- Yahweh is righteous in all his ways,
and gracious in all his works. - Yahweh is near to all those who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth. - Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind.
Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down.
Yahweh loves the righteous. - Yahweh preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
but he turns the way of the wicked upside down. - He heals the broken in heart,
and binds up their wounds. - For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people.
He crowns the humble with salvation. - Let everything that has breath praise Yah!
Praise Yah! - Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand on the path of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers. - But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. - Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
May your blessing be on your people. Selah. - In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety. - Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice.
In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly. - For you will bless the righteous.
Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield. - What is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him? - I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart.
I will tell of all your marvelous works. - I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed;
a high tower in times of trouble. - Those who know your name will put their trust in you,
for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you. - Arise, Yahweh!
God, lift up your hand!
Don’t forget the helpless. - But I trust in your loving kindness.
My heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to Yahweh,
because he has been good to me. - He who walks blamelessly and does what is right,
and speaks truth in his heart;
he who doesn’t slander with his tongue,
nor does evil to his friend,
nor casts slurs against his fellow man. - Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
- My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord.
Apart from you I have no good thing.” - I have set Yahweh always before me.
Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. - You will show me the path of life.
In your presence is fullness of joy.
In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
I love you, Yahweh, my strength.
Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer;
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”Next verse!With image
