- The wicked borrows and does not repay,
But the righteous shows mercy and gives. - The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way. - For the Lord loves justice,
And does not forsake His saints;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off. - Lord, all my desire is before You;
And my sighing is not hidden from You. - Hear my prayer, O Lord,
And give ear to my cry;
Do not be silent at my tears;
For I am a stranger with You,
A sojourner, as all my fathers were. - I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is within my heart. - Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;
Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me. - As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God. - My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God? - Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
All Your waves and billows have gone over me. - The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And in the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life. - Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God. - For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,
Nor did their own arm save them;
But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,
Because You favored them. - God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble. - Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth! - Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
Blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me. - The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise. - Behold, God is my helper;
The Lord is with those who uphold my life. - Cast your burden on the Lord,
And He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. - Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
- In God (I will praise His word),
In God I have put my trust;
I will not fear.
What can flesh do to me? - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth. - For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,
And Your truth unto the clouds. - But I will sing of Your power;
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;
For You have been my defense
And refuge in the day of my trouble.
