¹A psalm of David. [1] The LORD is my shepherd; I have what I need.

²He lets me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters.

³He renews my life; he leads me along the right paths for his name’s sake.

⁴Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, 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.

⁶Only 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.

¹A psalm of David. [1] The earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to the LORD;

²for he laid its foundation on the seas and established it on the rivers.

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 has not appealed to what is false, and who has not sworn deceitfully.

⁵He will receive blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

⁷Lift up your heads, you gates! Rise up, ancient doors! Then the King of glory will come in.

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

⁹Lift up your heads, you gates! Rise up, ancient doors! Then the King of glory will come in.

¹⁰Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD of Armies, he is the King of glory. Selah

¹Of David. [1] LORD, I appeal to you.

²My God, I trust in you. Do not let me be disgraced; do not let my enemies gloat over me.

³No one who waits for you will be disgraced; those who act treacherously without cause will be disgraced.

⁴Make your ways known to me, LORD; teach me your paths.

⁵Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; I wait for you all day long.

⁶Remember, LORD, your compassion and your faithful love, for they have existed from antiquity.

⁷Do not remember the sins of my youth or my acts of rebellion; in keeping with your faithful love, remember me because of your goodness, LORD.

⁸The LORD is good and upright; therefore he shows sinners the way.

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

¹⁰All the LORD’s ways show faithful love and truth to those who keep his covenant and decrees.

¹¹LORD, for the sake of your name, forgive my iniquity, for it is immense.

¹²Who is this person who fears the LORD? He will show him the way he should choose.

¹³He will live a good life, and his descendants will inherit the land.

¹⁴The secret counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he reveals his covenant to them.

¹⁵My eyes are always on the LORD, for he will pull my feet out of the net.

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

¹⁷The distresses of my heart increase; bring me out of my sufferings.

¹⁸Consider my affliction and trouble, and forgive all my sins.

¹⁹Consider my enemies; they are numerous, and they hate me violently.

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

²¹May integrity and what is right watch over me, for I wait for you.

²²God, redeem Israel, from all its distresses.

¹Of David. [1] Vindicate me, LORD, because I have lived with integrity and have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

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

³For your faithful love guides me, and I live by your truth.

⁴I do not sit with the worthless or associate with hypocrites.

⁵I hate a crowd of evildoers, and I do not sit with the wicked.

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

⁷raising my voice in thanksgiving and telling about your wondrous works.

⁸LORD, I love the house where you dwell, the place where your glory resides.

⁹Do not destroy me along with sinners, or my life along with men of bloodshed

¹⁰in whose hands are evil schemes and whose right hands are filled with bribes.

¹¹But I live with integrity; redeem me and be gracious to me.

¹²My foot stands on level ground; I will bless the LORD in the assemblies.

¹Of David. [1] The LORD is my light and my salvation — whom should I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life — whom should I dread?

²When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh, my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell.

³Though an army deploys against me, my heart will not be afraid; though a war breaks out against me, I will still be confident.

⁴I 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.

⁵For he will conceal me in his shelter in the day of adversity; he will hide me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock.

⁶Then my head will be high above my enemies around me; I will offer sacrifices in his tent with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the LORD.

⁷LORD, hear my voice when I call; be gracious to me and answer me.

⁸My heart says this about you: “Seek his face.” LORD, I will seek your face.

⁹Do not hide your face from me; do not turn your servant away in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or abandon me, God of my salvation.

¹⁰Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD cares for me.

¹¹Because of my adversaries, show me your way, LORD, and lead me on a level path.

¹²Do not give me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing violence.

¹³I am certain that I will see the LORD’s goodness in the land of the living.

¹⁴Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart be courageous. Wait for the LORD.

¹Of David. [1] LORD, I call to you; my rock, do not be deaf to me. If you remain silent to me, I will be like those going down to the Pit.

²Listen to the sound of my pleading when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your holy sanctuary.

³Do not drag me away with the wicked, with the evildoers, who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

⁴Repay them according to what they have done — according to the evil of their deeds. Repay them according to the work of their hands; give them back what they deserve.

⁵Because they do not consider what the LORD has done or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and not rebuild them.

⁶Blessed be the LORD, for he has heard the sound of my pleading.

