- The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth. - The Lord gives sight to the blind,
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,
the Lord loves the righteous. - The Lord watches over the foreigner
and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. - He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds. - For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory. - Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord. - Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers. - But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high. - From the Lord comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people. - In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety. - In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly. - Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield. - What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
