- I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah - You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah - I will instruct you and teach you in 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 by the breath of his mouth all their host. - Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! - Behold, 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 man cried, and the Lord heard him
and saved him out of all his troubles. - Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes 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. - Turn away from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it. - The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
and his ears toward their cry. - The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth. - When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit. - Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord delivers him out of them all. - The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. - Trust in the Lord, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. - Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart. - Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday. - Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices!
