- Because Your favor 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 in Your name. - For You have put us to the test, God;
You have refined us as silver is refined. - I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was exalted with my tongue. - God blesses us,
So that all the ends of the earth may fear Him. - Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Exalt Him who rides through the deserts,
Whose name is the Lord, and be jubilant before Him.
A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows,
Is God in His holy dwelling. - God makes a home for the lonely;
He leads out the prisoners into prosperity,
Only the rebellious live in parched lands. - Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden,
The God who 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;
And my soul, which You have redeemed. - Whom do I have in heaven but You?
And with You, I desire nothing on earth. - My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. - Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name;
And save us and forgive our sins for the sake of Your name. - Lord God of armies, restore us;
Make Your face shine upon us, and we will be saved. - 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.Create in me a clean heart, God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I am commanding you today, that the Lord your God will put you high above all the nations of the earth.Next verse!With image
