Psalms 150. Praise the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heaven. Praise Him for His mighty works. Praise His unequaled greatness. Praise Him with a blast of the ram's horn. Praise Him with the lyre and harp. Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing. Praise Him with strings and flutes. Praise Him with a clash of cymbals. Praise him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalms 91. And protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, Nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, Nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, Though ten thousand are dying around you, These evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, If you make the Most High your shelter, No evil will conquer you. No plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras. You will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honour them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalms 145 and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue. I will proclaim your greatness. Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness. They will sing with joy about your righteousness. The Lord is merciful and compassionate, Slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. All of your works will thank you, Lord, And your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom. They will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The Lord always keeps his promises. He is gracious in all he does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope. You give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, You satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in everything he does. He is filled with kindness. All who call on him. Yes, To all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him. He hears their cries for help and rescues them. The Lord protects all those who love Him. But he destroys the wicked. I will praise the Lord, And may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. Psalms 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows. He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths. Bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, For you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honour me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, And I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalms 146. Praise the Lord. Let all that I am praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. Don't put your confidence in powerful people. There is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, They return to the Earth, And all their plans die with them. Put joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper. Whose hope is in the Lord their God. He made heaven and earth, The sea and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, But he frustrates the plans of the wicked. The Lord will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, Throughout the generations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 1. Scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly, For the Lord watches over the path of the godly. But the path of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalms 147. Praise the Lord. How good to sing praises to our God. How delightful and how fitting. The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute. His understanding is beyond comprehension. The Lord supports the humble, But he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord. Sing praises to our God with a heart. He covers the heavens with clouds. Provides rain for the earth and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, The Lord's delight is in those who fear him, Those who put their hope in his unfailing love. Across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. He sends his orders to the world. How swiftly his word flies. He sends the snow like white wool. He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold? Then, At his command, It all melts. He sends his winds and the ice thaws. He has revealed his words to Jacob, His decrees and regulations to Israel. He has not done this for any other nation. They do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 27 The Lord is my light and my salvation. So why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, Protecting me from danger. So why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me, When my enemies and foes attack me, They will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, My heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of the Lord, The thing I seek most, Is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, Delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in His temple. For He will conceal me there when troubles come. He will hide me in His sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary, I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, Singing and praising the Lord with music. Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me. My heart has heard you say, Come and talk with me. And my heart responds. Lord, I am coming. Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don't leave me now. Don't abandon me, O God of my salvation. Even if my father and mother abandon me, The Lord will hold me close. Teach me how to live, O Lord. Lead me along the right path, For my enemies are waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands. For they accuse me of things I've never done. With every breath they threaten me with violence. Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, Wait patiently for the Lord. Psalms 51. Have mercy on me, O God, Because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, Blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin. For I recognize my rebellion. It haunts me day and night. Against you and you alone have I sinned. I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, And your judgment against me is just. For I was born a sinner. Yes, From the moment my mother conceived me. But you desire honesty from the womb, Teaching me wisdom even there. Purify me from my sins and I will be clean. Wash me and I will be whiter than snow. Oh, Give me back my joy again. You have broken me. Now let me rejoice. Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, And make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, And they will return to you. Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves. Then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness. Unseal my lips, O Lord, That my mouth may praise you. You do not desire a sacrifice, Or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, Oh God. Look with favor on Zion and help her. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit, With burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings. Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar. Psalms 148 and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. Praise the Lord from the earth, You creatures of the ocean depths, Fire and hail, Snow and clouds, Wind and weather that obey him, Mountains and all hills, Fruit trees and all cedars. Wild animals and all livestock. Small scurrying animals and birds, Kings of the earth and all people, Rulers and judges of the earth, Young men and young women, Old men and children. Let them all praise the name of the Lord, For his name is very great. His glory towers over the earth and heaven. He has made his people strong, Honoring his faithful ones, The people of Israel who are close to him. Praise the Lord, Psalms 150. Praise the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heaven. Praise Him for His mighty works. Praise His unequaled greatness. Praise Him with a blast of the ram's horn. Praise Him with the lyre and harp. Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing. Praise Him with strings and flutes. Praise Him with a clash of cymbals. Praise him with loud clanging cymbals.

