test me and understand my thoughts.
See if I follow an evil way,
and guide me on the way to eternity. - O Lord, hear my prayer,
incline your ear to my supplications.
In your faithfulness respond to me
with your righteousness. - I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah - At dawn let me experience your kindness,
for in you I place my trust.
Show me the path I must walk,
for to you I lift up my soul. - Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
Let your gracious Spirit lead me
along a level path. - I will extol you, my God and King;
I will bless your name forever and ever. - Great is the Lord and worthy of the highest praise;
no one can even begin to comprehend his greatness. - The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and merciful in everything he does. - The Lord is near to all who call out to him,
to all who call out to him sincerely. - And opens the eyes of those who cannot see.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous. - The Lord watches over the stranger
and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he blocks the way of the wicked. - He heals the brokenhearted
and bandages their wounds. - For the Lord takes delight in his people,
and he crowns the humble with salvation. - Let everything that breathes
offer praise to the Lord.
Alleluia. - Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand in the way of sinners,
nor sit in the company of scoffers. - But you, O Lord, are a shield to protect me;
you are my glory and the one who raises my head high. - Salvation comes from the Lord.
May your blessing be upon your people. Selah - In peace I lie down and sleep,
for only with your help, O Lord,
can I rest secure. - O Lord, at daybreak you hear my voice;
at daybreak I bring my petition before you
and await your reply. - Truly, you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you surround them with your goodwill as with a shield. - What is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him? - I will offer praise to you, O Lord,
with my whole heart;
I will recount all your wondrous deeds. - I will rejoice and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of distress. - Those who revere your name place their trust in you,
for you never abandon those who seek you, O Lord.
