Book Order Plan

¹My soul waits in silence for God alone; From Him comes my salvation.

²He alone is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken.

³How long will you attack a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

⁴They have planned only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah

⁵My soul, wait in silence for God alone, For my hope is from Him.

⁶He alone is my rock and my salvation, My refuge; I will not be shaken.

⁷My salvation and my glory rest on God; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

⁸Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your hearts before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

⁹People of low standing are only breath, and people of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up. Together they are lighter than breath.

¹⁰Do not trust in oppression, And do not vainly rely on robbery; If wealth increases, do not set your heart on it.

¹¹God has spoken once; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God;

¹²And faithfulness is Yours, Lord, For You reward a person according to his work.

¹God, You are my God; I shall be watching for You; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and exhausted land where there is no water.

²So have I seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and glory.

³Because Your favor is better than life, My lips will praise You.

⁴So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

⁵My soul is satisfied as with fat and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

⁶When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches,

⁷For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.

⁸My soul clings to You; Your right hand takes hold of me.

⁹But those who seek my life to destroy it, Will go into the depths of the earth.

¹⁰They will be turned over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes.

¹¹But the king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will boast, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

¹Hear my voice, God, in my complaint; Protect my life from dread of the enemy.

²Hide me from the secret discussion of evildoers, From the restlessness of the workers of injustice,

³Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrows,

⁴To shoot from concealment at the innocent; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.

⁵They make firm for themselves an evil purpose; They talk of setting snares secretly; They say, “Who can see them?”

⁶They devise injustices, saying, “We are ready with a well-conceived plot”; For the inward thought and the heart of a person are deep.

⁷But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly they will be wounded.

⁸So they will make him stumble; Their own tongue is against them; All who see them will shake their heads.

⁹Then all people will fear, And they will declare the work of God, And will consider what He has done.

¹⁰The righteous person will be glad in the LORD and take refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart will boast.

¹There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion, God, And the vow will be fulfilled for You.

²You who hear prayer, To You all mankind comes.

³Wrongdoings prevail against me; As for our offenses, You forgive them.

⁴Blessed is the one You choose and allow to approach You; He will dwell in Your courtyards. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.

⁵By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and the farthest sea;

⁶Who establishes the mountains by His strength, Who is encircled with might;

⁷Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the turmoil of the nations.

⁸They who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the sunrise and the sunset shout for joy.

⁹You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, for so You prepare the earth.

¹⁰You water its furrows abundantly, You settle its ridges, You soften it with showers, You bless its growth.

¹¹You have crowned the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with fatness.

¹²The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills encircle themselves with rejoicing.

¹³The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy, yes, they sing.

¹Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

²Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious.

³Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will pretend to obey You.

⁴All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name.” Selah

⁵Come and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of mankind.

⁶He turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river on foot; Let’s rejoice there, in Him!

⁷He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; The rebellious shall not exalt themselves! Selah

⁸Bless our God, you peoples, And sound His praise abroad,

⁹Who keeps us in life, And does not allow our feet to slip.

¹⁰For You have put us to the test, God; You have refined us as silver is refined.

¹¹You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon us.

¹²You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water. Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.

¹³I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows,

¹⁴Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.

¹⁵I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat animals, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah

¹⁶Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.

¹⁷I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was exalted with my tongue.

¹⁸If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear;

¹⁹But God has heard; He has given attention to the sound of my prayer.

²⁰Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His favor from me.

¹God be gracious to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us— Selah

²That Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations.

³May the peoples praise You, God; May all the peoples praise You.

⁴May the nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will judge the peoples with fairness And guide the nations on the earth. Selah

⁵May the peoples praise You, God; May all the peoples praise You.

⁶The earth has yielded its produce; God, our God, blesses us.

⁷God blesses us, So that all the ends of the earth may fear Him.

¹May God arise, may His enemies be scattered, And may those who hate Him flee from His presence.

²As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before a fire, So the wicked will perish before God.

³But the righteous will be joyful; they will rejoice before God; Yes, they will rejoice with gladness.

⁴Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Exalt Him who rides through the deserts, Whose name is the LORD, and be jubilant before Him.

⁵A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy dwelling.

⁶God makes a home for the lonely; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious live in parched lands.

⁷God, when You went forth before Your people, When You marched through the desert, Selah

⁸The earth quaked; The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

⁹You made plentiful rain fall, God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched.

¹⁰Your creatures settled in it; In Your kindness You provided for the poor, God.

¹¹The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim good news are a great army:

¹²“Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will divide the spoils!”

¹³When you lie down among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold.

¹⁴When the Almighty scattered the kings there, It was snowing in Zalmon.

¹⁵The mountain of Bashan is a mountain of God; The mountain of Bashan is a mountain of many peaks.

¹⁶Why do you look with envy, you mountains of many peaks, At the mountain God has desired as His dwelling? Indeed, the LORD will dwell there forever.

¹⁷The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.

¹⁸You have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives; You have received gifts among people, Even among the rebellious as well, that the LORD God may dwell there.

¹⁹Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Selah

²⁰God is to us a God of salvation; And to GOD the Lord belong ways of escape from death.

²¹God certainly will shatter the heads of His enemies, The hairy head of one who goes about in his guilt.

²²The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan. I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,

²³So that your foot may shatter them in blood, And the tongue of your dogs may have its portion from your enemies.”

²⁴They have seen Your procession, God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

²⁵The singers went on, the musicians after them, In the midst of the young women beating tambourines.

²⁶Bless God in the congregations, Even the LORD, you who are of the fountain of Israel.

²⁷Benjamin, the youngest, is there, ruling them, The leaders of Judah in their company, The leaders of Zebulun, the leaders of Naphtali.

²⁸Your God has commanded your strength; Show Yourself strong, God, You who acted in our behalf.

²⁹Because of Your temple at Jerusalem Kings will bring gifts to You.

³⁰Rebuke the animals in the reeds, The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, Trampling the pieces of silver; He has scattered the peoples who delight in war.

³¹Messengers will come from Egypt; Cush will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

³²Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth, Sing praises to the Lord, Selah

³³To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, He speaks with His voice, a mighty voice.

³⁴Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel, And His strength is in the skies.

³⁵God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!
