- Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I made no attempt to conceal my guilt.
I said, “I will confess my offenses to the Lord,”
and you removed the guilt of my sin. Selah - You are a place of refuge for me;
you preserve me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah - I will instruct you
and guide you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you
and keep my eyes upon you. - For the word of the Lord is true,
and he is faithful in everything he does. - The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is filled with his kindness. - The heavens were made by the word of the Lord,
and all their host by the breath of his mouth. - Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has chosen as his heritage. - But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those who trust in his kindness. - O Lord, let your kindness rest upon us,
for we have placed our hope in you. - I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise will be continually on my lips. - I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he set me free from all my fears. - In my anguish I cried out;
the Lord heard my plea,
and I was saved from all my troubles. - Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. - The powerful suffer want and go hungry,
but those who seek the Lord want for no good thing. - Then keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies. - Shun evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it. - The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry. - The face of the Lord is turned against those who do evil,
to erase all memory of them from the earth. - The righteous call out, and the Lord hears them;
he rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord remains close to the brokenhearted,
and he saves those whose spirit is crushed. - The misfortunes of the righteous man are many,
but the Lord delivers him, from all of them. - The Lord redeems the lives of those who serve him;
no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him. - Put your trust in the Lord and do good,
that you may dwell in the land and be secure. - Take delight in the Lord,
and he will grant you what your heart desires. - Commit your way to the Lord;
place your trust in him, and he will act.
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause, like the noonday. - Wait quietly for the Lord
and be patient until he comes.
Do not fret over the man who prospers
because of his evil schemes.
