He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness;
According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.

Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is sweet and good and comforting;
According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me.

According to Your steadfast love refresh me and give me life,
So that I may keep and obey the testimony of Your mouth.

Consider how I love Your precepts;
Revive me and give me life, O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness.

My soul keeps Your testimonies [hearing and accepting and obeying them];
I love them greatly.

Remember, O Lord, Your [tender] compassion and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they have been from of old.

For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have walked [faithfully] in Your truth.

Make Your face shine upon Your servant;
Save me in Your lovingkindness.

Blessed be the Lord,
For He has shown His marvelous favor and lovingkindness to me [when I was assailed] in a besieged city.

Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
But he who trusts in and relies on the Lord shall be surrounded with compassion and lovingkindness.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],
On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness,

Let Your [steadfast] lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us,
In proportion as we have hoped in You.

Your lovingkindness and graciousness, O Lord, extend to the skies,
Your faithfulness [reaches] to the clouds.

O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness (salvation) to the upright in heart.

Do not withhold Your compassion and tender mercy from me, O Lord;
Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me.

Yet the Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And in the night His song will be with me,
A prayer to the God of my life.

Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
The lovingkindness of God endures all day long.

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust [confidently] in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

He will send from heaven and save me;
He calls to account him who tramples me down. Selah.
God will send out His lovingkindness and His truth.

For Your faithfulness and lovingkindness are great, reaching to the heavens,
And Your truth to the clouds.

But as for me, I will sing of Your mighty strength and power;
Yes, I will sing joyfully of Your lovingkindness in the morning;
For You have been my stronghold
And a refuge in the day of my distress.

He will sit enthroned forever before [the face of] God;
Appoint lovingkindness and truth to watch over and preserve him.

Also to You, O Lord, belong lovingkindness and compassion,
For You compensate every man according to [the value of] his work.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.

Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.

But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, at an acceptable and opportune time;
O God, in the greatness of Your favor and in the abundance of Your lovingkindness,
Answer me with truth [that is, the faithfulness of Your salvation].

Has His lovingkindness ceased forever?
Have His promises ended for all time?

And I said, “This is my grief,
That the right hand of the Most High has changed [and His lovingkindness is withheld].”

Show us Your lovingkindness, O Lord,
And grant us Your salvation.

Steadfast love and truth and faithfulness meet together;
Righteousness and peace kiss each other.

For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our sins, sending them away, completely letting them go forever and ever];
And abundant in lovingkindness and overflowing in mercy to all those who call upon You.

For great is Your lovingkindness and graciousness toward me;
And You have rescued my life from the depths of Sheol [from death].

But You, O Lord, are a God [who protects and is] merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness and truth.

I will sing of the goodness and lovingkindness of the Lord forever;
With my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness from generation to generation.

For I have said, “Goodness and lovingkindness will be built up forever;
In the heavens [unchangeable and majestic] You will establish Your faithfulness.”

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Lovingkindness and truth go before You.

“My faithfulness and My steadfast lovingkindness shall be with him,
And in My name shall his horn be exalted [great power and prosperity shall be conferred upon him].

“My lovingkindness I will keep for him forevermore,
And My covenant will be confirmed to him.

“Nevertheless, I will not break off My lovingkindness from him,
Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.

O Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses [so abundant in the days of David and Solomon],
Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?

O satisfy us with Your lovingkindness in the morning [now, before we grow older],
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by night,

If I say, “My foot has slipped,”
Your compassion and lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.

He has [graciously] remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
All the ends of the earth have witnessed the salvation of our God.

His faithfulness [endures] to all generations.

I will sing of [steadfast] lovingkindness and justice;
To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

You will arise and have compassion on Zion,
For it is time to be gracious and show favor to her;
Yes, the appointed time [the moment designated] has come.

Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you [lavishly] with lovingkindness and tender mercy;

The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in compassion and lovingkindness.

For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].

But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,

To those who honor and keep His covenant,
And remember to do His commandments [imprinting His word on their hearts].

So that they might observe His precepts
And keep His laws [obediently accepting and honoring and valuing them].
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His mercy and lovingkindness endure forever!

Our fathers in Egypt did not understand nor appreciate Your miracles;
They did not remember the abundance of Your mercies nor imprint Your lovingkindnesses on their hearts,
But they were rebellious at the sea, at the Red Sea.

And He remembered His covenant for their sake,
And relented [rescinding their sentence] according to the greatness of His lovingkindness [when they cried out to Him],

O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His compassion and lovingkindness endure forever!

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonderful acts to the children of men!

Your truth reaches to the skies.

But You, O God, the Lord, show kindness to me, for Your name’s sake;
Because Your lovingkindness (faithfulness, compassion) is good, O rescue me;

Help me, O Lord my God;
Save me according to Your lovingkindness—

He has made His wonderful acts to be remembered;
The Lord is gracious and merciful and full of loving compassion.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth and faithfulness.

Precious [and of great consequence] in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His godly ones [so He watches over them].

For His lovingkindness prevails over us [and we triumph and overcome through Him],
And the truth of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

For His lovingkindness endures forever.

Oh, that my ways may be established
To observe and keep Your statutes [obediently accepting and honoring them]!

And teach me Your statutes.

And I will keep Your testimonies.

Great are Your tender mercies and steadfast love, O Lord;
Revive me and give me life according to Your ordinances.

I see the treacherous and loathe them,
Because they do not respect Your law.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
And as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He is gracious and favorable toward us.

Be gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious and favorable toward us,
For we are greatly filled with contempt.
