- My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee;
and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. - Whom have I in heaven but thee?
and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. - My flesh and my heart faileth:
but God is the strength of my heart,
and my portion for ever. - Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of thy name:
and deliver us, and purge away our sins,
for thy name's sake. - Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts,
cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. - Defend the poor and fatherless:
do justice to the afflicted and needy. - For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.
I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. - For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive;
and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. - Teach me thy way, O Lord;
I will walk in thy truth:
unite my heart to fear thy name. - Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. - For a thousand years in thy sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night. - So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. - And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us:
and establish thou the work of our hands upon us;
yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
