- Blessed is the man
that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. - But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. - Salvation belongeth unto the Lord:
thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. - I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:
for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. - My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord;
in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. - For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous;
with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. - What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man, that thou visitest him? - I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. - I will be glad and rejoice in thee:
I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. - The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of trouble. - And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:
for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. - Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand:
forget not the humble. - But I have trusted in thy mercy;
my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
I will sing unto the Lord,
because he hath dealt bountifully with me. - He that walketh uprightly,
and worketh righteousness,
and speaketh the truth in his heart.
He that backbiteth not with his tongue,
nor doeth evil to his neighbour,
nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. - Preserve me, O God:
for in thee do I put my trust. - O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord:
my goodness extendeth not to thee. - I have set the Lord always before me:
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. - Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
in thy presence is fulness of joy;
at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. - I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
my God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. - In my distress I called upon the Lord,
and cried unto my God:
he heard my voice out of his temple,
and my cry came before him, even into his ears. - With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful;
with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. - For thou wilt light my candle:
the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. - As for God, his way is perfect:
the word of the Lord is tried:
he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. - For who is God save the Lord?
or who is a rock save our God? - Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:
and thy right hand hath holden me up,
and thy gentleness hath made me great.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,
that my feet did not slip.
The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech,
and night unto night sheweth knowledge.Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
