I

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.

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.

Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—it is written about me in the scroll:

Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—it is written about me in the scroll:

Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—it is written about me in the scroll:

I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

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.

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.

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.

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

I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”

I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”

Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

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

By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

I say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”

I say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”

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.

For You are the God of my refuge. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.

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.

For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

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

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

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

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

I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle with the harp:

I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle with the harp:

Why should I fear in times of trouble, when wicked usurpers surround me?

“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.

“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 have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens,

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.

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

Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

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

You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.

You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.

You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.

Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:

He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rightly orders his way, I will show the salvation of God.”

For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.

Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.

For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.

I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name—for it is good—in the presence of Your saints.

I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name—for it is good—in the presence of Your saints.

Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught

I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.

I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.

I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.

How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. Selah

How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. Selah

I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”

O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.

For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.

For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.

But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.

Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.

In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.

Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.

In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,

In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,

…in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

…in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.

For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.

I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.

My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts—with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.

Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
