The Lord is King forever and ever;
the nations will perish from His land.

The Lord is in His holy temple;
the Lord’s throne is in heaven.
His eyes watch; He examines everyone.

For the Lord is righteous; He loves righteous deeds.
The upright will see His face.

You, Lord, will guard us;
You will protect us from this generation forever.

The wicked wander everywhere,
and what is worthless is exalted by the human race.

For the choir director. Davidic.The fool says in his heart, “God does not exist.”
They are corrupt; they do vile deeds.
There is no one who does good.

The Lord looks down from heaven on the human race
to see if there is one who is wise,
one who seeks God.

All have turned away;
all alike have become corrupt.
There is no one who does good,
not even one.

Will evildoers never understand?
They consume My people as they consume bread;
they do not call on the Lord.

Then they will be filled with terror,
for God is with those who are righteous.

You sinners frustrate the plans of the afflicted,
but the Lord is his refuge.

As for the holy people who are in the land,
they are the noble ones.
All my delight is in them.

I keep the Lord in mind always.
Because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad
and my spirit rejoices;
my body also rests securely.

You reveal the path of life to me;
in Your presence is abundant joy;
in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.

Let my vindication come from You,
for You see what is right.

Protect me as the pupil of Your eye;
hide me in the shadow of Your wings

With Your hand, Lord, save me from men,
from men of the world
whose portion is in this life:
You fill their bellies with what You have in store;
their sons are satisfied,
and they leave their surplus to their children.

The Lord is my rock,
my fortress, and my deliverer,
my God, my mountain where I seek refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold.

I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I was saved from my enemies.

God—His way is perfect;
the word of the Lord is pure.
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

For who is God besides Yahweh?
And who is a rock? Only our God.

They cry for help, but there is no one to save them—
they cry to the Lord, but He does not answer them.

Foreigners submit to me grudgingly;
as soon as they hear, they obey me.

The Lord lives—may my rock be praised!
The God of my salvation is exalted.

There is no speech; there are no words;
their voice is not heard.

It is like a groom coming from the bridal chamber;
it rejoices like an athlete running a course.

It rises from one end of the heavens
and circles to their other end;
nothing is hidden from its heat.

The instruction of the Lord is perfect,
renewing one’s life;
the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy,
making the inexperienced wise.

The precepts of the Lord are right,
making the heart glad;
the command of the Lord is radiant,
making the eyes light up.

The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever;
the ordinances of the Lord are reliable
and altogether righteous.

In addition, Your servant is warned by them;
there is great reward in keeping them.

Let us shout for joy at your victory
and lift the banner in the name of our God.
May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.

Lord, give victory to the king!
May He answer us on the day that we call.

His glory is great through Your victory;
You confer majesty and splendor on him.

For the king relies on the Lord;
through the faithful love of the Most High
he is not shaken.

Do not be far from me, because distress is near
and there is no one to help.

I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are disjointed;
my heart is like wax,
melting within me.

My strength is dried up like baked clay;
my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
You put me into the dust of death.

A Davidic psalm.The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I lack.

Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
as long as I live.

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who has not set his mind on what is false,
and who has not sworn deceitfully.

Such is the generation of those who seek Him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob.Selah

Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, mighty in battle.

Who is He, this King of glory?
The Lord of Hosts,
He is the King of glory.Selah

The Lord is good and upright;
therefore He shows sinners the way.

He leads the humble in what is right
and teaches them His way.

Because of Your name, Yahweh,
forgive my sin, for it is great.

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

The secret counsel of the Lord
is for those who fear Him,
and He reveals His covenant to them.

For Your faithful love is before my eyes,
and I live by Your truth.

in whose hands are evil schemes
and whose right hands are filled with bribes.

Davidic.The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom should I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom should I be afraid?

Though an army deploys against me,
my heart is not afraid;
though a war breaks out against me,
still I am confident.

I have asked one thing from the Lord;
it is what I desire:
to dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
gazing on the beauty of the Lord
and seeking Him in His temple.

Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with the evildoers,
who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors
while malice is in their hearts.

The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.
Therefore my heart rejoices,
and I praise Him with my song.

The Lord is the strength of His people;
He is a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.

The voice of the Lord is above the waters.
The God of glory thunders—
the Lord, above vast waters,

For His anger lasts only a moment,
but His favor, a lifetime.
Weeping may spend the night,
but there is joy in the morning.

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

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

Be gracious to me, Lord,
because I am in distress;
my eyes are worn out from angry sorrow—
my whole being as well.

Indeed, my life is consumed with grief
and my years with groaning;
my strength has failed
because of my sinfulness,
and my bones waste away.

I have heard the gossip of many;
terror is on every side.
When they conspired against me,
they plotted to take my life.

The course of my life is in Your power;
deliver me from the power of my enemies
and from my persecutors.

How great is Your goodness
that You have stored up for those who fear You
and accomplished in the sight of everyone
for those who take refuge in You.

Davidic. A Maskil.How joyful is the one
whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered!

How joyful is the man
the Lord does not charge with sin
and in whose spirit is no deceit!

For day and night Your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was drained
as in the summer’s heat.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.

Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones;
praise from the upright is beautiful.

For the word of the Lord is right,
and all His work is trustworthy.

He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the Lord’s unfailing love.

Happy is the nation whose God is Yahweh—
the people He has chosen to be His own possession!

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

The horse is a false hope for safety;
it provides no escape by its great power.

Now the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him—
those who depend on His faithful love

We wait for Yahweh;
He is our help and shield.

May Your faithful love rest on us, Yahweh,
for we put our hope in You.

Proclaim Yahweh’s greatness with me;
let us exalt His name together.

Taste and see that the Lord is good.
How happy is the man who takes refuge in Him!

Who is the man who delights in life,
loving a long life to enjoy what is good?

Turn away from evil and do what is good;
seek peace and pursue it.

The face of the Lord is set
against those who do what is evil,
to erase all memory of them from the earth.

The Lord is near the brokenhearted;
He saves those crushed in spirit.

Many adversities come to the one who is righteous,
but the Lord delivers him from them all.

He protects all his bones;
not one of them is broken.

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?”

I went about grieving as if for my friend or brother;
I was bowed down with grief,
like one mourning a mother.

For the choir director. A psalm of David, the Lord’s servant.An oracle within my heart
concerning the transgression of the wicked person:
There is no dread of God before his eyes,

Even on his bed he makes malicious plans.
He sets himself on a path that is not good
and does not reject evil.

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains;
Your judgments, like the deepest sea.
Lord, You preserve man and beast.

God, Your faithful love is so valuable
that people take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

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

Trust in the Lord and do what is good;
dwell in the land and live securely.

The Lord laughs at him
because He sees that his day is coming.

The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the bow
to bring down the afflicted and needy
and to slaughter those whose way is upright.

The wicked man borrows and does not repay,
but the righteous one is gracious and giving.

He is always generous, always lending,
and his children are a blessing.
