- Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
do not forget the oppressed. - For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried. - May God continue to bless us;
let all the ends of the earth revere him. - The Lord is just in all his ways,
and kind in all his doings. - Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you. - With the Lord on my side I do not fear.
What can mortals do to me? - So teach us to count our days
that we may gain a wise heart. - I delight in the way of your decrees
as much as in all riches. - May he grant you your heart's desire,
and fulfill all your plans. - As a deer longs for flowing streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - Deliverance belongs to the Lord;
may your blessing be on your people! Selah - It is you who light my lamp;
the Lord, my God, lights up my darkness. - It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to put confidence in mortals. - Even before a word is on my tongue,
O Lord, you know it completely. - When I thought, “My foot is slipping,”
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. - Let your face shine upon your servant;
save me in your steadfast love. - O Lord, all my longing is known to you;
my sighing is not hidden from you. - Our steps are made firm by the Lord,
when he delights in our way. - Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered. - I treasure your word in my heart,
so that I may not sin against you. - 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. - I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and put a new and right spirit within me. - My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all day long.
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”The Rock, his work is perfect,
and all his ways are just.
A faithful God, without deceit,
just and upright is he.
