- 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. - But surely, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life. - Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved. - When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you. - In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I am not afraid;
what can flesh do to me? - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth. - For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the clouds. - But I will sing of your might;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been a fortress for me
and a refuge in the day of my distress. - For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall never be shaken. - For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken. - On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
my mighty rock, my refuge is in God. - And steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
according to their work. - O God, you are my God, I seek you,
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. - Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands and call on your name. - For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried. - I cried aloud to him,
and he was extolled with my tongue. - May God continue to bless us;
let all the ends of the earth revere him. - Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds —
his name is the Lord—
be exultant before him.
Father of orphans and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation. - God gives the desolate a home to live in;
he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious live in a parched land. - Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears us up;
God is our salvation. Selah - My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all day long. - My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have rescued.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you.For who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?
