- Blessed be the Lord, day after day,
the God of our salvation, who carries our burden. Selah - My mouth is filled with your praises
as I relate your glory all day long. - When I sing to you, my lips will rejoice,
and so will my soul, which you have redeemed. - Whom do I have in heaven except you?
And besides you there is nothing else I desire on earth. - Even should my heart and my flesh fail,
God is the rock of my heart
and my portion forever. - Help us, O God, our Savior,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us and wipe away our sins
for your name’s sake. - Restore us, O Lord of hosts;
let your face shine upon us,
and we will be saved. - Grant justice to the weak and the orphan;
defend the rights of the lowly and the poor. - It is better to spend one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in God’s house
than dwell inside the tents of the wicked. - O Lord, you are kind and forgiving,
filled with kindness for all who cry to you. - Teach me your ways, O Lord,
so that I may walk in your truth;
let me worship your name
with an undivided heart. - Before the mountains were brought forth
or the earth and the world came into existence,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. - For to you a thousand years
are like a yesterday that has passed
or one of the watches of the night. - Teach us to comprehend how few our days are
so that our hearts may be filled with wisdom. - May the favor of the Lord, our God, rest upon us.
And may the work of our hands prosper—
indeed, may the work of our hands prosper. - You who abide in the shelter of the Most High,
who rest in the shadow of the Almighty,
say to the Lord, “You are my refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I place my trust.” - With his feathers he will shelter you,
and you will take refuge under his wings;
his faithfulness serves as a protective shield. - When I realized that my foot was slipping,
your kindness, O Lord, raised me up. - When my anxious thoughts multiplied,
your comfort filled my soul with joy. - Come forth! Let us bow down to worship him;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker. - Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he protects the souls of his faithful ones
and rescues them from the hand of the wicked. - Bless the Lord, O my soul;
my entire being, bless his holy name. - The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness. - As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. - As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.
But from everlasting to everlasting
the kindness of the Lord is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children,
with those who keep his covenant
and diligently observe his commandments.What I commanded them was this: Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. If you follow all the ways that I command you, then you will prosper.
