The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. | The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. |
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. | The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous. |

The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked. | The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. |
He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. | He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. |
For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. | For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. |
Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord! | Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. |
Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. | 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 you, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. | But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. |
Victory comes from you, O Lord. May you bless your people. | Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. |
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. | I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. |
Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. | 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 you bless the godly, O Lord; you surround them with your shield of love. | For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. |
What are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? | What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
