Do not hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.

Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake.

Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants' blood is being poured out.

Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might. Come to save us.

Restore us, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.

Restore us, God of Hosts. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.

Restore us, LORD God of Hosts. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

"Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more."

Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.

who said, "Let us take possession of God's pasturelands."

As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.

Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For the LORD God is a sun and a shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

LORD of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.

Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?

Won't you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

Show us your loving kindness, LORD. Grant us your salvation.

Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.

There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.

For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Those who sing as well as those who dance say, "All my springs are in you."

For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol.

Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?

I indeed declare, "Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them."

For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the sons of God is like the LORD,

LORD, God of Hosts, who is a mighty one like you, LORD? Your faithfulness is around you.

The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours; the world and its fullness. You have founded them.

You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.

I will also make his seed endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

Remember how short my time is. For what vanity have you created all the children of men.

What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.

For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.

You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.

In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.

For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.

Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.

I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."

He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, Most High;

though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

to show that the LORD is upright. He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

The LORD reigns. He is clothed with majesty. The LORD is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can't be moved.

Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting.

Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, The LORD on high is mighty.

Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?

Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, and teach out of your Law;

that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.

When I said, "My foot is slipping." Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up.

For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.

The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice.

Do not harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, "It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways."

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.

Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

Let the field and all that is in it exult. Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

The LORD is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy.

Exalt the LORD our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy.

Exalt the LORD, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for the LORD, our God, is holy.

Know that the LORD, he is God. It is he who has made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

For the LORD is good. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations.

I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a firebrand.

My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.

I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.

My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.

You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.

Praise the LORD, my soul. All that is within me, praise his holy name.

who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.

But the LORD's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children;

He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.

The LORD, how many are your works. In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
