For

For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.

He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who engage in treachery without cause will be disgraced.

Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.

Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.

Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.

For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.

My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.

Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.

Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.

Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.

May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.

Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.

Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!

Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!

Of David. To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.

Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.

Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.

Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.

Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.

Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.

The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.

A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.

O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.

To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.

For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.

For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.

You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.

You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.

I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.

Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.

For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.

For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.

O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol.

How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!

Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.

In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.

In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.

For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat. Selah

Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.

For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.

For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.

A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.

Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.

For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.

Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.

For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.

For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.

For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.

They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.

I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.

I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.

For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.

May those who favor my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “Exalted be the LORD who delights in His servant’s well-being.”

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.

For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.

For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender plants.

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.

For the evildoers will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.

For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.

Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed, for the LORD is holding his hand.

I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread.

For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.

Though the wicked lie in wait for the righteous, and seek to slay them,

Wait for the LORD and keep His way, and He will raise you up to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

Consider the blameless and observe the upright, for posterity awaits the man of peace.

A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me.

For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear.

For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body.

I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.

For I said, “Let them not gloat over me—those who taunt me when my foot slips.”

For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.

For the choirmaster. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”

For the choirmaster. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”

And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.

You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor. Selah

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.

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

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

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.

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.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.