He made heaven and earth, The sea and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, But he frustrates the plans of the wicked. The Lord will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, Throughout the generations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 1. Scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly, For the Lord watches over the path of the godly. But the path of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalms 147 beyond comprehension. The Lord supports the humble, But he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord. Sing praises to our God with a heart. He covers the heavens with clouds. Provides rain for the earth, And makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, The Lord's delight is in those who fear him, Those who put their hope in his unfailing love. Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! For he has strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your walls. He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. He sends his orders to the world. How swiftly his word flies! He sends the snow like white wool. He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold. Then, At his command, It all melts. He sends his winds and the ice thaws. He has revealed his words to Jacob, His decrees and regulations to Israel. He has not done this for any other nation. They do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 27 The Lord is my light and my salvation. So why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, Protecting me from danger. So why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me, When my enemies and foes attack me, They will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, My heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of the Lord, The thing I seek most, Is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, Delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in his temple. For he will conceal me there when troubles come. He will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At His sanctuary, I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, Singing and praising the Lord with music. Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me. My heart has heard you say, Come and talk with me. And my heart responds. Lord, I am coming. Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don't leave me now. Don't abandon me, O God of my salvation. Even if my father and mother abandon me, The Lord will hold me close. Teach me how to live, O Lord. Lead me along the right path, For my enemies are waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands. For they accuse me of things I've never done. With every breath they threaten me with violence. Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, Wait patiently for the Lord. Psalms 51. Have mercy on me, O God, Because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, Blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sins. For I recognize my rebellion. It haunts me day and night. Against you and you alone have I sinned. I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, And your judgment against me is just. For I was born a sinner. Yes, From the moment my mother conceived me. But you desire honesty from the womb, Teaching me wisdom even there. Purify me from my sins, And I will be clean. Wash me, And I will be whiter than snow. Oh, Give me back my joy again. You have broken me. Now let me rejoice. Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, And make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, And they will return to you. Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves. Then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness. Unseal my lips, O Lord, That my mouth may praise you. You do not desire a sacrifice, Or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, Oh God. Look with favour on Zion and help her. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit, With burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings. Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar. Psalms 148 and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. Praise the Lord from the earth, You creatures of the ocean depths, Fire and hail, Snow and clouds, Wind and weather that obey him, Mountains and all hills. Fruit trees and all cedars. Wild animals and all livestock, Small scurrying animals and birds, Kings of the earth and all people, Rulers and judges of the earth, Young men and young women, Old men and children. Let them all praise the name of the Lord, For His name is very great. His glory towers over the earth and heaven. He has made His people strong, Honoring His faithful ones, The people of Israel who are close to Him. Praise the Lord. Psalms 150. Praise the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heaven. Praise Him for His mighty works. Praise His unequaled greatness. Praise Him with a blast of the ram's horn. Praise Him with the lyre and harp. Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing. Praise Him with strings and flutes. Praise Him with a clash of cymbals. Praise him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalms 91. And protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, Nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, Nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, Though ten thousand are dying around you, These evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, If you make the Most High your shelter, No evil will conquer you. No plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras. You will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honour them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalms 145 and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue. I will proclaim your greatness. Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness. They will sing with joy about your righteousness. The Lord is merciful and compassionate, Slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. All of your works will thank you, Lord, And your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom. They will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The Lord always keeps his promises. He is gracious in all he does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope. You give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, You satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in everything he does. He is filled with kindness. The Lord is close to all who call on him. Yes, To all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him. He hears their cries for help and rescues them. The Lord protects all those who love Him. But he destroys the wicked. I will praise the Lord, And may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. Psalms 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows. He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, Bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, For you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, And I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalms 146. Praise the Lord. Let all that I am praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. Don't put your confidence in powerful people. There is no help for you there.

Scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly, For the Lord watches over the path of the godly. But the path of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalms 147. Praise the Lord! How good to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how fitting! The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute. His understanding is beyond comprehension. The Lord supports the humble, But he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord. Sing praises to our God with a harp. He covers the heavens with clouds. Provides rain for the earth and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, The Lord's delight is in those who fear him, Those who put their hope in his unfailing love. Across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. He sends his orders to the world. How swiftly his word flies. He sends the snow like white wool. He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold.

