the Lord answered me and set me free. - Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who greatly delights in his commandments! - Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;
his name is the Lord;
exult before him!

is God in his holy habitation. - The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple. - The precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes. - Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm,
for love is strong as death,
jealousy is fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
the very flame of the Lord. - Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. - For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness. - The blessing of the Lord makes rich,

and his ears toward their cry. - Arise, shine, for your light has come,

the righteous man runs into it and is safe. - One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire in his temple. - The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,
the world and those who dwell therein. - Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. - Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the Lord! - By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
and by the breath of his mouth all their host. - The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth. - Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love. - This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.
- This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. - This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. - Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,
who do his just commands;
seek righteousness; seek humility;
perhaps you may be hidden
on the day of the anger of the Lord.When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
