Lift up your heads, you gates!
Rise up, ancient doors!
Then the King of glory will come in.

No one who waits for You
will be disgraced;
those who act treacherously without cause
will be disgraced.

Who is the man who fears the Lord?
He will show him the way he should choose.

He will live a good life,
and his descendants will inherit the land.

My eyes are always on the Lord,
for He will pull my feet out of the net.

My foot stands on level ground;
I will praise the Lord in the assemblies.

For He will conceal me in His shelter
in the day of adversity;
He will hide me under the cover of His tent;
He will set me high on a rock.

Then my head will be high
above my enemies around me;
I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy.
I will sing and make music to the Lord.

My heart says this about You,
“You are to seek My face.”
Lord, I will seek Your face.

Do not give me over to the will of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing violence.

I am certain that I will see the Lord’s goodness
in the land of the living.

Davidic.Lord, I call to You;
my rock, do not be deaf to me.
If You remain silent to me,
I will be like those going down to the Pit.

Because they do not consider
what the Lord has done
or the work of His hands,
He will tear them down and not rebuild them.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
and Sirion, like a young wild ox.

A psalm; a dedication song for the house. Davidic.I will exalt You, Lord,
because You have lifted me up
and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me.

When I was secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”

“What gain is there in my death,
if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it proclaim Your truth?

so that I can sing to You and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise You forever.

You will free me from the net
that is secretly set for me,
for You are my refuge.

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

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

Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to You
at a time that You may be found.
When great floodwaters come,
they will not reach him.

I will instruct you and show you the way to go;
with My eye on you, I will give counsel.

Do not be like a horse or mule,
without understanding,
that must be controlled with bit and bridle
or else it will not come near you.

Many pains come to the wicked,
but the one who trusts in the Lord
will have faithful love surrounding him.

A king is not saved by a large army;
a warrior will not be delivered by great strength.

Concerning David, when he pretended to be insane in the presence of Abimelech, who drove him out, and he departed.I will praise the Lord at all times;
His praise will always be on my lips.

I will boast in the Lord;
the humble will hear and be glad.

Those who look to Him are radiant with joy;
their faces will never be ashamed.

Young lions lack food and go hungry,
but those who seek the Lord
will not lack any good thing.

Come, children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Evil brings death to the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be punished.

The Lord redeems the life of His servants,
and all who take refuge in Him will not be punished.

Then I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will delight in His deliverance.

My very bones will say,
“Lord, who is like You,
rescuing the poor from one too strong for him,
the poor or the needy from one who robs him?”

Lord, how long will You look on?
Rescue my life from their ravages,
my only one from the young lions.

I will praise You in the great congregation;
I will exalt You among many people.

And my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness,
Your praise all day long.

for with You is life’s fountain.
In Your light we will see light.

For they wither quickly like grass
and wilt like tender green plants.

Take delight in the Lord,
and He will give you your heart’s desires.

Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in Him, and He will act,

For evildoers will be destroyed,
but those who put their hope in the Lord
will inherit the land.

A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;
though you look for him, he will not be there.

But the humble will inherit the land
and will enjoy abundant prosperity.

Their swords will enter their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.

For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
but the Lord supports the righteous.

The Lord watches over the blameless all their days,
and their inheritance will last forever.

They will not be disgraced in times of adversity;
they will be satisfied in days of hunger.

But the wicked will perish;
the Lord’s enemies, like the glory of the pastures,
will fade away—
they will fade away like smoke.

Those who are blessed by Him will inherit the land,
but those cursed by Him will be destroyed.

Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed,
because the Lord holds his hand.

For the Lord loves justice
and will not abandon His faithful ones.
They are kept safe forever,
but the children of the wicked will be destroyed.

The righteous will inherit the land
and dwell in it permanently.

the Lord will not leave him
in the power of the wicked one
or allow him to be condemned when he is judged.

Wait for the Lord and keep His way,
and He will exalt you to inherit the land.
You will watch when the wicked are destroyed.

Watch the blameless and observe the upright,
for the man of peace will have a future.

But transgressors will all be eliminated;
the future of the wicked will be destroyed.

The Lord helps and delivers them;
He will deliver them from the wicked and will save them
because they take refuge in Him.

I put my hope in You, Lord;
You will answer, Lord my God.

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.”

“Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow.
Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain,
gathering possessions
without knowing who will get them.

He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the Lord.

I delight to do Your will, my God;
Your instruction lives within me.”

Lord, do not withhold Your compassion from me;
Your constant love and truth will always guard me.

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.Happy is one who cares for the poor;
the Lord will save him in a day of adversity.

The Lord will keep him and preserve him;
he will be blessed in the land.
You will not give him over to the desire of his enemies.

The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed;
You will heal him on the bed where he lies.

My enemies speak maliciously about me:
“When will he die and be forgotten?”

But You, Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up;
then I will repay them.

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

The Lord will send His faithful love by day;
His song will be with me in the night—
a prayer to the God of my life.

I will say to God, my rock,
“Why have You forgotten me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?”

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

Then I will come to the altar of God,
to God, my greatest joy.
I will praise You with the lyre,
God, my God.

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

We boast in God all day long;
we will praise Your name forever.Selah

and the king will desire your beauty.
Bow down to him, for he is your lord.

The daughter of Tyre, the wealthy people,
will seek your favor with gifts.

Your sons will succeed your ancestors;
you will make them princes throughout the land.

I will cause your name to be remembered for all generations;
therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.

Therefore we will not be afraid,
though the earth trembles
and the mountains topple
into the depths of the seas,

God is within her; she will not be toppled.
God will help her when the morning dawns.

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

“This God, our God forever and ever—
He will always lead us.”

But despite his assets, man will not last;
he is like the animals that perish.

Like sheep they are headed for Sheol;
Death will shepherd them.
The upright will rule over them in the morning,
and their form will waste away in Sheol,
far from their lofty abode.

But God will redeem my life
from the power of Sheol,
for He will take me.Selah

For when he dies, he will take nothing at all;
his wealth will not follow him down.

he will go to the generation of his fathers;
they will never see the light.

Our God is coming; He will not be silent!
Devouring fire precedes Him,
and a storm rages around Him.

“Listen, My people, and I will speak;
I will testify against you, Israel.
I am God, your God.

I will not accept a bull from your household
or male goats from your pens,

Call on Me in a day of trouble;
I will rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

You have done these things, and I kept silent;
you thought I was just like you.
But I will rebuke you
and lay out the case before you.

“Understand this, you who forget God,
or I will tear you apart,
and there will be no one to rescue you.

Whoever sacrifices a thank offering honors Me,
and whoever orders his conduct,
I will show him the salvation of God.”

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

Then I will teach the rebellious Your ways,
and sinners will return to You.

Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God,
the God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.
