In

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.

Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.

Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

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

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.

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

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.

Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion

…to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

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

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

May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.

My soul boasts in the LORD; let the oppressed hear and rejoice.

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days?

The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.

The LORD redeems His servants, and none who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.

Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.

Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.

But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.

Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.

Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause, nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.

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

Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”

May those who gloat in my distress be ashamed and confounded; may those who exalt themselves over me be clothed in shame and reproach.

May those who gloat in my distress be ashamed and confounded; may those who exalt themselves over me be clothed in shame and reproach.

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.

How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!

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

Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will do it.

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.

But the meek will inherit the land and delight in abundant prosperity.

In the time of evil they will not be ashamed, and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.

In the time of evil they will not be ashamed, and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.

The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD who takes delight in his journey.

The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.

The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not falter.

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

…the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned under judgment.

The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their stronghold in time of trouble.

The LORD helps and delivers them; He rescues and saves them from the wicked, because they take refuge in Him.

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

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

There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

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

I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.

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

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

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

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.

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”

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.

The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to give him over to the will of his foes.

My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.

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

In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.

In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.

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

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.

Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.

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?

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 the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.

For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.

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

In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever. Selah

But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.

Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.

In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.

In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.

All glorious is the princess in her chamber; her gown is embroidered with gold.

In colorful garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions are brought before you.

They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king.

For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

…though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge. Selah

He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.

A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.

Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.

God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.

They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.

Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.

As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever. Selah

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

They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.

They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.
