The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. | The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who 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 opens the eyes of the blind; The Lord raises those who are bowed down; The Lord loves 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 watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down. |
He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. | He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. |
For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. | For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. |
Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord! | Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise 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 Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits 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 You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. |
Victory comes from you, O Lord. May you bless your people. | Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah |
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. | I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord, make 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 You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up. |
For you bless the godly, O Lord; you surround them with your shield of love. | For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround 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 You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? |
