- For to you a thousand years
are like a yesterday that has passed
or one of the watches of the night. - Teach us to comprehend how few our days are
so that our hearts may be filled with wisdom. - May the favor of the Lord, our God, rest upon us.
And may the work of our hands prosper—
indeed, may the work of our hands prosper. - You who abide in the shelter of the Most High,
who rest in the shadow of the Almighty,
say to the Lord, “You are my refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I place my trust.” - With his feathers he will shelter you,
and you will take refuge under his wings;
his faithfulness serves as a protective shield. - When I realized that my foot was slipping,
your kindness, O Lord, raised me up. - When my anxious thoughts multiplied,
your comfort filled my soul with joy. - Come forth! Let us bow down to worship him;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker. - Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he protects the souls of his faithful ones
and rescues them from the hand of the wicked. - Bless the Lord, O my soul;
my entire being, bless his holy name. - The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness. - As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. - As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him. - But from everlasting to everlasting
the kindness of the Lord is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children,
with those who keep his covenant
and diligently observe his commandments. - I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have life. - Give thanks to the Lord, invoke his name;
proclaim his deeds among the peoples. - Reflect on the Lord and his strength;
seek his face continually. - He has satisfied the thirsty
and filled the hungry with good things. - He sent forth his word and healed them,
saving them from the grave. - I will give thanks to you among the peoples, O Lord;
I will sing your praises among the nations. - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and let your glory shine over all the earth. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
those who are guided by it will grow in understanding.
His praise will last forever. - Alleluia.
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who greatly delights in his precepts. - The future bodes well for him
who is generous in helping those in need
and who conducts his affairs with justice. - He will never be swayed;
the righteous man will be remembered forever.
