- Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord rescues them from them all. - The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. - Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so you will live in the land, and enjoy security. - Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart. - Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will make your vindication shine like the light,
and the justice of your cause like the noonday. - Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
over those who carry out evil devices. - Better is a little that the righteous person has
than the abundance of many wicked.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous. - The wicked borrow, and do not pay back,
but the righteous are generous and keep giving. - Our steps are made firm by the Lord,
when he delights in our way. - For the Lord loves justice;
he will not forsake his faithful ones.
The righteous shall be kept safe forever,
but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. - O Lord, all my longing is known to you;
my sighing is not hidden from you. - Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
do not hold your peace at my tears.
For I am your passing guest,
an alien, like all my forebears. - I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart. - Do not, O Lord, withhold
your mercy from me;
let your steadfast love and your faithfulness
keep me safe forever. - As a deer longs for flowing streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
the face of God? - Deep calls to deep
at the thunder of your cataracts;
all your waves and your billows
have gone over me. - By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life. - Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God. - For not by their own sword did they win the land,
nor did their own arm give them victory;
but your right hand, and your arm,
and the light of your countenance,
for you delighted in them. - God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. - Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth. - Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and put a new and right spirit within me. - The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