⁷The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart celebrates, and I give thanks to him with my song.

⁸The LORD is the strength of his people; he is a stronghold of salvation for his anointed.

⁹Save your people, bless your possession, shepherd them, and carry them forever.

¹A psalm of David. [1] 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 above the waters. The God of glory thunders — the LORD, above the vast water,

⁴the voice of the LORD in power, the voice of the LORD in splendor.

⁵The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

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

⁷The voice of the LORD flashes flames of fire.

⁸The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

⁹The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth and strips the woodlands bare. In his temple all cry, “Glory!”

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

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

¹A psalm; a dedication song for the house. Of David. [1] I will exalt you, LORD, because you have lifted me up and have not allowed my enemies to triumph over me.

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

³LORD, you brought me up from Sheol; you spared me from among those going down to the Pit.

⁴Sing to the LORD, you his faithful ones, and praise his holy name.

⁵For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor, a lifetime. Weeping may stay overnight, but there is joy in the morning.

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

⁷LORD, when you showed your favor, you made me stand like a strong mountain; when you hid your face, I was terrified.

⁸LORD, I called to you; I sought favor from my Lord:

⁹“What gain is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your truth?

¹⁰LORD, listen and be gracious to me; LORD, be my helper.”

¹¹You turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

¹²so that I can sing to you and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.

¹For the choir director. A psalm of David. [1] LORD, I seek refuge in you; let me never be disgraced. Save me by your righteousness.

²Listen closely to me; rescue me quickly. Be a rock of refuge for me, a mountain fortress to save me.

³For you are my rock and my fortress; you lead and guide me for your name’s sake.

⁴You will free me from the net that is secretly set for me, for you are my refuge.

⁵Into your hand I entrust my spirit; you have redeemed me, LORD, God of truth.

⁶I hate those who are devoted to worthless idols, but I trust in the LORD.

⁷I will rejoice and be glad in your faithful love because you have seen my affliction. You know the troubles of my soul

⁸and have not handed me over to the enemy. You have set my feet in a spacious place.

⁹Be gracious to me, LORD, because I am in distress; my eyes are worn out from frustration — my whole being as well.

¹⁰Indeed, my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my strength has failed because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.

¹¹I am ridiculed by all my adversaries and even by my neighbors. I am dreaded by my acquaintances; those who see me in the street run from me.

¹²I am forgotten: gone from memory like a dead person — like broken pottery.

¹³I have heard the gossip of many; terror is on every side. When they conspired against me, they plotted to take my life.

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

¹⁵The course of my life is in your power; rescue me from the power of my enemies and from my persecutors.

¹⁶Make your face shine on your servant; save me by your faithful love.

¹⁷LORD, do not let me be disgraced when I call on you. Let the wicked be disgraced; let them be quiet in Sheol.

¹⁸Let lying lips that arrogantly speak against the righteous in proud contempt be silenced.

¹⁹How 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.

²⁰You hide them in the protection of your presence; you conceal them in a shelter from human schemes, from quarrelsome tongues.

²¹Blessed be the LORD, for he has wondrously shown his faithful love to me in a city under siege.

²²In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from your sight.” But you heard the sound of my pleading when I cried to you for help.

²³Love the LORD, all his faithful ones. The LORD protects the loyal, but fully repays the arrogant.

²⁴Be strong, and let your heart be courageous, all you who put your hope in the LORD.

¹Of David. A . [1] How joyful is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered!

²How joyful is a person whom the LORD does not charge with iniquity and in whose spirit is no deceit!

³When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

⁴For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was drained as in the summer’s heat. Selah

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

⁶Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to you immediately. When great floodwaters come, they will not reach him.

⁷You are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with joyful shouts of deliverance. Selah

⁸I will instruct you and show you the way to go; with my eye on you, I will give counsel.

⁹Do not be like a horse or mule, without understanding, that must be controlled with bit and bridle or else it will not come near you.

¹⁰Many pains come to the wicked, but the one who trusts in the LORD will have faithful love surrounding him.

¹¹Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

¹Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones; praise from the upright is beautiful.

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

³Sing a new song to him; play skillfully on the strings, with a joyful shout.

⁴For the word of the LORD is right, and all his work is trustworthy.

⁵He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the LORD’s unfailing love.

