- Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life. - Hear my prayer, O Lord;
listen to my plea!
Answer me because you are faithful and righteous. - I lift my hands to you in prayer.
I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. - Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
for I give myself to you. - Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
May your gracious Spirit lead me forward
on a firm footing. - I will exalt you, my God and King,
and praise your name forever and ever. - Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise!
No one can measure his greatness. - The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness. - The Lord is close to all who call on him,
yes, to all who call on him in truth. - The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down.
The Lord loves the godly. - The Lord protects the foreigners among us.
He cares for the orphans and widows,
but he frustrates the plans of the wicked. - He heals the brokenhearted
and bandages their wounds. - For the Lord delights in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory. - Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord!
Praise the Lord! - Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers. - But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. - Victory comes from you, O Lord.
May you bless your people. - In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. - Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.
Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. - For you bless the godly, O Lord;
you surround them with your shield of love. - What are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them? - I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. - I will be filled with joy because of you.
I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. - The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of trouble. - Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.
