- 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. Selah - You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah - I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you. - For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness. - He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord. - By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
and all their host by the breath of his mouth. - Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has chosen as his heritage. - Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love. - Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you. - I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth. - I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears. - This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord,
and was saved from every trouble. - O taste and see that the Lord is good;
happy are those who take refuge in him. - The young lions suffer want and hunger,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. - Keep your tongue from evil,
and your lips from speaking deceit. - Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry.But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.
