- Behold, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life. - Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved. - When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
- In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me? - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth! - For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds. - But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress. - For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. - For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him. - He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken. - On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God. - And that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.
For you will render to a man
according to his work. - O God, you are my God;
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land
where there is no water. - Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands. - For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried. - I cried to him with my mouth,
and high praise was on my tongue. - God shall bless us;
let all the ends of the earth fear him! - Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;
his name is the Lord;
exult before him!
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation. - God settles the solitary in a home;
he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious dwell in a parched land. - Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears us up;
God is our salvation. Selah - My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day. - My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed. - Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. - My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us, and atone for our sins,
for your name's sake!Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
