1 When Israel came out of Egypt,

Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 Judah became God’s sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

3 The sea looked and fled,

the Jordan turned back;

4 the mountains leaped like rams,

the hills like lambs.

5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?

Why, Jordan, did you turn back?

6 Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,

you hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who turned the rock into a pool,

the hard rock into springs of water.

1 Not to us,Lord, not to us

but to your name be the glory,

because of your love and faithfulness.

2 Why do the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in heaven;

he does whatever pleases him.

4 But their idols are silver and gold,

made by human hands.

5 They have mouths, but cannot speak,

eyes, but cannot see.

6 They have ears, but cannot hear,

noses, but cannot smell.

7 They have hands, but cannot feel,

feet, but cannot walk,

nor can they utter a sound with their throats.

8 Those who make them will be like them,

and so will all who trust in them.

9 All you Israelites, trust in theLord—

he is their help and shield.

10 House of Aaron, trust in theLord—

he is their help and shield.

11 You who fear him, trust in theLord—

he is their help and shield.

12 TheLordremembers us and will bless us:

He will bless his people Israel,

he will bless the house of Aaron,

13 he will bless those who fear theLord—

small and great alike.

14 May theLordcause you to flourish,

both you and your children.

15 May you be blessed by theLord,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

16 The highest heavens belong to theLord,

but the earth he has given to mankind.

17 It is not the dead who praise theLord,

those who go down to the place of silence;

18 it is we who extol theLord,

both now and forevermore.

Praise theLord.

1 I love theLord, for he heard my voice;

he heard my cry for mercy.

2 Because he turned his ear to me,

I will call on him as long as I live.

3 The cords of death entangled me,

the anguish of the grave came over me;

I was overcome by distress and sorrow.

4 Then I called on the name of theLord:

“Lord, save me!”

5 TheLordis gracious and righteous;

our God is full of compassion.

6 TheLordprotects the unwary;

when I was brought low, he saved me.

7 Return to your rest, my soul,

for theLordhas been good to you.

8 For you,Lord, have delivered me from death,

my eyes from tears,

my feet from stumbling,

9 that I may walk before theLord

in the land of the living.

10 I trusted in theLordwhen I said,

“I am greatly afflicted”;

11 in my alarm I said,

“Everyone is a liar.”

12 What shall I return to theLord

for all his goodness to me?

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation

and call on the name of theLord.

14 I will fulfill my vows to theLord

in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of theLord

is the death of his faithful servants.

16 Truly I am your servant,Lord;

I serve you just as my mother did;

you have freed me from my chains.

17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you

and call on the name of theLord.

18 I will fulfill my vows to theLord

in the presence of all his people,

19 in the courts of the house of theLord—

in your midst, Jerusalem.

Praise theLord.

1 Give thanks to theLord, for he is good;

his love endures forever.

2 Let Israel say:

“His love endures forever.”

3 Let the house of Aaron say:

“His love endures forever.”

4 Let those who fear theLordsay:

“His love endures forever.”

5 When hard pressed, I cried to theLord;

he brought me into a spacious place.

6 TheLordis with me; I will not be afraid.

What can mere mortals do to me?

7 TheLordis with me; he is my helper.

I look in triumph on my enemies.

8 It is better to take refuge in theLord

than to trust in humans.

9 It is better to take refuge in theLord

than to trust in princes.

10 All the nations surrounded me,

but in the name of theLordI cut them down.

11 They surrounded me on every side,

but in the name of theLordI cut them down.

12 They swarmed around me like bees,

but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns;

in the name of theLordI cut them down.

13 I was pushed back and about to fall,

but theLordhelped me.

14 TheLordis my strength and my defense;

he has become my salvation.

15 Shouts of joy and victory

resound in the tents of the righteous:

“TheLord’s right hand has done mighty things!

16 TheLord’s right hand is lifted high;

theLord’s right hand has done mighty things!”

17 I will not die but live,

and will proclaim what theLordhas done.

18 TheLordhas chastened me severely,

but he has not given me over to death.

