- For a thousand years in your sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night. - So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom. - Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands! - He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.” - He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. - When I thought, “My foot slips,”
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. - When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul. - Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! - O you who love the Lord, hate evil!
He preserves the lives of his saints;
he delivers them from the hand of the wicked. - Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name! - The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. - As far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us. - As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. - But the steadfast love of the Lord is
from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments. - I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being. - Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples! - Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually! - For he satisfies the longing soul,
and the hungry soul he fills with good things. - He sent out his word and healed them,
and delivered them from their destruction. - I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations. - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth! - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever! - Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who greatly delights in his commandments! - It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice. - For the righteous will never be moved;
he will be remembered forever.
