- Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name. - For You, O God, have tested us;
You have refined us as silver is refined. - I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue. - God shall bless us,
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him. - Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Extol Him who rides on the clouds,
By His name Yah,
And rejoice before Him.
A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,
Is God in His holy habitation. - God sets the solitary in families;
He brings out those who are bound into prosperity;
But the rebellious dwell in a dry land. - Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation! Selah - Let my mouth be filled with Your praise
And with Your glory all the day. - My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You,
And my soul, which You have redeemed. - Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. - My flesh and my heart 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;
And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins,
For Your name’s sake! - Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved! - Defend the poor and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and needy. - For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. - For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You. - Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name. - Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. - For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night. - So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom. - And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands. - He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.” - He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler. - If I say, “My foot slips,”
Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up. - In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.
