Sing your hearts out to Yahweh,
You good and just people!
Worship and integrity
Are inseparable twins.
Praise Yahweh with your guitar.
Make exquisite music for him
On your piano.
Yahweh’s faithful character
Can be seen in all he does.
It makes his words believable —
Always true,
Always making things right.
For Yahweh loves when relationships
Are made right,
Loving it when justice prevails.
He pours out his relentless, unstoppable love
Till it covers every inch of earth.
Yahweh’s same words
Spoke the heavens into existence.
He breathed
And an army of stars blazed to life.
He contains the oceans
In his teacup.
He tames the wild waves
In his soup bowl.
This should stop everyone everywhere,
Stunned into silent wonder at Yahweh,
Hushed into holy awe.
For all he did was speak
And nothing became something.
He gave an order
And the universe became ordered.
Yahweh toys with politicians’ plans,
He scuttles people’s schemes and dreams.
But Yahweh’s plans
Are unshakable,
His dreams keep coming true,
Touching every generation.
You’ve got it good
With Yahweh as your God.
You’re his heirs,
Inheriting all he has.
Yahweh sees everything,
Everyone.
His perfect perspective
Takes in all of humanity.
He made our hearts —
He knows what’s in them.
Having many warriors won’t win a war.
Soldiers aren’t saved by strength.
Tanks and tech are impressive —
And useless.
But Yahweh keeps watch
Over those who are on the lookout for him,
Over those whose one true hope
Is his relentless, unstoppable love.
He delivers from death.
He feeds during famine.
We have one hope,
One help:
Yahweh.
And we wait for him.
He will shield us.
He is the joy of our hearts.
We trust in his impeccable character.
So, may your love —
That relentless, unstoppable love —
Stick with us always,
For we are betting everything on you,
Our one true hope.
