“I have consecrated My King
on Zion, My holy mountain.”

I will declare the Lord’s decree:
He said to Me, “You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father.

Pay homage to the Son or He will be angry
and you will perish in your rebellion,
for His anger may ignite at any moment.
All those who take refuge in Him are happy.

Be angry and do not sin;
on your bed, reflect in your heart and be still.Selah

what is man that You remember him,
the son of man that You look after him?

Sing to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;
proclaim His deeds among the nations.

so that I may declare all Your praises.
I will rejoice in Your salvation
within the gates of Daughter Zion.

But You Yourself have seen trouble and grief,
observing it in order to take the matter into Your hands.
The helpless entrusts himself to You;
You are a helper of the fatherless.

Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come from Zion!
When the Lord restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.

You have tested my heart;
You have examined me at night.
You have tried me and found nothing evil;
I have determined that my mouth will not sin.

Foreigners submit to me grudgingly;
as soon as they hear, they obey me.

Their message has gone out to all the earth,
and their words to the ends of the world.

In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.

May He send you help from the sanctuary
and sustain you from Zion.

Because of Your name, Yahweh,
forgive my sin, for it is great.

I will rejoice and be glad in Your faithful love
because You have seen my affliction.
You have known the troubles of my life

Davidic. A Maskil.How joyful is the one
whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered!

How joyful is the man
the Lord does not charge with sin
and in whose spirit is no deceit!

Then I acknowledged my sin to You
and did not conceal my iniquity.
I said,
“I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and You took away the guilt of my sin.Selah

for in his own eyes he flatters himself too much
to discover and hate his sin.

I have been young and now I am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned
or his children begging for bread.

I have seen a wicked, violent man
well-rooted like a flourishing native tree.

There is no health in my body
because of Your indignation;
there is no strength in my bones
because of my sin.

So I confess my guilt;
I am anxious because of my sin.

For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Davidic psalm.I said, “I will guard my ways
so that I may not sin with my tongue;
I will guard my mouth with a muzzle
as long as the wicked are in my presence.”

You discipline a man with punishment for sin,
consuming like a moth what is precious to him;
every man is only a vapor.Selah

You do not delight in sacrifice and offering;
You open my ears to listen.
You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.

rising splendidly,
is the joy of the whole earth.
Mount Zion on the slopes of the north
is the city of the great King.

Just as we heard, so we have seen
in the city of Yahweh of Hosts,
in the city of our God;
God will establish it forever.Selah

Mount Zion is glad.
The towns of Judah rejoice
because of Your judgments.

Go around Zion, encircle it;
count its towers,

From Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God appears in radiance.

You sit, maligning your brother,
slandering your mother’s son.

Wash away my guilt
and cleanse me from my sin.

For I am conscious of my rebellion,
and my sin is always before me.

Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper;
build the walls of Jerusalem.

Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come from Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.

Will they escape in spite of such sin?
God, bring down the nations in wrath.

Like a slug that moves along in slime,
like a woman’s miscarried child,
they will not see the sun.

Deliver me from those who practice sin,
and save me from men of bloodshed.

Lord, look! They set an ambush for me.
Powerful men attack me,
but not because of any sin or rebellion of mine.

For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
They utter curses and lies.

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. A song.Praise is rightfully Yours,
God, in Zion;
vows to You will be fulfilled.

the earth trembled and the skies poured down rain
before God, the God of Sinai,
before God, the God of Israel.

God’s chariots are tens of thousands,
thousands and thousands;
the Lord is among them in the sanctuary
as He was at Sinai.

People have seen Your procession, God,
the procession of my God,
my King, in the sanctuary.

for God will save Zion
and build up the cities of Judah.
They will live there and possess it.

I have become an ominous sign to many,
but You are my strong refuge.

Solomonic.God, give Your justice to the king
and Your righteousness to the king’s son.

May he continue while the sun endures
and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.

May his name endure forever;
as long as the sun shines,
may his fame increase.
May all nations be blessed by him
and call him blessed.

The prayers of David son of Jesse are concluded.

Remember Your congregation,
which You purchased long ago
and redeemed as the tribe for Your own possession.
Remember Mount Zion where You dwell.

The day is Yours, also the night;
You established the moon and the sun.

His tent is in Salem,
His dwelling place in Zion.

He worked wonders in the sight of their fathers
in the land of Egypt, the region of Zoan.

But they continued to sin against Him,
rebelling in the desert against the Most High.

when He performed His miraculous signs in Egypt
and His wonders in the region of Zoan.

He chose instead the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion, which He loved.

Let Your hand be with the man at Your right hand,
with the son of man
You have made strong for Yourself.

They go from strength to strength;
each appears before God in Zion.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield.
The Lord gives grace and glory;
He does not withhold the good
from those who live with integrity.

You took away Your people’s guilt;
You covered all their sin.Selah

Turn to me and be gracious to me.
Give Your strength to Your servant;
save the son of Your female servant.

Show me a sign of Your goodness;
my enemies will see and be put to shame
because You, Lord, have helped and comforted me.

The Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

And it will be said of Zion,
“This one and that one were born in her.”
The Most High Himself will establish her.

then I will call their rebellion
to account with the rod,
their sin with blows.

His offspring will continue forever,
his throne like the sun before Me,

Make us rejoice for as many days as You have humbled us,
for as many years as we have seen adversity.

Let Your work be seen by Your servants,
and Your splendor by their children.

If the Lord had not been my helper,
I would soon rest in the silence of death.

where your fathers tested Me;
they tried Me, though they had seen what I did.

Zion hears and is glad,
and the towns of Judah rejoice
because of Your judgments, Lord.

He has remembered His love
and faithfulness to the house of Israel;
all the ends of the earth
have seen our God’s victory.

Yahweh is great in Zion;
He is exalted above all the peoples.

You will rise up and have compassion on Zion,
for it is time to show favor to her—
the appointed time has come.

for the Lord will rebuild Zion;
He will appear in His glory.

so that they might declare
the name of Yahweh in Zion
and His praise in Jerusalem,

He forgives all your sin;
He heals all your diseases.

He made the moon to mark the festivals;
the sun knows when to set.

The sun rises; they go back
and lie down in their dens.

They soon forgot His works
and would not wait for His counsel.

He rescued them many times,
but they continued to rebel deliberately
and were beaten down by their sin.

When he is judged, let him be found guilty,
and let his prayer be counted as sin.

Let his ancestors’ guilt
be remembered before the Lord,
and do not let his mother’s sin be blotted out.

The Lord will extend Your mighty scepter from Zion.
Rule over Your surrounding enemies.

From the rising of the sun to its setting,
let the name of Yahweh be praised.

Lord, I am indeed Your servant;
I am Your servant, the son of Your female servant.
You have loosened my bonds.

I have treasured Your word in my heart
so that I may not sin against You.

I have seen a limit to all perfection,
but Your command is without limit.

Make my steps steady through Your promise;
don’t let any sin dominate me.

I have seen the disloyal and feel disgust
because they do not keep Your word.

The sun will not strike you by day
or the moon by night.

A song of ascents.Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion.
It cannot be shaken; it remains forever.

A song of ascents.When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.

May the Lord bless you from Zion,
so that you will see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life

Let all who hate Zion
be driven back in disgrace.

For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His home:

It is like the dew of Hermon
falling on the mountains of Zion.
For there the Lord has appointed the blessing—
life forevermore.
