Psalms 1,2,3,4
Psalms 1
1Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
4The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Psalms 2
1Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying,
3“Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.”
4He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.
5Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6“As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.”
7I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you.
8Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.
9You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”
10Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Psalms 3
1O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;
2many are saying of my soul, “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah
3But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.
4I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah
5I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me.
6I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.
7Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.
8Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people! Selah
Psalms 4
1Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah
3But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.
4Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD.
6There are many who say, “Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!”
7You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