Lead me along the right path, For my enemies are waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands, For they accuse me of things I've never done. With every breath they threaten me with violence. Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, Wait patiently for the Lord. Psalms 51. Have mercy on me, O God, Because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, Blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sins. For I recognize my rebellion. It haunts me day and night. Against you and you alone have I sinned. I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, And your judgment against me is just. For I was born a sinner. Yes, From the moment my mother conceived me. But you desire honesty from the womb, Teaching me wisdom even there. Purify me from my sins and I will be clean. Wash me and I will be whiter than snow. Oh, Give me back my joy again. You have broken me. Now let me rejoice. Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, And make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, And they will return to you. Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves. Then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness. Unseal my lips, O Lord, That my mouth may praise you. You do not desire a sacrifice, Or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Look with favour on Zion and help her. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit, With burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings. Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar. Psalms 148 and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. Praise the Lord from the earth, You creatures of the ocean depths, Fire and hail, Snow and clouds, Wind and weather that obey him, Mountains and all hills, Fruit trees and all cedars. Wild animals and all livestock, Small scurrying animals and birds, Kings of the earth and all people, Rulers and judges of the earth, Young men and young women, Old men and children. Let them all praise the name of the Lord, For his name is very great. His glory towers over the earth and heaven. He has made his people strong, Honoring his faithful ones, The people of Israel who are close to him. Praise the Lord. Psalms 150. Praise him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalms 91. And protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, Nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, Nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, Though ten thousand are dying around you, These evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, If you make the Most High your shelter, No evil will conquer you. No plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands, So you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras. You will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honour them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalms 145 and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue. I will proclaim your greatness. Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness. They will sing with joy about your righteousness. The Lord is merciful and compassionate, Slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. All of your works will thank you, Lord, And your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom. They will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The Lord always keeps his promises. He is gracious in all he does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope. You give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, You satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in everything he does. He is filled with kindness. All who call on him. Yes, To all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him. He hears their cries for help and rescues them. The Lord protects all those who love Him. But he destroys the wicked. I will praise the Lord, And may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. Psalms 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows. He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, Bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, For you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, And I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalms 146. Praise the Lord. Let all that I am praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. Don't put your confidence in powerful people. There is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, They return to the Earth. And all their plans die with them. Put joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper. Whose hope is in the Lord their God. He made heaven and earth, The sea and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, But he frustrates the plans of the wicked. The Lord will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, Throughout the generations. Praise the Lord Psalms 1. Scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly, For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, But the path of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalms 147. Praise the Lord. How good to sing praises to our God. How delightful and how fitting. The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute. His understanding is beyond comprehension. The Lord supports the humble, But he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord. Sing praises to our God with a harp. He covers the heavens with clouds, Provides rain for the earth and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, The Lord's delight is in those who fear him, Those who put their hope in his unfailing love. Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! For He has strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your walls. He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. He sends his orders to the world. How swiftly his word flies. He sends the snow like white wool. He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold. Then, At his command, It all melts. He sends his winds and the ice thaws. He has revealed his words to Jacob, His decrees and regulations to Israel. He has not done this for any other nation. They do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 27. The Lord is my light and my salvation. So why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, Protecting me from danger. So why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me, When my enemies and foes attack me, They will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, My heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of the Lord, The thing I seek most, Is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, Delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in his temple. For he will conceal me there when troubles come. He will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary, I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, Singing and praising the Lord with music. Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me. My heart has heard you say, Come and talk with me. And my heart responds. Lord, I am coming. Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don't leave me now. Don't abandon me. Oh God of my salvation. Even if my father and mother abandon me, The Lord will hold me close. Teach me how to live, O Lord. Lead me along the right path, For my enemies are waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands, For they accuse me of things I've never done. With every breath they threaten me with violence. Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Brave and courageous. Yes, Wait patiently for the Lord. Psalms 51. Have mercy on me, O God, Because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, Blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sins.

Praise Him in His mighty heaven. Praise Him for His mighty works. Praise His unequaled greatness. Praise Him with a blast of the ram's horn. Praise Him with the lyre and harp.

I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalms 145. I will exalt you, My God and King, And praise your name forever and ever. I will praise you every day. Yes, I will praise you forever. Great is the Lord. He is most worthy of praise. No one can measure his greatness. Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts. Let them proclaim your power. I will meditate on your majestic, Glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue. I will proclaim your greatness. Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness. They will sing with joy about your righteousness. The Lord is merciful and compassionate, Slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. All of your works will thank you, Lord, And your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom. They will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The Lord always keeps his promises. He is gracious in all he does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope. You give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, You satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in everything he does. He is filled with kindness. The Lord is close to all who call on him. Yes, To all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him. He hears their cries for help and rescues them. The Lord protects all those who love Him. But he destroys the wicked. I will praise the Lord, And may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. Psalms 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows. He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, Bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, For you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, And I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalms 146. Praise the Lord. Let all that I am praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. Don't put your confidence in powerful people. There is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, They return to the Earth, And all their plans die with them. Put joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper. Whose hope is in the Lord their God. He made heaven and earth, The