Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

but his delight is in the Law of the LORD. On his Law he meditates day and night.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

My soul is also in great anguish. But you, LORD?how long?

For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

LORD, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,

The LORD administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.

LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens.

what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.

The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.

His ways are prosperous at all times. Your judgments are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.

Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.

The LORD is King forever and ever. The nations will perish out of his land.

The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none who does good.

They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is none who does good, no, not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?

There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

You would frustrate the plans of the lowly, but the LORD is his refuge.

He who walks blamelessly does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;

In whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;

As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

I have set the LORD 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 forevermore.

As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,

from men by your hand, LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

The LORD 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.

I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.

As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.

His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.

Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.

Save, LORD. Let the King answer us when we call.

His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

Do not be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is none to help.

I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted within me.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.

For the kingdom is the LORD's. He is the ruler over the nations.

The LORD is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.

The earth is the LORD's, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.

This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face?even Jacob. Selah.

Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts is the King of glory. Selah.

Good and upright is the LORD, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

For your name's sake, LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

What man is he who fears the LORD? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.

Do not draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

The LORD is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

The voice of the LORD is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters.

The voice of the LORD is powerful. The voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."

"What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men.

As for me, I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before your eyes." Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
