Keep me safe, God, for I take refuge in you.

I told the LORD, "You are my master, I have nothing good apart from you."

Those who hurry after another god will have many sorrows; I will not present their drink offerings of blood, nor will my lips speak their names.

I call upon you, for you will answer me, God. Listen closely to me and hear my prayer.

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my God, my stronghold in whom I take refuge, my shield, the glory of my salvation, and my high tower."

In my distress I cried to the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his Temple he heard my voice; my cry reached his ears.

because I have kept the ways of the LORD, and I have not wickedly departed from my God;

For you, LORD, make my lamp shine; my God enlightens my darkness.

With your help I will run through an army, with help from my God I leap over walls.

As for God, his way is upright; the word of God is pure; he is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

For who is God but the LORD, and who is a Rock other than our God?

the God who clothes me with strength, and who makes my way upright;

The LORD lives! Blessed be my Rock! May the God of my deliverance be exalted!

He is the God who executes vengeance on my behalf; who destroys nations under me;

The heavens are declaring the glory of God, and their expanse shows the work of his hands.

May the LORD answer you in the day of distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

May we shout for joy at your deliverance and unfurl our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

Some boast in chariots, others in horses; but we will boast in the name of the LORD our God.

My God! My God! Why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far from delivering me from my groaning words?

My God, I cry out to you throughout the day, but you do not answer; and throughout the night, but I have no rest.

I was dependent on you from birth; from my mother's womb you have been my God.

He causes me to lie down in pastures of green grass; he guides me beside quiet waters.

This person will receive blessing from the LORD and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

I trust in you, my God, do not let me be ashamed; do not let my enemies triumph over me.

Guide me in your truth and teach me; for you are the God who delivers me. All day long I have waited for you.

The LORD is good and just; therefore he will teach sinners concerning the way.

Who is the man who fears the LORD? God will teach him the path he should choose.

He will experience good things; his descendants will inherit the earth.

Redeem Israel, God, from all its troubles. Davidic

Do not hide your face from me; do not turn away in anger from your servant. You have been my help, therefore do not abandon or forsake me, God of my salvation.

The voice of the LORD was heard above the waters; the God of glory thundered; the LORD was heard over many waters.

LORD, my God! I cried out to you for help and you healed me.

so that I may sing praise to you and not remain silent. LORD, my God, I will give you thanks forever! To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.

Into your hands I commit my spirit; for you have redeemed me, LORD God of truth.

But I trust in you, LORD. I say, "You are my God."

When I said in my panic, "I have been cut off in your sight," then you surely heard the voice of my prayer in my plea to you for help.

How blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he has chosen as his own inheritance.

Taste and see that the LORD is good! How blessed is the person who trusts in him!

Young lions lack and go hungry, but those who seek the LORD will never lack any good thing.

Who among you desires life, and wants long life in order to see good?

Avoid evil and do good! Seek peace and pursue it!

God protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken.

They paid me back evil for good; my soul mourns.

Wake up! Arouse yourself to vindicate me and argue my case, my God and my Lord.

Judge me according to your righteousness, LORD my God! But do not let them gloat over me.

Don't let them say in their hearts, "Yes! We got what we wanted." Don't let them say, "We have swallowed him up."

An oracle that came to me about the transgressions of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

The words from his mouth are vain and deceptive. He has abandoned behaving wisely and doing good.

He devises iniquity on his bed and is determined to follow a path that is not good. He does not resist evil.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your justice is like the great depths of the sea. You deliver both people and animals, LORD.

How precious is your gracious love, God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

There, those who do evil have fallen; They have been thrown down, and they cannot get up. Davidic

Trust in the LORD and do good. Dwell in the land and feed on faithfulness.

For those blessed by God will inherit the land, but those cursed by him will be cut off.

Depart from evil, and do good, and you will live in the land forever.

Indeed, the LORD loves justice, and he will not abandon his godly ones. They are kept safe forever, but the lawless will be chased away, and the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.

The instruction of his God is in his heart; his steps will not slip.

Wait on the LORD, Keep faithful to his way, and he will exalt you to possess the land. You will see the wicked cut off.

Sinners will be destroyed together; the future of the wicked will be cut off.

Because I have placed my hope in you, LORD, you will answer, Lord, my God.

They reward my good with evil, opposing me because I seek to do good.

Don't forsake me, LORD. My God, do not be so distant from me.

I was as silent as a mute person; I said nothing, not even something good, and my distress deepened.

In fact, people walk around as shadows. Surely, they busy themselves for nothing, heaping up possessions but not knowing who will get them.

He put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God! Many will watch and be in awe, and they will place their trust in the LORD.

LORD, my God, You have done great things: marvelous works and your thoughts toward us. There is no one who compares to you! I will try to recite your actions, even though there are too many to number.

I delight to do your will, my God. Your Law is part of my inner being."

In the great congregation I have proclaimed the righteous good news. Behold, I did not seal my lips, LORD, as you know.

But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think about me. You are my help and deliverer. My God, do not tarry too long! To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, from eternity to eternity. Amen and amen! To the Director: An instruction of the Sons of Korah.

As an antelope pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When may I come and appear in God's presence?

My tears have been my food day and night, while people keep asking me all day long, "Where is your God?"

These things I will recall as I pour out my troubles within me: I used to go with the crowd in a procession to the house of God, accompanied with shouts of joy and thanksgiving.

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for once again I will praise him, since his presence saves me.

My God, my soul feels depressed within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of Jordan, from the heights of Hermon, even from the foothills.

By day the LORD will command his gracious love, and by night his song is with me a prayer to the God of my life.

I will ask God, my Rock, "Why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy's oppression?"

Like the shattering of my bones are the taunts of my oppressors, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for once again I will praise him, since his presence saves me and he is my God.

You be my judge, God, and plead my case against an unholy nation; rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man.

Since you are the God who strengthens me, why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy's oppression?"

Then I will approach the altar of God, even to God in whom my joy finds its source. Then I will praise you with the lyre, God, my God,

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will praise him once again, since his presence saves me and he is my God. To the Director: An instruction of the Sons of Korah.

God, we heard it with our ears; our ancestors told us about what you did in their day a long time ago.

You are my king, God, command victories for Jacob.

We will praise God all day long; and to your name we will give thanks forever. Interlude

If we had forgotten the name of our God or lifted our hands to a foreign god,

wouldn't God find out since he knows the secrets of the heart?

Wake up! Why are you asleep, Lord? Get up! Don't cast us off forever!

My heart is overflowing with good news; I speak what I have composed to the king; my tongue is like the pen of an articulate scribe.

You are the most handsome of Adam's descendants; grace has anointed your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.

Your throne, God, exists forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is a righteous scepter.

You love justice and hate wickedness. That is why God, even your God, has anointed you rather than your companions with the oil of gladness.

God is our refuge and strength, a great help in times of distress.

Look! There is a river whose streams make the city of God rejoice, even the Holy Place of the Most High.

Since God is in her midst, she will not be shaken. God will help her at the break of dawn.

The LORD of the heavenly armies is with us; our refuge is the God of Jacob. Interlude

Be in awe and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted throughout the earth.

The LORD of the heavenly armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Interlude To the Director: A song by the Sons of Korah.
