Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.

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

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

There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise.

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

The wicked have drawn the sword and bent the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.

The wicked have drawn the sword and bent the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.

They are ever generous and quick to lend, and their children are a blessing.

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.

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

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

Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.

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.

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.

Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.

Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.

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.

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

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.

May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.

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.

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.

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

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

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.

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.

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

The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, and at night His song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.

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

Like the crushing of my bones, my enemies taunt me, while they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain and to the place where You dwell.

Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain and to the place where You dwell.

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.

For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame.

You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.

You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.

You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.

If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.

For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.

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.

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.

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

Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!

Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!

The nobles of the nations have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.

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.

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

Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

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

No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.

For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.

But God will redeem my life from Sheol, for He will surely take me to Himself. Selah

A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.

Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.

To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?

To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?

You unleash your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.

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:

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.”

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.

In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.

For the choirmaster. A Maskil of David. After Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.

Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah

For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.

God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

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

Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes.

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

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.

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me; all day they press their attack.
