In you, O Lord, have I put my trust; let me never be put to confusion; deliver me in your righteousness.
Bow down your ear to me, make haste to deliver me,

And be my strong rock and house of defense, that you may save me.

For you are my strong rock and my castle; be also my guide, and lead me for your Name’s sake.

Draw me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my strength.

Into your hands I commend my spirit, for you have redeemed me, O Lord, O God of truth.

Whoever dwells under the defense of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say unto the Lord, “You are my refuge and my stronghold, my God in whom I will trust.”

For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly pestilence.

He shall defend you under his wings, and you shall be safe under his feathers; his faithfulness and truth shall be your shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,

Of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the sickness that destroys at noonday.

A thousand shall fall beside you, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.

Indeed, with your eyes you shall behold and see the reward of the ungodly.

Because you have said, “The Lord is my refuge,” and have made the Most High your stronghold,

There shall no evil happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

They shall bear you in their hands, that you hurt not your foot against a stone.

You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent you shall trample under your feet.

“Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him; I will lift him up, because he has known my Name.

He shall call upon me, and I will hear him; indeed, I am with him in trouble; I will deliver him and bring him honor.

With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.”

Behold now, praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
You that stand by night in the house of the Lord, even in the courts of the house of our God.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and sing praises unto the Lord.

The Lord who made heaven and earth give you blessing out of Zion.

Praised be the Lord daily, even the God who helps us and pours his benefits upon us.
He is our God, the God from whom salvation comes; God is the Lord, by whom we escape death.

God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of those who persist in their wickedness.

The Lord has said, “I will bring back my people again, as I did from Bashan; my own will I bring back again, as I did before from the depths of the sea,

That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and that the tongues of your dogs may be red with blood.”

Your solemn procession is seen, O God, how you go into the sanctuary, my God and King.

The singers go before, the musicians follow after; in the midst are the maidens playing the timbrels.

Give thanks unto God in the congregations, unto the Lord, the fountain of Israel.

There is little Benjamin their ruler, and the princes of Judah their counsel, the princes of Zebulon, and the princes of Naphtali.

O God, send forth your strength; establish, O God, what you have wrought in us.

For your temple’s sake at Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents unto you.

Rebuke the beasts that dwell among the reeds, a herd of bulls with their calves;

Rebuke the peoples who trample on those whom you have tried as silver, and scatter the peoples who delight in war.

Then shall they bring tribute out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands unto God.

Sing unto God, O you kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord,

Unto God who sits in the heavens over all from the beginning; he sends out his voice, his mighty voice.

Ascribe power to God over Israel; his worship and strength are in the clouds.

O God, you are wonderful in your holy places; the God of Israel will give strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.

Your hands have made me and fashioned me; O give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
Those who fear you will be glad when they see me, because I have put my trust in your word.

I know, O Lord, that your judgments are right, and that in your faithfulness you have caused me to be afflicted.

O let your merciful kindness be my comfort, according to your word to your servant.

O let your loving mercies come to me, that I may live, for your law is my delight.

Let the proud be put to shame, for they go about wickedly to destroy me; but I will meditate on your commandments.

Let those who fear you turn to me, even those who know your testimonies.

O let my heart be sound in your statutes, that I may never be put to shame.

My soul has longed for your salvation, and I have a good hope because of your word.

My eyes long sorely for your word, saying, “O when will you comfort me?”

For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, yet I do not forget your statutes.

How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?

The proud have dug pits for me; they do not walk after your law.

All your commandments are true. They persecute me falsely; O Lord, be my help.

They had almost made an end of me on earth, but I have not forsaken your commandments.

O revive me with your loving-kindness, and so shall I keep the testimonies of your mouth.

O Lord, your word endures for ever; it stands fast in heaven.

Your faithfulness remains from one generation to another; you have laid the foundation of the earth, and it abides.

Surely your ordinances stand firm this day, for all things are your servants.

If my delight had not been in your law, I should have perished in my affliction.

I will never forget your commandments, for with them you have enlivened me.

I am yours; O save me! For I have sought your commandments.

The ungodly lie in wait for me to destroy me, but I will consider your testimonies.

I see that all things come to an end, but your commandment has no bounds.

Lord, what love I have for your law; all the day long I meditate on it.

You, through your commandment, have made me wiser than my enemies, for it is always with me.

I have more understanding than my teachers, for your testimonies are my study.

I am wiser than the agéd, because I keep your commandments.

I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep your word.

I have not turned aside from your judgments, for you yourself have taught me.

Oh how sweet are your words to my taste; indeed, sweeter than honey to my mouth.

Through your commandments I get understanding; therefore I hate all evil ways.

Bow down your ear, O Lord, and hear me, for I am poor and in misery.
Preserve my life, for I am faithful; my God, save your servant who puts his trust in you.

Be merciful unto me, O Lord, for I will call daily upon you.

Comfort the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For you, Lord, are good and gracious, and of great mercy to all those who call upon you.

Give ear, Lord, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my humble supplications.

In the time of my trouble I will call upon you, for you answer me when I call.

Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord, nor are there any deeds like yours.

All nations that you have made shall come and worship you, O Lord, and shall glorify your Name.

For you are great and do wondrous things; indeed, you are God alone.

Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; O knit my heart to you, that I may fear your Name.

I will thank you, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and will praise your Name for evermore.

For great is your mercy toward me; you have delivered my life from the nethermost Pit.

O God, the proud have risen up against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my life, and have not set you before their eyes.

But you, O Lord God, are full of compassion and mercy, long-suffering, plenteous in goodness and truth.

O turn then unto me, and have mercy upon me; give your strength unto your servant, and help the son of your handmaid.

Show me some token of your favor, that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, because you, Lord, have been my helper and comforter.

I have done that which is lawful and right; O give me not over to my oppressors.
Be surety for your servant’s good; O let not the arrogant oppress me.

My eyes have wasted away with looking for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness.

O deal with your servant according to your loving mercy, and teach me your statutes.

I am your servant; O grant me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.

It is time for you, O Lord, to act, for they have broken your law.

For I love your commandments above all things, more than gold and precious stones.

Therefore I hold all your commandments to be right, and all false ways I utterly abhor.

Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore does my soul keep them.

When your word goes forth it gives light and understanding to the simple.

I opened my mouth, and drew in my breath, for my delight was in your commandments.

O look upon me, and be merciful unto me, as you always do for those who love your Name.

Order my steps according to your word, and so shall no wickedness have dominion over me.

O deliver me from those who deal wrongfully, and so shall I keep your commandments.

Show the light of your countenance upon your servant, and teach me your statutes.

My eyes gush out water because of those who do not keep your law.