sea and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, But he frustrates the plans of the wicked. The Lord will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, Throughout the generations. Praise the Lord Psalms 1. Scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly, For the Lord watches over the path of the godly. But the path of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalms 147. Praise the Lord. How good to sing praises to our God. How delightful and how fitting. The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute. His understanding is beyond comprehension. The Lord supports the humble, But he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord. Sing praises to our God with a harp. He covers the heavens with clouds. Provides rain for the earth and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, The Lord's delight is in those who fear him, Those who put their hope in his unfailing love. Strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your walls. He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. He sends his orders to the world. How swiftly his word flies. He sends the snow like white wool. He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold. Then, At his command, It all melts. He sends his winds and the ice thaws. He has revealed his words to Jacob, His decrees and regulations to Israel. He has not done this for any other nation. They do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 27. The Lord is my light and my salvation, So why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, Protecting me from danger, So why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me, When my enemies and foes attack me, They will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, My heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of the Lord, The thing I seek most, Is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, Delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in his temple. For He will conceal me there when troubles come. He will hide me in His sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At His sanctuary, I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, Singing and praising the Lord with music. Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me. My heart has heard you say, Come and talk with me. And my heart responds. Lord, I am coming. Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don't leave me now. Don't abandon me, O God of my salvation. Even if my father and mother abandon me, The Lord will hold me close. Teach me how to live, O Lord. Lead me along the right path, For my enemies are waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands. For they accuse me of things I've never done. With every breath they threaten me with violence. Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, Wait patiently for the Lord. Psalms 51. Have mercy on me, O God, Because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, Blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin. For I recognize my rebellion. It haunts me day and night. Against you and you alone have I sinned. I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, And your judgment against me is just. For I was born a sinner. Yes, From the moment my mother conceived me. But you desire honesty from the womb, Teaching me wisdom even there. Purify me from my sins, And I will be clean. Wash me, And I will be whiter than snow. Oh, Give me back my joy again. You have broken me. Now let me rejoice. Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, And make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, And they will return to you. Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves. Then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness. Unseal my lips, O Lord, That my mouth may praise you. You do not desire a sacrifice, Or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Look with favour on Zion and help her. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit, With burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings. Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar. Psalms 148 and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. Praise the Lord from the earth, You creatures of the ocean depths, Fire and hail, Snow and clouds, Wind and weather that obey him, Mountains and all hills. Fruit trees and all cedars. Wild animals and all livestock, Small scurrying animals and birds, Kings of the earth and all people, Rulers and judges of the earth, Young men and young women, Old men and children. Let them all praise the name of the Lord, For His name is very great. His glory towers over the earth and heaven. He has made His people strong, Honoring His faithful ones, The people of Israel who are close to Him. Praise the Lord. Psalms 150. Praise the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heaven. Praise Him for His mighty works. Praise His unequaled greatness. Praise Him with a blast of the ram's horn. Praise Him with the lyre and harp. Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing. Praise Him with strings and flutes. Praise Him with a clash of cymbals. Praise him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalms 91. And protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, Nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, Nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, Though ten thousand are dying around you, These evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, If you make the Most High your shelter, No evil will conquer you. No plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands, So you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras. You will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honour them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalms 145 and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue. I will proclaim your greatness.

He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, The Lord's delight is in those who fear him, Those who put their hope in his unfailing love. Across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. He sends his orders to the world. How swiftly his word flies. He sends the snow like white wool, He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes, He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold. Then, At his command, It all melts. He sends his winds and the ice thaws. He has revealed his words to Jacob, His decrees and regulations to Israel. He has not done this for any other nation. They do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 27. The Lord is my light and my salvation. So why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, Protecting me from danger. So why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me, When my enemies and foes attack me, They will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, My heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of the Lord, The thing I seek most, Is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, Delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in His temple. For he will conceal me there when troubles come. He will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary, I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, Singing and praising the Lord with music. Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me. My heart has heard you say, Come and talk with me. And my heart responds. Lord, I am coming. Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don't leave me now. Don't abandon me, O God of my salvation. Even if my father and mother abandon me, The Lord will hold me close. Teach me how to live, O Lord. Lead me along the right path, For my enemies are waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands, For they accuse me of things I've never done. With every breath they threaten me with violence. Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, Wait patiently for the Lord. Psalms 51. Have mercy on me, O God, Because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, Blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sins. For I recognize my rebellion. It haunts me day and night. Against you and you alone have I sinned. I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, And your judgment against me is just. For I was born a sinner. Yes, From the moment my mother conceived me. But you desire honesty from the womb, Teaching me wisdom even there. Purify me from my sins, And I will be clean. Wash me, And I will be whiter than snow. Oh, Give me back my joy again. You have broken me. Now let me rejoice. Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, And make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, And they will return to you. Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves. Then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness. Unseal my lips, O Lord, That my mouth may praise you. You do not desire a sacrifice, Or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Look with favor on Zion and help her. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit, With burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings. Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar. Psalms 148 and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. Praise the Lord from the earth, You creatures of the ocean depths, Fire and hail, Snow and clouds, Wind and weather that obey him, Mountains and all hills. Fruit trees and all cedars. Wild animals and all livestock, Small scurrying animals and birds, Kings of the earth and all people, Rulers and judges of the earth, Young men and young women, Old men and children. Let them all praise the name of the Lord, For His name is very great. His glory towers over the earth and heaven. He has made His people strong, Honoring His faithful ones, The people of Israel who are close to Him. Praise the Lord. Psalms 150. Praise the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heaven. Praise Him for His mighty works. Praise His unequaled greatness. Praise Him with a blast of the ram's horn. Praise Him with the lyre and harp. Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing. Praise Him with strings and flutes. Praise Him with a clash of cymbals. Praise him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalms 91. And protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, Nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, Nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, Though ten thousand are dying around you, These evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, If you make the Most High your shelter, No evil will conquer you. No plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras. You will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honour them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalms 145 and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue. I will proclaim your greatness. Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness. They will sing with joy about your righteousness. The Lord is merciful and compassionate, Slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. All of your works will thank you, Lord, And your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom. They will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The Lord always keeps his promises. He is gracious in all he does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope. You give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, You satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in everything he does. He is filled with kindness. The Lord is close to all who call on him. Yes, To all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him. He hears their cries for help and rescues them. The Lord protects all those who love Him. But he destroys the wicked. I will praise the Lord, And may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. Psalms 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows. He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths. Bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, For you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, And I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalms 146. Praise the Lord. Let all that I am praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. Don't put your confidence in powerful people. There is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, They return to the Earth, And all their plans die with them. Put joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, Whose hope is in the Lord their God. He made heaven and earth, The sea and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, But he frustrates the plans of the wicked. The Lord will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, Throughout the generations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 1. Scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly, For the Lord watches over the path of the godly. But the path of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalms 147. Praise the Lord. How good to sing praises to our God. How delightful and how fitting. The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute. His understanding is beyond comprehension. The Lord supports the humble, But he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord. Sing praises to our God with a heart. He covers the heavens with clouds. Provides rain for the earth and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, The Lord's delight is in those who fear Him, Those who put their hope in His unfailing love. Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! For he has strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your walls. He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. He sends his orders to the world. How swiftly his word flies. He sends the snow like white wool. He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold? Then, At his command, Melts. He sends his winds and the ice thaws. He has revealed his words to Jacob, His decrees and regulations to Israel. He has not done this for any other nation. They do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 27. The Lord is my light and my salvation. So why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, Protecting me from danger. So why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me. When my enemies and foes attack me, They will stumble and fall.

Unseal my lips, O Lord, That my mouth may praise you. You do not desire a sacrifice, Or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Look with favor on Zion and help her. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit, With burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings. Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar. Psalms 148 and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. Praise the Lord from the earth, You creatures of the ocean depths, Fire and hail, Snow and clouds, Wind and weather that obey him, Mountains and all hills, Fruit trees and all cedars. Wild animals and all livestock, Small scurrying animals and birds, Kings of the earth and all people, Rulers and judges of the earth, Young men and young women, Old men and children. Let them all praise the name of the Lord, For His name is very great. His glory towers over the earth and heaven. He has made His people strong, Honoring His faithful ones, The people of Israel who are close to Him. Praise the Lord. Psalms 150. Praise the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heaven. Praise Him for His mighty works. Praise His unequaled greatness. Praise Him with a blast of the ram's horn. Praise Him with the lyre and harp. Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing. Praise Him with strings and flutes. Praise Him with a clash of cymbals. Praise him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalms 91. And protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, Nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, Nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, Though 10, 000 are dying around you, These evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, If you make the Most High your shelter, No evil will conquer you, No plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras. You will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honour them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalms 145 and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue. I will proclaim your greatness. Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness. They will sing with joy about your righteousness. The Lord is merciful and compassionate, Slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. All of your works will thank you, Lord, And your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom. They will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The Lord always keeps his promises. He is gracious in all he does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope. You give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, You satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in everything he does. He is filled with kindness. The Lord is close to all who call on him. Yes, To all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him. He hears their cries for help and rescues them. The Lord protects all those who love Him. But he destroys the wicked. I will praise the Lord, And may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. Psalms 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows. He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, Bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, For you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, And I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalms 146. Praise the Lord. Let all that I am praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. Don't put your confidence in powerful people. There is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, They return to the earth, And all their plans die with them. Put joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper. Whose hope is in the Lord their God. He made heaven and earth, The sea and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, But he frustrates the plans of the wicked. The Lord will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, Throughout the generations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 1. Scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly, For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, But the path of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalms 147. Praise the Lord. How good to sing praises to our God. How delightful and how fitting. The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute. His understanding is beyond comprehension. The Lord supports the humble, But he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord. Sing praises to our God with a heart. He covers the heavens with clouds. Provides rain for the earth and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, The Lord's delight is in those who fear him, Those who put their hope in his unfailing love. Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion. For he has strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your walls. He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. He sends his orders to the world. How swiftly his word flies! He sends the snow like white wool. He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold. Then, At his command, It all melts. He sends his winds and the ice thaws. He has revealed his words to Jacob, His decrees and regulations to Israel. He has not done this for any other nation. They do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 27. The Lord is my light and my salvation. So why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, Protecting me from danger. So why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me, When my enemies and foes attack me, They will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, My heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of the Lord, The thing I seek most, Is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, Delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in His temple. For he will conceal me there when troubles come. He will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary, I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, Singing and praising the Lord with music. Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me. My heart has heard you say, Come and talk with me. And my heart responds. Lord, I am coming. Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don't leave me now. Don't abandon me, O God of my salvation. Even if my father and mother abandon me, The Lord will hold me close. Teach me how to live, O Lord. Lead me along the right path, For my enemies are waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands, For they accuse me of things I've never done. With every breath they threaten me with violence. Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, Wait patiently for the Lord. Psalms 51. Have mercy on me, O God, Because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, Blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin. For I recognize my rebellion. It haunts me day and night. Against you and you alone have I sinned. I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, And your judgment against me is just. For I was born a sinner. Yes, From the moment my mother conceived me. But you desire honesty from the womb, Teaching me wisdom even there. Purify me from my sins and I will be clean. Wash me and I will be whiter than snow. Oh, Give me back my joy again. You have broken me. Now let me rejoice. Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, And make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, And they will return to you. Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves. Then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness. Unseal my lips, O Lord, That my mouth may praise you. You do not desire a sacrifice, Or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Look with favour on Zion and help her. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

This I declare about the Lord. He alone is my refuge, My place of safety. He is my God and I trust Him. For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, Nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, Nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

Yes, I will praise you forever. Great is the Lord. He is most worthy of praise. No one can measure his greatness. Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts.

But he destroys the wicked. I will praise the Lord, And may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. Psalms 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows. He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths. Bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, For you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, And I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalms 146. Praise the Lord. Let all that I am praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. Don't put your confidence in powerful people. There is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, They return to the Earth, And all their plans die with them. Put joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper. Whose hope is in the Lord their God. He made heaven and earth, The sea and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, But he frustrates the plans of the wicked. The Lord will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, Throughout the generations. Praise the Lord! Psalms 1. Scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly, For the Lord watches over the path of the godly but the path of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalms 147. Praise the Lord. How good to sing praises to our God. How delightful and how fitting. The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute. His understanding is beyond comprehension. The Lord supports the humble, But he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord. Sing praises to our God with a heart. He covers the heavens with clouds. Provides rain for the earth and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, The Lord's delight is in those who fear Him, Those who put their hope in His unfailing love. Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! For he has strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your walls. He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. He sends his orders to the world. How swiftly his word flies! He sends the snow like white wool. He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold. Then, At his command, It all melts. He sends his winds and the ice thaws. He has revealed his words to Jacob, His decrees and regulations to Israel. He has not done this for any other nation. They do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 27. The Lord is my light and my salvation. So why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, Protecting me from danger. So why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me, When my enemies and foes attack me, They will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, My heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of the Lord, The thing I seek most, Is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, Delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in his temple. For he will conceal me there when troubles come. He will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At His sanctuary, I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, Singing and praising the Lord with music. Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me. My heart has heard you say, Come and talk with me. And my heart responds. Lord, I am coming. Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don't leave me now. Don't abandon me, O God of my salvation. Even if my father and mother abandon me, The Lord will hold me close. Teach me how to live, O Lord. Lead me along the right path, For my enemies are waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands, For they accuse me of things I've never done. With every breath they threaten me with violence. Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, Wait patiently for the Lord. Psalms 51. Have mercy on me, O God, Because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, Blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sins. For I recognize my rebellion. It haunts me day and night. Against you and you alone have I sinned. I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, And your judgment against me is just. For I was born a sinner. Yes, From the moment my mother conceived me. But you desire honesty from the womb, Teaching me wisdom even there. Purify me from my sins and I will be clean. Wash me and I will be whiter than snow. Oh, Give me back my joy again. You have broken me. Now let me rejoice. Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, And make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, And they will return to you. Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves. Then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness. Unseal my lips, O Lord, That my mouth may praise you. You do not desire a sacrifice, Or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Look with favor on Zion and help her. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit, With burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings. Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar. Psalms 148 and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. Praise the Lord from the earth, You creatures of the ocean depths, Fire and hail, Snow and clouds, Wind and weather that obey him, Mountains and all hills. Fruit trees and all cedars. Wild animals and all livestock, Small scurrying animals and birds, Kings of the earth and all people, Rulers and judges of the earth, Young men and young women, Old men and children. Let them all praise the name of the Lord, For his name is very great. His glory towers over the earth and heaven. He has made his people strong, Honoring his faithful ones, The people of Israel who are close to him. Praise the Lord. Psalms 150. Praise the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heaven. Praise Him for His mighty works. Praise His unequaled greatness. Praise Him with a blast of the ram's horn. Praise Him with the lyre and harp. Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing. Praise Him with strings and flutes. Praise Him with a clash of cymbals. Praise him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalms 91. Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord. He alone is my refuge, My place of safety. He is my God and I trust Him. For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, Nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, Nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, Though ten thousand are dying around you, These evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, If you make the Most High your shelter, No evil will conquer you. No plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras. You will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honour them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalms 145 and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue. I will proclaim your greatness. Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness. They will sing with joy about your righteousness. The Lord is merciful and compassionate, Slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. All of your works will thank you, Lord, And your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom. They will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The Lord always keeps his promises. He is gracious in all he does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope. You give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, You satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in everything he does. He is filled with kindness. The Lord is close to all who call on him.

