⁸Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, as on that day at Massah in the wilderness

⁹where your fathers tested me; they tried me, though they had seen what I did.

¹⁰For forty years I was disgusted with that generation; I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray; they do not know my ways.”

¹¹So I swore in my anger, “They will not enter my rest.”

¹[1] Sing a new song to the LORD; let the whole earth sing to the LORD.

⁶My eyes favor the faithful of the land so that they may sit down with me. The one who follows the way of integrity may serve me.

⁷No one who acts deceitfully will live in my palace; the one who tells lies will not be retained here to guide me.

⁸Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, wiping out all evildoers from the LORD’s city.

¹A prayer of a suffering person who is weak and pours out his lament before the LORD. [1] LORD, hear my prayer; let my cry for help come before you.

²Do not hide your face from me in my day of trouble. Listen closely to me; answer me quickly when I call.

³For my days vanish like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.

⁴My heart is suffering, withered like grass; I even forget to eat my food.

⁵Because of the sound of my groaning, my flesh sticks to my bones.

⁶I am like an eagle owl, like a little owl among the ruins.

⁷I stay awake; I am like a solitary bird on a roof.

⁸My enemies taunt me all day long; they ridicule and use my name as a curse.

⁹I eat ashes like bread and mingle my drinks with tears

¹⁰because of your indignation and wrath; for you have picked me up and thrown me aside.

¹¹My days are like a lengthening shadow, and I wither away like grass.

¹²But you, LORD, are enthroned forever; your fame endures to all generations.

¹⁶for the LORD will rebuild Zion; he will appear in his glory.

¹⁷He will pay attention to the prayer of the destitute and will not despise their prayer.

¹⁸This will be written for a later generation, and a people who have not yet been created will praise the LORD:

¹⁹He looked down from his holy heights — the LORD gazed out from heaven to earth  —

²⁰to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to set free those condemned to die,

²¹so that they might declare the name of the LORD in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem,

²²when peoples and kingdoms are assembled to serve the LORD.

²³He has broken my strength in midcourse; he has shortened my days.

²⁴I say: “My God, do not take me in the middle of my life! Your years continue through all generations.

²⁵Long ago you established the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

²⁶They will perish, but you will endure; all of them will wear out like clothing. You will change them like a garment, and they will pass away.

²⁷But you are the same, and your years will never end.

²⁸Your servants’ children will dwell securely, and their offspring will be established before you.”

¹Of David. [1] My soul, bless the LORD, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

²My soul, bless the LORD, and do not forget all his benefits.

⁸The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love.

⁹He will not always accuse us or be angry forever.

¹⁰He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve or repaid us according to our iniquities.

¹¹For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his faithful love toward those who fear him.

¹²As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

¹³As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

¹⁴For he knows what we are made of, remembering that we are dust.

¹⁵As for man, his days are like grass — he blooms like a flower of the field;

¹⁶when the wind passes over it, it vanishes, and its place is no longer known.

¹⁷But from eternity to eternity the LORD’s faithful love is toward those who fear him, and his righteousness toward the grandchildren

¹⁸of those who keep his covenant, who remember to observe his precepts.

¹⁹The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.

²⁰Bless the LORD, all his angels of great strength, who do his word, obedient to his command.

²¹Bless the LORD, all his armies, his servants who do his will.
