Hear my prayer, O Lord, Give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, And in Your righteousness. | Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my plea! Answer me because you are faithful and righteous. |
I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah | I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. |
|
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You. | 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; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness. | Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing. |
I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever. | I will exalt you, my God and King, and praise your name forever and ever. |
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. | Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness. |
The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works. | The Lord is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness. |
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. | 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 raises those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous. | The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. |
The Lord watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down. | 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 binds up their wounds. | He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. |
For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. | For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. |
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord! | Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord! |
