A Song of Praise for My King

A Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name.

B Bless the Lord, O my soul.
All that is within me bless His holy name.

C Come let us adore Him!
Call on His name!

D Declare His glory throughout the whole earth.
Tell the whole world of his wonderful works.

E Enter His gates with thanksgiving.
Extol Him for His excellent greatness!

F Forget not all His benefits.
He faithfully forgives and forgets all our sins.

G Great is the Lord and worthy of praise.
Glory in His holy name.

H Holy! Holy! Holy is the Lord Almighty!
Who was and is and is to come.

I I will sing praise to my great God and King.
I will sing and make music in my heart.

J Joyful, Joyful I adore You,
God of Glory, Lord of Love.

K Know that the Lord is God.
It is He who made us, and we are His.

L Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
Let the heavens rejoice, let the whole earth be glad;
Let everyone say, “The Lord reigns!”

M Maker of heaven and earth –
Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and glory are in His sanctuary.

N Not to me O Lord, not to me,
But to Your name be the glory because of You love and faithfulness.

O Our God is a God who saves!
O Lord My God, how Great thou art!

P Praise be to the Lord;
To God our Savior who daily bears our burdens.

Q Quickly, I’ll tell the Good News.
My Lord lives and rules and reigns from heaven on high.

R Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous.
Remember the wonders He has done.

S Shout for joy to the Lord all the earth!
Shout for joy before the Lord , the King.

T To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb,
Be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever.

U Unto You I sing, O Lord;
The One who rides across the ancient heavens,
Whose mighty voice thunders from the sky.
God is awesome in His sanctuary.

V Victory is Yours, O Lord.
You have made me glad with the joy of Your presence.

W Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
To receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength,
And glory and honor and praise.

X Exalt the Lord our God and worship at His holy mountain.
Be exalted, O Lord in Your strength;
We will sing and praise Your might.

Y Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
You are my God and I will give You thanks forever and ever.

Z Zion hears and rejoices!
For You O Lord, are the Most High over all the earth,
You are exalted far above the gods.

A Song of Praise For My King was written by reading the Psalms and making a list from A-Z of various ways the psalmist praised the Lord. It follows the pattern of the psalmist in Psalm 119 where each of 22 sections begins with a different letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Try writing your own song of praise and adoration. I can guarantee it will put a smile on your face, a song in your heart and a spring in your step!
