A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.

As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.

As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.

Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.

But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.

In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat—for He gives sleep to His beloved.

Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.

In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.

…unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.

May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”

A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!

O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.

A song of ascents. Of David. My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not aspire to great things or matters too lofty for me.

I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.

Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.

The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.

Lift up your hands to the sanctuary and bless the LORD!

Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good. His loving devotion endures forever.

Give thanks to the God of gods. His loving devotion endures forever.

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.

May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!

Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”

O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.

O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.

I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?

If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.

…even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.

…even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God, how vast is their sum!

If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand; and when I awake, I am still with You.

Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me safe from men of violence who scheme to make me stumble.

I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, O LORD, my cry for help.

May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into the miry pits, never to rise again.

A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.

A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.

Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.

When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.

A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.

A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.

I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.

Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.

Free my soul from prison, that I may praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because of Your goodness to me.

A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.

For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.

I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah

Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.

Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.

Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.

Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

I will sing to You a new song, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You—

Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved to adorn a palace.

Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable.

One generation will commend Your works to the next, and will proclaim Your mighty acts—

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

The LORD is good to all; His compassion rests on all He has made.

…to make known to men Your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom.

…to make known to men Your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom.

The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food in season.

The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call out to Him in truth.

The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call out to Him in truth.

I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.

He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,

Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!

Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!
