and stopped trying to hide my guilt.

you protect me from trouble.

and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born. - What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord,
whose people he has chosen as his inheritance. - But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love. - Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone. - I will praise the Lord at all times.
I will constantly speak his praises. - I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.
He freed me from all my fears. - In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
he saved me from all my troubles. - Taste and see that the Lord is good.
Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! - Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry,
but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing. - Then keep your tongue from speaking evil
and your lips from telling lies! - Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it. - The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right;
his ears are open to their cries for help. - But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil;
he will erase their memory from the earth. - The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help.
He rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. - The righteous person faces many troubles,
but the Lord comes to the rescue each time. - But the Lord will redeem those who serve him.
No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned. - Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. - Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires. - Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.

and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. - Be still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
or fret about their wicked schemes.
