- I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble. - And those who know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. - Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
do not forget the oppressed. - But I trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me. - Those who walk blamelessly, and do what is right,
and speak the truth from their heart;
who do not slander with their tongue,
and do no evil to their friends,
nor take up a reproach against their neighbors. - Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
- I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.” - I keep the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. - You show me the path of life.
In your presence there is fullness of joy;
in your right hand are pleasures forevermore. - I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer,
my God, my rock in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. - In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears. - With the loyal you show yourself loyal;
with the blameless you show yourself blameless. - It is you who light my lamp;
the Lord, my God, lights up my darkness. - This God—his way is perfect;
the promise of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all who take refuge in him. - For who is God except the Lord?
And who is a rock besides our God? - You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand has supported me;
your help has made me great.
You gave me a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip. - The heavens are telling the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours forth speech,
and night to night declares knowledge. - The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the decrees of the Lord are sure,
making wise the simple. - The precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is clear,
enlightening the eyes. - Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - May he grant you your heart's desire,
and fulfill all your plans. - Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses,
but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God. - The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters. - 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.
