded coat;
Nor silver spoon and noble land,
~~neither any table spread with milk and honey;
Naught but God alone will fill the whole of my soul;
~~none ought but God, for no other will fill my soul.
