raise ye the LORD:
for it is good to sing praises unto our God;
for it is pleasant; and praise is comely....
The LORD…gathereth together the outcasts....
He healeth the broken in heart,
and bindeth up their wounds....
Great is our Lord, and of great power:
his understanding is infinite.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
For he satisfieth the longing soul,
and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
O taste and see that the LORD is good:
blessed is the man that trusteth in him….
for there is no want to them that fear him.
One thing have I desired of the LORD,
that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the LORD,
and to enquire in his temple.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest in hope.
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell....
Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
in thy presence is fulness of joy;
at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
I had fainted,
unless I had believed to see
the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Wait on the LORD:
be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD.
For thou wilt light my candle:
the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
For by thee I have run through a troop;
and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect:
the word of the LORD is tried:
he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
For who is God save the LORD?
or who is a rock save our God?
It is God that girdeth me with strength,
and maketh my way perfect.
He maketh my feet like hinds' feet,
and setteth me upon my high places.
He teacheth my hands to war,
so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:
and thy right hand hath holden me up,
and thy gentleness hath made me great.
The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
the LORD is the strength of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
For I have heard the slander of many:
fear was on every side:
while they took counsel together against me,
they devised to take away my life.
But I trusted in thee, O LORD:
I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand:
deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
and from them that persecute me.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant:
save me for thy mercies’ sake.
Thou art my hiding place;
thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with
songs of deliverance. Selah.
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place
in all generations.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked;
for the LORD sustained me.
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered....
I acknowledge my sin unto thee,
and mine iniquity have I not hid.
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD;
and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
My flesh and my heart faileth:
but God is the strength of my heart,
and my portion for ever....
But it is good for me to draw near to God:
I have put my trust in the Lord GOD,
that I may declare all thy works.
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
I cried unto the LORD with my voice,
and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel:
my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
I have set the LORD always before me:
because he is at my right hand,
I shall not be moved.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,
that my feet did not slip.
Nevertheless I am continually with thee:
thou hast holden me by my right hand.
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel,
and afterward receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but thee?
and there is none upon earth that I desire
beside thee.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield:
the LORD will give grace and glory:
no good thing will he withhold
from them that walk uprightly.
O LORD of hosts,
blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:
thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever:
forsake not the works of thine own hands.
This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
