But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.

From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.

For I have said, “Loving devotion is built up forever; in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness.”

The heavens praise Your wonders, O LORD—Your faithfulness as well—in the assembly of the holy ones.

For who in the skies can compare with the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD?

In the council of the holy ones, God is greatly feared, and awesome above all who surround Him.

Blessed are those who know the joyful sound, who walk, O LORD, in the light of Your presence.

They rejoice in Your name all day long, and in Your righteousness they exult.

They rejoice in Your name all day long, and in Your righteousness they exult.

You once spoke in a vision; to Your godly ones You said, “I have bestowed help on a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgments,

…like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.” Selah

You have renounced the covenant with Your servant and sullied his crown in the dust.

You have bent the edge of his sword and have not sustained him in battle.

Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, which I bear in my heart from so many people—

For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.

You sweep them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning—

…in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.

You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh.

Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

…nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.

For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.

…to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,

…to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”

The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty; the LORD has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.

Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him in song.

In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him.

…do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, in the day at Massah in the wilderness,

…do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, in the day at Massah in the wilderness,

So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”

Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

…before the LORD, for He is coming—He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.

…before the LORD, for He is coming—He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.

All worshipers of images are put to shame—those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.

Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, in melodious song with the harp.

Let the sea resound, and all that fills it, the world, and all who dwell in it.

Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.

The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

I will ponder the way that is blameless—when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

Do not hide Your face from me in my day of distress. Incline Your ear to me; answer me quickly when I call.

For Your servants delight in her stones and take pity on her dust.

For the LORD will rebuild Zion; He has appeared in His glory.

…that they may proclaim the name of the LORD in Zion and praise Him in Jerusalem,

…that they may proclaim the name of the LORD in Zion and praise Him in Jerusalem,

I say: “O my God, do not take me in the midst of my days! Your years go on through all generations.

In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.

The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.

Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.

Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!

He wraps Himself in light as with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a tent,

…laying the beams of His chambers in the waters above, making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind.

He sends forth springs in the valleys; they flow between the mountains.

…where the birds build their nests; the stork makes her home in the cypresses.

The sun rises, and they withdraw; they lie down in their dens.

How many are Your works, O LORD! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.

All creatures look to You to give them their food in due season.

May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works.

May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the LORD.

Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,

Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.

They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.

They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.

Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.

He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.

Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation,

…that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, and give glory with Your inheritance.

Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea.

They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.

They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.

In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,

…wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.

So He said He would destroy them—had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.

They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.

So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness,

Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.
