Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will act.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright in the way.

Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.

They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

The steps of a man are established by the LORD, and he delights in his way.

The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.

The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

Wait for the LORD, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

The LORD helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in him.

LORD, do not rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.

Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For in you, LORD, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.

For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."

"Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn't know who shall gather.

Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.

When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, You consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath." Selah.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Then I said, "Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll of a book.

I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let the LORD be exalted."

Blessed is he who considers the poor. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

I said, "LORD, have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you."

My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?"

If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

"An evil disease," they say, "has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more."

Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God. For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.

My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.

The LORD will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.

As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God. For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God.

Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God. For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.

We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the days of old.

For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.

For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

In God we have made our boast all day long, we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.

At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.

All this has come on us, yet have we not forgotten you, Neither have we been false to your covenant.

Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.

won't God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

Gird your sword on your thigh, mighty one: your splendor and your majesty.

In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king's enemies.

Kings' daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.

Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father's house.

She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.

Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.

I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

God is in her midst. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

Come, see the LORD's works, what desolations he has made in the earth.

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.

"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth."

God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.

God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.

We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.

I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp.

Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches?

That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.

Do not be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased.

For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.

Though while he lived he blessed his soul?and men praise you when you do well for yourself?

The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks, and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.

For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.

If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

But to the wicked God says, "What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,

When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.

You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.

You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.

Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.
