¹A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

²He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

³he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.

⁴Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

⁵You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

⁶Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

¹Of David. A psalm. The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;

²for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.

³Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place?

⁴The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.

⁵They will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God their Savior.

⁶Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob.

⁷Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.

⁸Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

⁹Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.

¹⁰Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty— he is the King of glory.

¹Of David. In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.

²I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

³No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

⁴Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.

⁵Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

⁶Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.

⁷Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, LORD, are good.

⁸Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

⁹He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.

¹⁰All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.

¹¹For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

¹²Who, then, are those who fear the LORD? He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.

¹³They will spend their days in prosperity, and their descendants will inherit the land.

¹⁴The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.

¹⁵My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.

¹⁶Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.

¹⁷Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish.

¹⁸Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.

¹⁹See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me!

²⁰Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.

²¹May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, LORD, is in you.

²²Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles!

¹Of David. Vindicate me, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD and have not faltered.

²Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;

³for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.

⁴I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.

⁵I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.

⁶I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD,

⁷proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.

⁸LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.

⁹Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty,

¹⁰in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

¹¹I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me.

¹²My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the LORD.

¹Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

²When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.

³Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.

⁴One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.

⁵For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.

⁶Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.

⁷Hear my voice when I call, LORD; be merciful to me and answer me.

⁸My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek.

⁹Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior.

¹⁰Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

¹¹Teach me your way, LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.

¹²Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations.

¹³I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

¹⁴Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

¹Of David. To you, LORD, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit.

²Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

³Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts.

⁴Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve.

⁵Because they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.

⁶Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.

⁷The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

⁸The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.

⁹Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.

¹A psalm of David. Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

²Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.

³The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.

⁴The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.

⁵The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶He makes Lebanon leap like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.

⁷The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning.

⁸The voice of the LORD shakes the desert; the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.

⁹The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

¹⁰The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

¹¹The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.

¹A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt you, LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.

²LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.

³You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit.

⁴Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people; praise his holy name.

⁵For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

⁶When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.”

⁷LORD, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.

⁸To you, LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy:

⁹“What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?

¹⁰Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me; LORD, be my help.”

¹¹You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

¹²that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.

¹For the director of music. A psalm of David. In you, LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness.

²Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.

³Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

⁴Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge.

⁵Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, LORD, my faithful God.

⁶I hate those who cling to worthless idols; as for me, I trust in the LORD.

⁷I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul.

⁸You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.

⁹Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief.

¹⁰My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak.

¹¹Because of all my enemies, I am the utter contempt of my neighbors and an object of dread to my closest friends— those who see me on the street flee from me.

¹²I am forgotten as though I were dead; I have become like broken pottery.

¹³For I hear many whispering, “Terror on every side!” They conspire against me and plot to take my life.

¹⁴But I trust in you, LORD; I say, “You are my God.”

¹⁵My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.

¹⁶Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.

¹⁷Let me not be put to shame, LORD, for I have cried out to you; but let the wicked be put to shame and be silent in the realm of the dead.

¹⁸Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous.

¹⁹How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you.

²⁰In the shelter of your presence you hide them from all human intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues.

²¹Praise be to the LORD, for he showed me the wonders of his love when I was in a city under siege.

²²In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from your sight!” Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help.

²³Love the LORD, all his faithful people! The LORD preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full.

²⁴Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.

¹Of David. A maskil. Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

²Blessed is the one whose sin the LORD does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.

³When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

⁴For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.

⁵Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.

⁶Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.

⁷You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

⁸I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

⁹Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.

¹⁰Many are the woes of the wicked, but the LORD’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him.

¹¹Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!

¹Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.

²Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.

³Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.

⁴For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.

⁵The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

⁶By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

⁷He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses.

⁸Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him.

⁹For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.

¹⁰The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.

¹¹But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.

¹³From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;

¹⁴from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—

¹⁵he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.

¹⁶No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.

¹⁷A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.

¹⁸But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

¹⁹to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

²⁰We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.

²¹In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.

²²May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you.

¹Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left. I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

²I will glory in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

³Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.

⁴I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

⁵Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

⁶This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.

⁷The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.

⁸Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

⁹Fear the LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.

¹⁰The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

¹¹Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

¹²Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,

¹³keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.

¹⁴Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

¹⁵The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry;

¹⁶but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth.

¹⁷The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

¹⁸The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

¹⁹The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;

²⁰he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.

²¹Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned.

²²The LORD will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

¹Of David. Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me.

²Take up shield and armor; arise and come to my aid.

³Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to me, “I am your salvation.”

⁴May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay.

⁵May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them away;

⁶may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.

⁷Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me,

⁸may ruin overtake them by surprise— may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.

⁹Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and delight in his salvation.

¹⁰My whole being will exclaim, “Who is like you, LORD? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them.”

¹¹Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about.

¹²They repay me evil for good and leave me like one bereaved.

¹³Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered,

¹⁴I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother. I bowed my head in grief as though weeping for my mother.

¹⁵But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee; assailants gathered against me without my knowledge. They slandered me without ceasing.

¹⁶Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked; they gnashed their teeth at me.

¹⁷How long, Lord, will you look on? Rescue me from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.

¹⁸I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among the throngs I will praise you.

¹⁹Do not let those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause; do not let those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye.

²⁰They do not speak peaceably, but devise false accusations against those who live quietly in the land.

²¹They sneer at me and say, “Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we have seen it.”

²²LORD, you have seen this; do not be silent. Do not be far from me, Lord.

²³Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord.

²⁴Vindicate me in your righteousness, LORD my God; do not let them gloat over me.

²⁵Do not let them think, “Aha, just what we wanted!” or say, “We have swallowed him up.”

²⁶May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame and confusion; may all who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace.

²⁷May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “The LORD be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant.”

²⁸My tongue will proclaim your righteousness, your praises all day long.
