   Psalms of Haven Noahide Fellowship

   Psalms of Haven Noahide Fellowship   
      
   A Psalm of Daniel   
   Psalm 1   
      
   Yahweh, the Lord, is the Centre of all that is.   
   He is the Supreme Power, the Omnipotent One,   
   Full of Glory and Majesty, Eternal in Sovereignty.   
      
   Yahweh is gracious to us mere mortals,   
   Granting us blessings and peace,   
   Giving prosperity to the works of our hands.   
      
   Yahweh watches over those who call on his name.   
   He watches and blesses those who repent of sin,   
   And Grants his grace to the humble of heart.   
      
   Yahweh is a trustworthy foundation.   
   Yes, in God himself I place my trust,   
   Forsaking the strength of my own hands,   
   Forsaking the strength of men, whose fidelity is fleeting.   
      
      
   A Psalm of Daniel   
   Psalm 2   
      
   How the heart of man can choose a crooked path.   
   How the heart of man can choose a crooked way.   
   Oh, heavenly father, that your grace would be upon us all,   
   Leading us in the right way, leading us against our own evil inclinations.   
      
   Yahweh, enthroned in heaven, looks down upon the children of men.   
   He knows their heart, from their youth he has known them,   
   Caught up in their evil ways, caught up in their malicious intent.   
   Oh Yahweh, how great your grace is. Oh Yahweh, how superlative your mercy.   
      
   You spoke with our father Noah.   
   You spoke with him and called him out of a perverse generation.   
   For mankind was wicked in your eyes, evil from the days of their youth.   
   And through Noah you rebirthed mankind, saved from the deluge of the flood.   
      
   Majestic Lord of Glory, redeem me I pray.   
   Hear my prayer and rescue me from the darkness of my own heart.   
   For only in thy goodness can the gift of eternal life be realized.   
   Only in thy goodness can the gift of forever have hope.   
      
      
   A Psalm of Daniel   
   Psalm 3   
      
   God   
   Can we not be so hypocritical, unfair and double-minded   
   Can we not be so duplicitous, fork-tongued and unfaithful   
   Can we not pretend to be paragons of virtue yet find shame in our hearts   
   Shame at betraying ones we claim to love   
      
   Lord   
   Let not my boasts be great, of words I can not live up to   
   Let me not say of my virtues qualities which I later betray as lacking   
   Let me be truthful in how much I can truly commit to and foreswear vain oaths   
   Guide me to be faithful   
      
   Father   
   Show me the way of holiness which will not be questioned as shallow   
   Help me to grow up maturely, yet not reach for heights I later tumble from   
   Give me grace and mercy and remind others I am only human, not God himself   
   Forgive me for my shortcomings   
      
   Yahweh   
   I am only human. I can not be more than what I am. And I am so complex   
   That I don’t even understand myself half of the time.   
   But you, Oh Lord, know all the ways of humans and the choices of the heart.   
   Please, if you will in your mercy answer my prayer, give me the gift of wisdom   
   To love others in a manner which will last eternally and not be a vain oath of   
   Allegiance soon forgotten.   
   Alleluia   
      
      
   A Psalm of Daniel   
   Psalm 4   
      
   Let my soul rest in the calmness of nature,    
   the calmness of God’s creation.   
      
   Let my soul slumber and be at peace with the    
   simplicity of the song of the songbird   
   and the chirping of the sparrow.   
      
   Let the buzzing of the bees bring joy to me,    
   even to the days of my age and let   
   the sound of the sheep at pasture and the joy of the    
   newborn babe be always pleasant in my heart.   
      
   Let the sight of a spider’s web fill me with mystery,   
   and let the early morning mist always fill me with   
   happiness and aliven me to the new day.   
      
   Let the rushing geyser be a source of fascination,   
   and let me fear in the presence of the tornado and   
   be awestruck by the power of the lightning.   
      
   Let the gentle flow of the stream soothe my soul,   
   and let the thunderous waves entertain my thirst   
   for adventure.   
      
   Lord God Almighty, I thank you for the wonders   
   of creation, which give joy and happiness to my   
   life each and every day. This world is a wonderful   
   and marvellous world, and all the children of Noah   
   thank you for your great kindness in creating it   
   For us.   
      
   We are your people, Almighty God, and the servants   
   of your covenant. And let the sign of the Covenant,   
   the ‘Rainbow’, one of the greatest signs of nature,    
   always remind us of the beauty and wonder that comes   
   forth from the heart of the Almighty.   
   Alleluia   
      
      
   A Psalm of Daniel   
   Psalm 5   
      
   Lord God - You are the solace of my heart’s anxiety.   
   You are the peace in the storms of life which remains   
   Faithful and ever unchanging. You are the strength   
   In my weaknesses and the power of my right hand   
   In all that I say and do. Lord, you are God, and even   
   In my wrongdoing my heart still remembers the graces   
   And love you have shown me.   
      
   Lord God – From generation to generation mankind   
   Searches out the way of truth. For so many finding   
   God is not easy, but you have always been there, waiting   
   To be found. You love us, children of Adam and Eve,   
   Children of Enoch, children of Noah. You love us and   
   Teach us the right way through the teachings of our   
   Fathers. Lord, I pray, remain faithful to the heart which   
   Wants truth above all else, and remember the struggle   
   We have all gone through in finding our salvation.   
      
   Lord God – Remember our fathers who have gone before   
   Us, and our mothers who bore and fed us. Remember forever   
   Those who have struggled to build our wonderful world, and   
   The many sacrifices they have made. I pray and ask of you,   
   Eternal God, prepare a home of eternal joy and life as reward   
   For their struggle, and share with them the fruits of their   
   Labours and the joy and consolation their hearts truly desire.   
   Forget not the children of Noah who, even those who have   
   Not known you or understood your ways, still tried in their hearts   
   To live good and decent lives. Forget them not in your mercy   
   I do pray Lord God Almighty, and prepare a home of eternal   
   Blessing for each and every one of them.   
      
   Lord God – The children of Noah praise your name. We lift   
   Up the name of Yahweh and declare that he is God and that   
   There is no other. Heavenly Father, we will serve you for   
   All eternity, building a Haven of Salvation in your name, a   
   Haven of love, peace and prosperity, in true service to your   
   Eternal Glory. We will feed the hungry, nurse the sick and   
   Wounded, give homes to the homeless, and give peace and   
   Love to the broken of heart. We will care for all as you have   
   Cared for us, and we pray watch over us eternally for we are   
   The sheep of your eternal pasture, the children of mankind,   
   And we need you in all our weaknesses and all our struggles.   
   Alleluia
