The Lord is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness. | The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. |
The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. | The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. |
|
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. | The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous. |

He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. | He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. |
For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. | For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. |
Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord! | Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. |
Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. | Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. |
But you, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. | But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. |
Victory comes from you, O Lord. May you bless your people. | Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. |
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. | I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. |
Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. | My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. |
For you bless the godly, O Lord; you surround them with your shield of love. | For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. |
What are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? | What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. | I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. |
I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. | I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. |
The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. | The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. |

Arise, O Lord! Punish the wicked, O God! Do not ignore the helpless! | Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. |
But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me. | But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. |
Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts. Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends. | He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. |
Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. | Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. |
I said to the Lord, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” | O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee. |
I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. | I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. |
You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever. | Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. |