He sends his orders to the world. How swiftly his word flies! He sends the snow like white wool. He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold. Then, At his command, It all melts. He sends his winds and the ice thaws. He has revealed his words to Jacob, His decrees and regulations to Israel. He has not done this for any other nation. They do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 27. The Lord is my light and my salvation. So why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, Protecting me from danger. So why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me, When my enemies and foes attack me, They will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, My heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of the Lord, The thing I seek most, Is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, Delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in his temple. For He will conceal me there when troubles come, He will hide me in His sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At His sanctuary, I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, Singing and praising the Lord with music. Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me. My heart has heard you say, Come and talk with me. And my heart responds. Lord, I am coming. Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don't leave me now. Don't abandon me. Oh God of my salvation. Even if my father and mother abandon me, The Lord will hold me close. Teach me how to live, O Lord. Lead me along the right path, For my enemies are waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands, For they accuse me of things I've never done. With every breath they threaten me with violence. Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, Wait patiently for the Lord. Psalms 51. Have mercy on me, O God, Because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, Blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin. For I recognize my rebellion. It haunts me day and night. Against you and you alone have I sinned. I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, And your judgment against me is just. For I was born a sinner. Yes, From the moment my mother conceived me. But you desire honesty from the womb, Teaching me wisdom even there. Purify me from my sins and I will be clean. Wash me and I will be whiter than snow. Oh, Give me back my joy again. You have broken me. Now let me rejoice. Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence, And don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, And make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, And they will return to you. Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves. Then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness. Unseal my lips, O Lord, That my mouth may praise you. You do not desire a sacrifice, Or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Look with favor on Zion and help her. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit, With burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings. Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar. Psalms 148 and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. Praise the Lord from the earth, You creatures of the ocean depths, Fire and hail, Snow and clouds, Wind and weather that obey him, Mountains and all hills, Fruit trees and all cedars. Wild animals and all livestock, Small scurrying animals and birds, Kings of the earth and all people, Rulers and judges of the earth, Young men and young women, Old men and children. Let them all praise the name of the Lord, For his name is very great. His glory towers over the earth and heaven. He has made his people strong, Honoring his faithful ones, The people of Israel who are close to him. Praise the Lord. Psalms 150. Praise the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heaven. Praise Him for His mighty works. Praise His unequaled greatness. Praise Him with a blast of the ram's horn. Praise Him with the lyre and harp. Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing. Praise Him with strings and flutes. Praise Him with a clash of cymbals. Praise him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalms 91 and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, Nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, Nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, Though 10, 000 are dying around you, These evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, If you make the Most High your shelter, No evil will conquer you. No plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras. You will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honour them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalms 145 and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue. I will proclaim your greatness. Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness. They will sing with joy about your righteousness. The Lord is merciful and compassionate, Slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creations. All of your works will thank you, Lord, And your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom. They will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The Lord always keeps his promises. He is gracious in all he does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope. You give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, You satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in everything he does. He is filled with kindness. All who call on him. Yes, To all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him. He hears their cries for help and rescues them. The Lord protects all those who love Him. But he destroys the wicked. I will praise the Lord, And may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. Psalms 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows. He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, Bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, For you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, And I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalms 146. Praise the Lord. Let all that I am praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. Don't put your confidence in powerful people. There is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, They return to the Earth, And all their plans die with them. Put joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper. Whose hope is in the Lord their God. He made heaven and earth, The sea and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, But he frustrates the plans of the wicked. The Lord will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, Throughout the generations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 1. Scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly, For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, But the path of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalms 147. Beyond comprehension. The Lord supports the humble, But he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord. Sing praises to our God with a heart. He covers the heavens with clouds. Provides rain for the earth and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, The Lord's delight is in those who fear him, Those who put their hope in his unfailing love. Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! For He has strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your walls. He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. He sends his orders to the world. How swiftly his word flies. He sends the snow like white wool. He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold. Then, At his command, It all melts. He sends his winds and the ice thaws. He has revealed his words to Jacob, His decrees and regulations to Israel.

