Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.

A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.

Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.

The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.

I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.

Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
