- God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. - I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart. - The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
What can man do to me? - For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried. - It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in man. - Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you. - The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and kind in all his works. - Salvation belongs to the Lord;
your blessing be on your people! Selah - May he grant you your heart's desire
and fulfill all your plans! - When I thought, “My foot slips,”
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. - So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom. - As a deer pants for flowing streams,
so pants my soul for you, O God. - In the way of your testimonies I delight
as much as in all riches. - O Lord, all my longing is before you;
my sighing is not hidden from you. - Make your face shine on your servant;
save me in your steadfast love! - For it is you who light my lamp;
the Lord my God lightens my darkness. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me. - I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I set your rules before me. - When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul. - Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name! - Blessed is the one
whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered. - I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears. - My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day. - Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. - Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when brothers dwell in unity!
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”The Rock, his work is perfect,
for all his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness and without iniquity,
just and upright is he.
