- Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute. - For a day in Your courtyards is better than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than live in the tents of wickedness. - For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in mercy to all who call upon You. - Teach me Your way, Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name. - Before the mountains were born
Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. - For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it passes by,
Or like a watch in the night. - So teach us to number our days,
That we may present to You a heart of wisdom. - May the kindness of the Lord our God be upon us;
And confirm for us the work of our hands;
Yes, confirm the work of our hands. - One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!” - He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may take refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and wall. - If I should say, “My foot has slipped,”
Your faithfulness, Lord, will support me. - When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,
Your comfort delights my soul. - Come, let’s worship and bow down,
Let’s kneel before the Lord our Maker. - Hate evil, you who love the Lord,
Who watches over the souls of His godly ones;
He saves them from the hand of the wicked. - Bless the Lord, my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name. - The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in mercy. - As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our wrongdoings from us. - Just as a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. - But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting for those who fear Him,
And His justice to the children’s children,
To those who keep His covenant
And remember His precepts, so as to do them. - I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. - Give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name;
Make His deeds known among the peoples. - Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face continually. - For He has satisfied the thirsty soul,
And He has filled the hungry soul with what is good. - He sent His word and healed them,
And saved them from their destruction. - I will give thanks to You, Lord, among the peoples,
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