19 Open for me the gates of the righteous;

I will enter and give thanks to theLord.

20 This is the gate of theLord

through which the righteous may enter.

21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me;

you have become my salvation.

22 The stone the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone;

23 theLordhas done this,

and it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 TheLordhas done it this very day;

let us rejoice today and be glad.

25 Lord, save us!

Lord, grant us success!

26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of theLord.

From the house of theLordwe bless you.

27 TheLordis God,

and he has made his light shine on us.

With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession

upto the horns of the altar.

28 You are my God, and I will praise you;

you are my God, and I will exalt you.

29 Give thanks to theLord, for he is good;

his love endures forever.

1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,

who walk according to the law of theLord.

2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes

and seek him with all their heart—

3 they do no wrong

but follow his ways.

4 You have laid down precepts

that are to be fully obeyed.

5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast

in obeying your decrees!

6 Then I would not be put to shame

when I consider all your commands.

7 I will praise you with an upright heart

as I learn your righteous laws.

8 I will obey your decrees;

do not utterly forsake me.

9 How can a young person stay on the path of purity?

By living according to your word.

10 I seek you with all my heart;

do not let me stray from your commands.

11 I have hidden your word in my heart

that I might not sin against you.

12 Praise be to you,Lord;

teach me your decrees.

13 With my lips I recount

all the laws that come from your mouth.

14 I rejoice in following your statutes

as one rejoices in great riches.

17 Be good to your servant while I live,

wonderful things in your law.

20 My soul is consumed with longing

for your laws at all times.

21 You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed,

those who stray from your commands.

22 Remove from me their scorn and contempt,

for I keep your statutes.

23 Though rulers sit together and slander me,

your servant will meditate on your decrees.

24 Your statutes are my delight;

they are my counselors.

25 I am laid low in the dust;

preserve my life according to your word.

26 I gave an account of my ways and you answered me;

teach me your decrees.

27 Cause me to understand the way of your precepts,

that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds.

28 My soul is weary with sorrow;

strengthen me according to your word.

29 Keep me from deceitful ways;

be gracious to me and teach me your law.

30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness;

I have set my heart on your laws.

31 I hold fast to your statutes,Lord;

32 I run in the path of your commands,

for you have broadened my understanding.

33 Teach me,Lord, the way of your decrees,

that I may follow it to the end.

34 Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law

and obey it with all my heart.

35 Direct me in the path of your commands,

for there I find delight.

36 Turn my heart toward your statutes

and not toward selfish gain.

37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;

preserve my life according to your word.

so that you may be feared.

39 Take away the disgrace I dread,

for your laws are good.

40 How I long for your precepts!

In your righteousness preserve my life.

41 May your unfailing love come to me,Lord,

your salvation, according to your promise;

42 then I can answer anyone who taunts me,

for I trust in your word.

43 Never take your word of truth from my mouth,

for I have put my hope in your laws.

44 I will always obey your law,

for ever and ever.

45 I will walk about in freedom,

for I have sought out your precepts.

46 I will speak of your statutes before kings

and will not be put to shame,

47 for I delight in your commands

because I love them.

48 I reach out for your commands, which I love,

that I may meditate on your decrees.

49 Remember your word to your servant,

for you have given me hope.

50 My comfort in my suffering is this:

Your promise preserves my life.

51 The arrogant mock me unmercifully,

but I do not turn from your law.

52 I remember,Lord, your ancient laws,

and I find comfort in them.

53 Indignation grips me because of the wicked,

who have forsaken your law.

54 Your decrees are the theme of my song

wherever I lodge.

55 In the night,Lord, I remember your name,

that I may keep your law.

56 This has been my practice:

I obey your precepts.

57 You are my portion,Lord;

I have promised to obey your words.

58 I have sought your face with all my heart;

be gracious to me according to your promise.

59 I have considered my ways

and have turned my steps to your statutes.

60 I will hasten and not delay

to obey your commands.

61 Though the wicked bind me with ropes,

I will not forget your law.

