For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons of men.

The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.

How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

For the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.

You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.

You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.

Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings

…like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush.

…from such men, O LORD, by Your hand—from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.

As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for His help reached His ears.

They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.

He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.

By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly.

My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.

He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.

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

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

…in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.

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.

He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.

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

I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,

…to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.

…in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.

One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness.

The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”

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

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

But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”

My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.

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!

You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.

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