But everyone 

who calls on the name of the LORD

will be saved…

Joel 2:32

He holds in his hands the depths of the earth

and the mightiest mountains.

The sea belongs to him,

for he made it.

His hands formed the dry land, 

too.

Come,

let us worship and bow down.

Let us kneel before the LORD our maker,

for he is our God.

We are the people he watches over,

the flock under his care.

If only you would listen to his voice today!

Psalm 95:4-7

Great is the LORD!

He is most worthy of praise!

He is to be feared above all gods.

The gods of other nations are mere idols,

but the LORD made the heavens!

Honor and majesty surround him;

strength and beauty fill his sanctuary.

Psalm 96:4-6

O LORD,

come back to us!

How long will you delay?

Take pity on your servants!

Psalm 90:13

Lord,

through all the generations

you have been our home!

Before the mountains were born,

before you gave birth to the earth and the world,

from beginning to end,

you are God. 

Seventy years are given to us!

Some even live to eighty.

but even the best years are filled with pain and trouble;

soon they disappear,

and we fly away.

Teach us to realize the brevity of life,

so that we may grow in wisdom.

Psalm 90:1-2, 10, 12

(Switzerland)

A single day in your courts

is better than a thousand anywhere else!

I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God

than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.

For the LORD God is our sun and our shield.

He gives us grace and glory.

The LORD will withhold no good thing

from those who do what is right.

O LORD of Heaven’s Armies,

what joy for those who trust in you.

Psalm 84:10-12

(Zermatt, Switzerland)

It is God alone who judges;

he decides who will rise and who will fall.

Psalm 75:7

(The Matterhorn)

All heaven will praise your great wonders,

LORD;

myriads of angels 

will praise you for your faithfulness.

For who in all of heaven 

can compare with the LORD?

What mightiest angel is anything like the LORD?

The highest angelic powers 

stand in awe of God

He is far more awesome 

than all who surround his throne.

Psalm 89:5-7

On the holy mountain

stands the city founded by the LORD.

He loves the city of Jerusalem

more than any other city in Israel.

O city of God,

what glorious things are said of you!

Psalm 87:1-3

(St Mauritius Church, Zermatt, Switzerland)

Teach me your ways,

O LORD,

that I may live according to your truth!

Grant me purity of heart,

so that I may honor you.

With all my heart I will praise you,

O Lord my God.

I will give glory to your name forever,

for your love for me is very great.

You have rescued me from the depths of death.

Psalm 86:11-13