62 At midnight I rise to give you thanks

for your righteous laws.

63 I am a friend to all who fear you,

to all who follow your precepts.

64 The earth is filled with your love,Lord;

teach me your decrees.

65 Do good to your servant

according to your word,Lord.

66 Teach me knowledge and good judgment,

for I trust your commands.

67 Before I was afflicted I went astray,

but now I obey your word.

68 You are good, and what you do is good;

teach me your decrees.

69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,

I keep your precepts with all my heart.

70 Their hearts are callous and unfeeling,

but I delight in your law.

71 It was good for me to be afflicted

so that I might learn your decrees.

72 The law from your mouth is more precious to me

than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.

73 Your hands made me and formed me;

give me understanding to learn your commands.

74 May those who fear you rejoice when they see me,

for I have put my hope in your word.

75 I know,Lord, that your laws are righteous,

and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

76 May your unfailing love be my comfort,

according to your promise to your servant.

but I will meditate on your precepts.

79 May those who fear you turn to me,

those who understand your statutes.

80 May I wholeheartedly follow your decrees,

81 My soul faints with longing for your salvation,

but I have put my hope in your word.

82 My eyes fail, looking for your promise;

I say, “When will you comfort me?”

83 Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke,

I do not forget your decrees.

84 How long must your servant wait?

When will you punish my persecutors?

85 The arrogant dig pits to trap me,

contrary to your law.

86 All your commands are trustworthy;

help me, for I am being persecuted without cause.

87 They almost wiped me from the earth,

but I have not forsaken your precepts.

88 In your unfailing love preserve my life,

that I may obey the statutes of your mouth.

89 Your word,Lord, is eternal;

it stands firm in the heavens.

90 Your faithfulness continues through all generations;

you established the earth, and it endures.

91 Your laws endure to this day,

for all things serve you.

92 If your law had not been my delight,

I would have perished in my affliction.

93 I will never forget your precepts,

for by them you have preserved my life.

94 Save me, for I am yours;

I have sought out your precepts.

95 The wicked are waiting to destroy me,

but I will ponder your statutes.

96 To all perfection I see a limit,

but your commands are boundless.

97 Oh, how I love your law!

I meditate on it all day long.

98 Your commands are always with me

and make me wiser than my enemies.

99 I have more insight than all my teachers,

for I meditate on your statutes.

100 I have more understanding than the elders,

for I obey your precepts.

101 I have kept my feet from every evil path

so that I might obey your word.

102 I have not departed from your laws,

for you yourself have taught me.

103 How sweet are your words to my taste,

sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104 I gain understanding from your precepts;

therefore I hate every wrong path.

105 Your word is a lamp for my feet,

a light on my path.

106 I have taken an oath and confirmed it,

that I will follow your righteous laws.

107 I have suffered much;

preserve my life,Lord, according to your word.

108 Accept,Lord, the willing praise of my mouth,

and teach me your laws.

109 Though I constantly take my life in my hands,

I will not forget your law.

110 The wicked have set a snare for me,

but I have not strayed from your precepts.

111 Your statutes are my heritage forever;

they are the joy of my heart.

112 My heart is set on keeping your decrees

to the very end.

113 I hate double-minded people,

but I love your law.

114 You are my refuge and my shield;

I have put my hope in your word.

115 Away from me, you evildoers,

that I may keep the commands of my God!

116 Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live;

do not let my hopes be dashed.

117 Uphold me, and I will be delivered;

I will always have regard for your decrees.

118 You reject all who stray from your decrees,

for their delusions come to nothing.

119 All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;

therefore I love your statutes.

120 My flesh trembles in fear of you;

I stand in awe of your laws.

121 I have done what is righteous and just;

do not leave me to my oppressors.

122 Ensure your servant’s well-being;

do not let the arrogant oppress me.

123 My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,

looking for your righteous promise.

124 Deal with your servant according to your love

and teach me your decrees.

125 I am your servant; give me discernment

that I may understand your statutes.

126 It is time for you to act,Lord;

your law is being broken.

