- Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—
they comfort me. - The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters. - Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
my whole life long. - The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it,
the world, and those who live in it. - Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory. Selah - Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths. - Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long. - Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for your goodness' sake, O Lord! - Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way. - The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid? - Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
yet I will be confident. - One thing I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
to live in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in his temple. - I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living. - Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord! - The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts;
so I am helped, and my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him. - May the Lord give strength to his people!
May the Lord bless his people with peace! - For his anger is but for a moment;
his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night,
but joy comes with the morning. - In you, O Lord, I seek refuge;
do not let me ever be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me. - You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
for your name's sake lead me and guide me. - My times are in your hand;
deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors. - Let your face shine upon your servant;
save me in your steadfast love. - O how abundant is your goodness
that you have laid up for those who fear you,
and accomplished for those who take refuge in you,
in the sight of everyone! - Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the Lord. - Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered. - While I kept silence, my body wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not hide my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the guilt of my sin. SelahFor if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help.
