THE "I WILLS”

Psalm 16: 8

He is ever present with me; at all times He goes before me.  I will not live in fear or abandon my calling because He stands at my right hand. 

Psalm 57:7-9 

My heart is ready, O God; my heart is ready, And I will sing!  Yes, I will sing praise!  Wake up, my glory!  Wake up, harp and lyre; I will stir the sleepy dawn with praise!  I will offer You my thanks, I Lord, before the nations of the world; I will sing of Your greatness no matter where I am.  

Psalm 59: 16-17 

But me?  I will sing of Your strength.  I will awake with the sun to sing of Your loving mercy Because in my most troubled hour, You defended me.  You were my shelter.  I will lift my voice to sing Your praise, O my Strength--for you came to my defense.  

Psalm 72:22-23

I will praise You with music played on a harp because You have been faithful, O my God.  I will sing praises to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.  I will shout for joy as I sing Your praises; my soul will celebrate because You have rescued me.  

Psalm 75:9

But I will tell of His great deeds forever.  I will sing praises to Jacob’s True God. 

Psalm 89:1

I will sing of Your unfailing love, Eternal One, forever.  I will speak of your faithfulness to all generations.  

Psalm 101:1

I will sing of God’s unsparing love and justice; to You O Eternal One, I will sing praises. 

Psalm 109: 30-31

I will continually give thanks to the Eternal with the praises of my mouth; I will praise Him in the company of many.  For He always stands in support of the afflicted and needy to rescue their souls from those who judge and condemn them.  

Psalm 145:1-5

I will lift my praise above everything to You, my God and King!  I will continually bless Your name forever and always.  My praise will never cease-- I will praise You every day; I will lift up Your name forever.  The Eternal is great and deserves endless praise; His greatness knows no limit, recognizes no boundary.  No one can measure or comprehend His magnificence.  One generation after another will celebrate Your great works; they will pass on the story of Your powerful acts to their children.  Your majesty and glorious splendor have captivated me; I will meditate on Your wonders, sing songs of Your worth. 

Psalm 146:1-2

Praise the Eternal! Praise the Eternal, O my soul; I will praise the Eternal for as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God as long as breath fills my lungs and blood flows through my veins.
