and merciful in everything he does. - The Lord is near to all who call out to him,
to all who call out to him sincerely. - And opens the eyes of those who cannot see.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous. - The Lord watches over the stranger
and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he blocks the way of the wicked. - He heals the brokenhearted
and bandages their wounds. - For the Lord takes delight in his people,
and he crowns the humble with salvation. - Let everything that breathes
offer praise to the Lord.
Alleluia. - Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand in the way of sinners,
nor sit in the company of scoffers. - But you, O Lord, are a shield to protect me;
you are my glory and the one who raises my head high. - Salvation comes from the Lord.
May your blessing be upon your people. Selah - In peace I lie down and sleep,
for only with your help, O Lord,
can I rest secure. - O Lord, at daybreak you hear my voice;
at daybreak I bring my petition before you
and await your reply. - Truly, you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you surround them with your goodwill as with a shield. - What is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him? - I will offer praise to you, O Lord,
with my whole heart;
I will recount all your wondrous deeds. - I will rejoice and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of distress. - Those who revere your name place their trust in you,
for you never abandon those who seek you, O Lord. - Arise, O Lord! Lift up your hand, O God!
Do not forget the afflicted. - As for me, I trust in your kindness;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord
because he has been good to me. - The one who leads a blameless life
and does what is right,
who speaks the truth from the heart
and does not slander anyone,
who does not harm a friend
and does not scorn a neighbor. - Protect me, O God,
for in you I take refuge. - I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.” - I keep the Lord always before me,
for with him at my right hand
I will never fall. - You will show me the path to life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence
and everlasting delights at your right hand.