⁶The heavens were made by the word of the LORD, and all the stars, by the breath of his mouth.

⁷He gathers the water of the sea into a heap; he puts the depths into storehouses.

⁸Let the whole earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

⁹For he spoke, and it came into being; he commanded, and it came into existence.

¹⁰The LORD frustrates the counsel of the nations; he thwarts the plans of the peoples.

¹¹The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart from generation to generation.

¹²Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD  — the people he has chosen to be his own possession!

¹³The LORD looks down from heaven; he observes everyone.

¹⁴He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth from his dwelling place.

¹⁵He forms the hearts of them all; he considers all their works.

¹⁶A king is not saved by a large army; a warrior will not be rescued by great strength.

¹⁷The horse is a false hope for safety; it provides no escape by its great power.

¹⁸But look, the LORD keeps his eye on those who fear him — those who depend on his faithful love

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

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

²¹For our hearts rejoice in him because we trust in his holy name.

²²May your faithful love rest on us, LORD, for we put our hope in you.

¹Concerning David, when he pretended to be insane in the presence of Abimelech, who drove him out, and he departed. [1] I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

²I will boast in the LORD; the humble will hear and be glad.

³Proclaim the LORD’s greatness with me; let us exalt his name together.

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

⁵Those who look to him are radiant with joy; their faces will never be ashamed.

⁶This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him from all his troubles.

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

⁸Taste and see that the LORD is good. How happy is the person who takes refuge in him!

⁹You who are his holy ones, fear the LORD, for those who fear him lack nothing.

¹⁰Young lions lack food and go hungry, but those who seek the LORD will not lack any good thing.

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

¹²Who is someone who desires life, loving a long life to enjoy what is good?

¹³Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.

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

¹⁵The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry for help.

¹⁶The face of the LORD is set against those who do what is evil, to remove all memory of them from the earth.

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

¹⁸The LORD is near the brokenhearted; he saves those crushed in spirit.

¹⁹One who is righteous has many adversities, but the LORD rescues him from them all.

²⁰He protects all his bones; not one of them is broken.

²¹Evil brings death to the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be punished.

²²The LORD redeems the life of his servants, and all who take refuge in him will not be punished.

¹Of David. [1] Oppose my opponents, LORD; fight those who fight me.

²Take your shields — large and small — and come to my aid.

³Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers, and assure me: “I am your deliverance.”

⁴Let those who intend to take my life be disgraced and humiliated; let those who plan to harm me be turned back and ashamed.

⁵Let them be like chaff in the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them away.

⁶Let their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.

⁷They hid their net for me without cause; they dug a pit for me without cause.

⁸Let ruin come on him unexpectedly, and let the net that he hid ensnare him; let him fall into it — to his ruin.

⁹Then I will rejoice in the LORD; I will delight in his deliverance.

¹⁰All my 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?”

¹¹Malicious witnesses come forward; they question me about things I do not know.

¹²They repay me evil for good, making me desolate.

¹³Yet when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, and my prayer was genuine.

¹⁴I went about mourning as if for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for a mother.

¹⁵But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee; they gathered against me. Assailants I did not know tore at me and did not stop.

¹⁶With godless mockery they gnashed their teeth at me.

¹⁷Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue me from their ravages; rescue my precious life from the young lions.

¹⁸I will praise you in the great assembly; I will exalt you among many people.

¹⁹Do not let my deceitful enemies rejoice over me; do not let those who hate me without cause wink at me maliciously.

²⁰For they do not speak in friendly ways, but contrive fraudulent schemes against those who live peacefully in the land.

²¹They open their mouths wide against me and say, “Aha, aha! We saw it!”

²²You saw it, LORD; do not be silent. Lord, do not be far from me.

²³Wake up and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!

²⁴Vindicate me, LORD my God, in keeping with your righteousness, and do not let them rejoice over me.

²⁵Do not let them say in their hearts, “Aha! Just what we wanted.” Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”

²⁶Let those who rejoice at my misfortune be disgraced and humiliated; let those who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and reproach.

²⁷Let those who want my vindication shout for joy and be glad; let them continually say, “The LORD be exalted. He takes pleasure in his servant’s well-being.”

²⁸And my tongue will proclaim your righteousness, your praise all day long.
