with uplifted hands I will call on your name. - For you, O God, have put us to the test;
you have purified us as silver is refined. - I lifted up my voice in prayer to him;
his praise was on my tongue. - May God continue to bless us
and be revered to the ends of the earth. - Sing to God, sing praise to his name;
exalt him who rides upon the clouds.
Rejoice in the presence of this God
whose name is the Lord.
The Father of orphans and the defender of widows:
such is God in his holy dwelling place. - He gives a home to those who are forsaken
and leads out prisoners amid chants of exultation,
while rebels are forced to live in an arid land. - Blessed be the Lord, day after day,
the God of our salvation, who carries our burden. Selah - My mouth is filled with your praises
as I relate your glory all day long. - When I sing to you, my lips will rejoice,
and so will my soul, which you have redeemed. - Whom do I have in heaven except you?
And besides you there is nothing else I desire on earth. - Even should my heart and my flesh fail,
God is the rock of my heart
and my portion forever. - Help us, O God, our Savior,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us and wipe away our sins
for your name’s sake. - Restore us, O Lord of hosts;
let your face shine upon us,
and we will be saved. - Grant justice to the weak and the orphan;
defend the rights of the lowly and the poor. - It is better to spend one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in God’s house
than dwell inside the tents of the wicked. - O Lord, you are kind and forgiving,
filled with kindness for all who cry to you. - Teach me your ways, O Lord,
so that I may walk in your truth;
let me worship your name
with an undivided heart. - Before the mountains were brought forth
or the earth and the world came into existence,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. - For to you a thousand years
are like a yesterday that has passed
or one of the watches of the night. - Teach us to comprehend how few our days are
so that our hearts may be filled with wisdom. - May the favor of the Lord, our God, rest upon us.
And may the work of our hands prosper—
indeed, may the work of our hands prosper. - You who abide in the shelter of the Most High,
who rest in the shadow of the Almighty,
say to the Lord, “You are my refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I place my trust.” - With his feathers he will shelter you,
and you will take refuge under his wings;
his faithfulness serves as a protective shield. - When I realized that my foot was slipping,
your kindness, O Lord, raised me up. - When my anxious thoughts multiplied,
your comfort filled my soul with joy.
