- Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the whole world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. - A thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night. - Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom. - May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;
establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands. - Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.” - He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. - When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. - When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy. - Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. - Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. - Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name. - The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love. - As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. - As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. - But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts. - I will sing to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. - Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done. - Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always. - For he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things. - He sent out his word and healed them;
he rescued them from the grave. - I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples. - 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 who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise. - Praise the Lord.
Blessed are those who fear the Lord,
who find great delight in his commands. - Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.
Surely the righteous will never be shaken;
they will be remembered forever.What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
