Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I call to You all day long.

Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and attend to my plea for mercy.

For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol.

But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.

Turn to me and have mercy; grant Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your maidservant.

Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God. Selah

A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.

May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.

For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.

I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.

You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.

My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.

My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.

Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? Selah

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

A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the loving devotion of the LORD forever; with my mouth I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations.

You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant:

Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.

Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.

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.

He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock of my salvation.’

…if they violate My statutes and fail to keep My commandments,

I will attend to their transgression with the rod, and to their iniquity with stripes.

I will attend to their transgression with the rod, and to their iniquity with stripes.

Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness—I will not lie to David—

You have broken down all his walls; You have reduced his strongholds to rubble.

All who pass by plunder him; he has become a reproach to his neighbors.

You have ended his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.

Where, O Lord, is Your loving devotion of old, which You faithfully swore to David?

Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.

You return man to dust, saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.”

So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.

May Your work be shown to Your servants, and Your splendor to their children.

May Your work be shown to Your servants, and Your splendor to their children.

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

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

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

Your testimonies are fully confirmed; holiness adorns Your house, O LORD, for all the days to come.

Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.

…to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.

They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation!

The LORD has proclaimed His salvation and revealed His righteousness to the nations.

He has remembered His love and faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth—let your cry ring out, and sing praises!

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

…before the LORD, for He comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with equity.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.

He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

A Psalm of thanksgiving. Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and bless His name.

For the LORD is good, and His loving devotion endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations.

A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

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

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

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.

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

My heart is afflicted, and withered like grass; I even forget to eat my bread.

But You, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; Your renown endures to all generations.

You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show her favor—the appointed time has come.

Let this be written for the generation to come, so that a people not yet created may praise the LORD.

For He looked down from the heights of His sanctuary; the LORD gazed out from heaven to earth

…to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to release those condemned to death,

…to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to release those condemned to death,

…to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to release those condemned to death,

…when peoples and kingdoms assemble to serve the LORD.

He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.

He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.

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

He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.
