Restore us, O God, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

Restore us, O God of Hosts, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

Let Your hand be upon the man at Your right hand, on the son of man You have raised up for Yourself.

Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?

Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I call to You all day long.

Show me a sign of Your goodness, that my enemies may see and be ashamed; for You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

The cursing that he loved, may it fall on him; the blessing in which he refused to delight, may it be far from him.

May it be like a robe wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him.

May this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers, to those who speak evil against me.

Though they curse, You will bless. When they rise up, they will be put to shame, but Your servant will rejoice.

Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.

May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

The LORD is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Then I would not be ashamed when I consider all Your commandments.

I cling to Your testimonies, O LORD; let me not be put to shame.

I will speak of Your testimonies before kings, and I will not be ashamed.

I have sought Your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to Your promise.

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

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

But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.

Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.

For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.

…that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