127 Because I love your commands

more than gold, more than pure gold,

128 and because I consider all your precepts right,

I hate every wrong path.

129 Your statutes are wonderful;

therefore I obey them.

130 The unfolding of your words gives light;

it gives understanding to the simple.

131 I open my mouth and pant,

longing for your commands.

132 Turn to me and have mercy on me,

as you always do to those who love your name.

133 Direct my footsteps according to your word;

let no sin rule over me.

134 Redeem me from human oppression,

that I may obey your precepts.

135 Make your face shine on your servant

and teach me your decrees.

136 Streams of tears flow from my eyes,

for your law is not obeyed.

137 You are righteous,Lord,

and your laws are right.

138 The statutes you have laid down are righteous;

they are fully trustworthy.

139 My zeal wears me out,

for my enemies ignore your words.

140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested,

and your servant loves them.

141 Though I am lowly and despised,

I do not forget your precepts.

142 Your righteousness is everlasting

and your law is true.

143 Trouble and distress have come upon me,

but your commands give me delight.

144 Your statutes are always righteous;

give me understanding that I may live.

145 I call with all my heart; answer me,Lord,

and I will obey your decrees.

146 I call out to you; save me

and I will keep your statutes.

147 I rise before dawn and cry for help;

I have put my hope in your word.

148 My eyes stay open through the watches of the night,

that I may meditate on your promises.

149 Hear my voice in accordance with your love;

preserve my life,Lord, according to your laws.

150 Those who devise wicked schemes are near,

but they are far from your law.

151 Yet you are near,Lord,

and all your commands are true.

152 Long ago I learned from your statutes

that you established them to last forever.

153 Look on my suffering and deliver me,

for I have not forgotten your law.

154 Defend my cause and redeem me;

preserve my life according to your promise.

155 Salvation is far from the wicked,

for they do not seek out your decrees.

156 Your compassion,Lord, is great;

preserve my life according to your laws.

157 Many are the foes who persecute me,

but I have not turned from your statutes.

158 I look on the faithless with loathing,

for they do not obey your word.

159 See how I love your precepts;

preserve my life,Lord, in accordance with your love.

160 All your words are true;

all your righteous laws are eternal.

161 Rulers persecute me without cause,

but my heart trembles at your word.

162 I rejoice in your promise

like one who finds great spoil.

163 I hate and detest falsehood

but I love your law.

164 Seven times a day I praise you

for your righteous laws.

165 Great peace have those who love your law,

and nothing can make them stumble.

166 I wait for your salvation,Lord,

and I follow your commands.

167 I obey your statutes,

for I love them greatly.

168 I obey your precepts and your statutes,

for all my ways are known to you.

169 May my cry come before you,Lord;

give me understanding according to your word.

170 May my supplication come before you;

deliver me according to your promise.

171 May my lips overflow with praise,

for you teach me your decrees.

172 May my tongue sing of your word,

for all your commands are righteous.

173 May your hand be ready to help me,

for I have chosen your precepts.

174 I long for your salvation,Lord,

and your law gives me delight.

175 Let me live that I may praise you,

and may your laws sustain me.

176 I have strayed like a lost sheep.

Seek your servant,

for I have not forgotten your commands.

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,

“Let us go to the house of theLord.”

2 Our feet are standing

in your gates, Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built like a city

that is closely compacted together.

4 That is where the tribes go up—

the tribes of theLord—

to praise the name of theLord

according to the statute given to Israel.

5 There stand the thrones for judgment,

the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

“May those who love you be secure.

7 May there be peace within your walls

and security within your citadels.”

8 For the sake of my family and friends,

I will say, “Peace be within you.”

9 For the sake of the house of theLordour God,

I will seek your prosperity.

A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to you,

to you who sit enthroned in heaven.

2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,

so our eyes look to theLordour God,

till he shows us his mercy.

3 Have mercy on us,Lord, have mercy on us,

4 We have endured no end

of ridicule from the arrogant,

of contempt from the proud.