You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Look with favour on Zion and help her. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit, With burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings. Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar. Psalms 148 and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. Praise the Lord from the earth, You creatures of the ocean depths, Fire and hail, Snow and clouds, Wind and weather that obey him, Mountains and all hills, Fruit trees and all cedars. Wild animals and all livestock. Small scurrying animals and birds, Kings of the earth and all people, Rulers and judges of the earth, Young men and young women, Old men and children. Let them all praise the name of the Lord, For his name is very great. His glory towers over the earth and heaven. He has made his people strong, Honoring his faithful ones, The people of Israel who are close to him. Praise the Lord. Psalms 150. Praise the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heaven. Praise Him for His mighty works. Praise His unequaled greatness. Praise Him with a blast of the ram's horn. Praise Him with the lyre and harp. Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing. Praise Him with strings and flutes. Praise Him with a clash of cymbals. Praise him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalms 91 and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, Nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, Nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, Though ten thousand are dying around you, These evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, If you make the Most High your shelter, The Lord says, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalms 145 and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue. I will proclaim your greatness. Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness. They will sing with joy about your righteousness. The Lord is merciful and compassionate, Slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. All of your works will thank you, Lord, And your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom. They will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The Lord always keeps his promises. He is gracious in all he does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope. You give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, You satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in everything he does. He is filled with kindness. The Lord is close to all who call on him. Yes, To all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him. He hears their cries for help and rescues them. The Lord protects all those who love Him. But he destroys the wicked. I will praise the Lord, And may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. Psalms 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows. He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths. Bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, For you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, And I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalms 146. Praise the Lord. Let all that I am praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. Don't put your confidence in powerful people. There is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, They return to the Earth, And all their plans die with them. Put joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper. Whose hope is in the Lord their God. He made heaven and earth, The sea and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, But he frustrates the plans of the wicked. The Lord will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, Throughout the generations. Praise the Lord! Psalms 1. Scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly, For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, But the path of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalms 147. Praise the Lord. How good to sing praises to our God. How delightful and how fitting. The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute. His understanding is beyond comprehension. The Lord supports the humble, But he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord. Sing praises to our God with a heart. He covers the heavens with clouds. Provides rain for the earth and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, The Lord's delight is in those who fear him, Those who put their hope in his unfailing love. Your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. He sends his orders to the world. How swiftly his word flies. He sends the snow like white wool. He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold. Then, At his command, It all melts. He sends his winds and the ice thaws. He has revealed his words to Jacob, His decrees and regulations to Israel. He has not done this for any other nation. They do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord. Psalms 27. The Lord is my light and my salvation. So why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, Protecting me from danger. So why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me, When my enemies and foes attack me, They will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, My heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of the Lord, The thing I seek most, Is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, Delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in his temple. For He will conceal me there when troubles come. He will hide me in His sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At His sanctuary, I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, Singing and praising the Lord with music. Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me. My heart has heard you say, Come and talk with me. And my heart responds. Lord, I am coming. Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don't leave me now. Don't abandon me, O God of my salvation. Even if my father and mother abandon me, The Lord will hold me close. Teach me how to live, O Lord. Lead me along the right path, For my enemies are waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands, For they accuse me of things I've never done. With every breath they threaten me with violence. Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, Wait patiently for the Lord. Psalms 51. Have mercy on me, O God, Because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, Blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sins. For I recognize my rebellion. It haunts me day and night. Against you and you alone have I sinned. I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, And your judgment against me is just. For I was born a sinner. Yes, From the moment my mother conceived me. But you desire honesty from the womb, Teaching me wisdom even there. Purify me from my sins, And I will be clean. Wash me, And I will be whiter than snow. Oh, Give me back my joy again. You have broken me. Now let me rejoice. Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, And make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, And they will return to you. Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves. Then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness. Unseal my lips, O Lord, That my mouth may praise you. You do not desire a sacrifice, Or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, Oh God. Look with favour on Zion and help her. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

If you make the Lord your refuge, If you make the Most High your shelter, No evil will conquer you. No plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras. You will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honour them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalms 145 and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue. I will proclaim your greatness.
