And

Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may again be cheered before I depart and am no more.”

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us—none can compare to You—if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.

Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us—none can compare to You—if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.

Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.

Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.

I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.

For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”

But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to give him over to the will of his foes.

The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to give him over to the will of his foes.

The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.

My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”

My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.

But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.

In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.

My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?

My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”

These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the festive procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.

O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon—even from Mount Mizar.

Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.

The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, and at night His song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.

Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain and to the place where You dwell.

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.

With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.

For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever. Selah

But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.

You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.

You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.

All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,

…at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.

Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?

Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?

Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.

In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.

Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.

All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.

All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.

Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house,

Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house,

…and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.

They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king.

I will commemorate your name through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.

For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

…though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge. Selah

…though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge. Selah

He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.

“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”

He subdues nations beneath us, and peoples under our feet.

A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.

They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.

For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.

…both low and high, rich and poor alike.

…both low and high, rich and poor alike.

My mouth will impart wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will bring understanding.

They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.

For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,

…that he should live on forever and not see decay.

For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.

For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.

For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.

This is the fate of the foolish and their followers who endorse their sayings. Selah

Like sheep they are destined for Sheol. Death will be their shepherd. The upright will rule them in the morning, and their form will decay in Sheol, far from their lofty abode.

Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul—and men praise you when you prosper—

A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.

Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.

Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.

He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:

And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge. Selah

“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.

“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.

I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine.

If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.

Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.

Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”

To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?

For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.

When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.

You unleash your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.
