- Search me, God, and know my heart.
Try me, and know my thoughts.
See if there is any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the everlasting way. - Hear my prayer, Yahweh.
Listen to my petitions.
In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me. - I spread out my hands to you.
My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah. - Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning,
for I trust in you.
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
for I lift up my soul to you. - Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness. - I will exalt you, my God, the King.
I will praise your name forever and ever. - Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised!
His greatness is unsearchable. - Yahweh is righteous in all his ways,
and gracious in all his works. - Yahweh is near to all those who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth. - Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind.
Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down.
Yahweh loves the righteous. - Yahweh preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
but he turns the way of the wicked upside down. - He heals the broken in heart,
and binds up their wounds. - For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people.
He crowns the humble with salvation. - Let everything that has breath praise Yah!
Praise Yah! - Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand on the path of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers. - But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. - Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
May your blessing be on your people. Selah. - In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety. - Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice.
In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly. - For you will bless the righteous.
Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield. - What is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him? - I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart.
I will tell of all your marvelous works. - I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed;
a high tower in times of trouble. - Those who know your name will put their trust in you,
for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
Arise, Yahweh!
God, lift up your hand!
Don’t forget the helpless.May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you. Always rejoice. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.Next verse!With image
