Psalms
1To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;2in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.3No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.4Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths;5guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.6Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.7Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD.8Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.9He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.10All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant.11For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.12Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.13He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.14The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.15My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.16Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.17The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish.18Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.19See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me!20Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.21May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you.22Redeem Israel, O God, from all their troubles!
1Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.2Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;3for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.4I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I consort with hypocrites;5I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.6I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, O LORD,7proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.8I love the house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells.9Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men,10in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.11But I lead a blameless life; redeem me and be merciful to me.12My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the LORD.
1The LORD is my light and my salvation- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid?2When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.3Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.4One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.5For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.6Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.7Hear my voice when I call, O LORD; be merciful to me and answer me.8My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek.9Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior.10Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.11Teach me your way, O LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.12Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.13I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.14Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.
1To you I call, O LORD my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone down to the pit.2Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.3Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts.4Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back upon them what they deserve.5Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.6Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.8The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.9Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.
1Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.2Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.3The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.4The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.5The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.6He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.7The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning.8The voice of the LORD shakes the desert; the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.9The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, "Glory!"10The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.11The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.
1I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.2O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.3O LORD, you brought me up from the grave; you spared me from going down into the pit.4Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name.5For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.6When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken."7O LORD, when you favored me, you made my mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.8To you, O LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy:9"What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?10Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help."11You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,12that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.
