⁴ Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
    teach me your paths.^(D)
5 Lead me in your truth and teach me,
    for you are the God of my salvation;
    for you I wait all day long.^(E)

⁶ Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
    for they have been from of old.^(F)
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
    according to your steadfast love remember me,
    for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!^(G)

⁸ Good and upright is the Lord;
    therefore he instructs sinners in the way.^(H)
9 He leads the humble in what is right
    and teaches the humble his way.^(I)
10 All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,
    for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.^(J)

¹¹ For your name’s sake, O Lord,
    pardon my guilt, for it is great.^(K)
12 Who are they who fear the Lord?
    He will teach them the way that they should choose.

¹³ They will abide in prosperity,
    and their children shall possess the land.^(L)
14 The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him,
    and he makes his covenant known to them.^(M)
15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord,
    for he will pluck my feet out of the net.^(N)

¹⁶ Turn to me and be gracious to me,
    for I am lonely and afflicted.^(O)
17 Relieve the troubles of my heart,
    and bring me^[a] out of my distress.^(P)
18 Consider my affliction and my trouble,
    and forgive all my sins.^(Q)

¹⁹ Consider how many are my foes
    and with what violent hatred they hate me.^(R)
20 O guard my life and deliver me;
    do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
²¹ May integrity and uprightness preserve me,
    for I wait for you.^(S)

²² Redeem Israel, O God,
    out of all its troubles.^(T)

⁴ I do not sit with the worthless,
    nor do I consort with hypocrites;^(D)
5 I hate the company of evildoers
    and will not sit with the wicked.^(E)

⁶ I wash my hands in innocence
    and go around your altar, O Lord,^(F)
7 singing aloud a song of thanksgiving
    and telling all your wondrous deeds.^(G)

⁸ O Lord, I love the house in which you dwell
    and the place where your glory abides.^(H)
9 Do not sweep me away with sinners
    nor my life with the bloodthirsty,^(I)
10 those in whose hands are evil devices
    and whose right hands are full of bribes.^(J)

¹¹ But as for me, I walk in my integrity;
    redeem me and be gracious to me.^(K)
12 My foot stands on level ground;
    in the great congregation I will bless the Lord.^(L)

² When evildoers assail me
    to devour my flesh—
my adversaries and foes—
    they shall stumble and fall.^(B)

³ Though an army encamp against me,
    my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
    yet I will be confident.^(C)

⁴ One thing I asked of the Lord;
    this I seek:
to live in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
    and to inquire in his temple.^(D)

⁵ For he will hide me in his shelter
    in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
    he will set me high on a rock.^(E)

⁶ Now my head is lifted up
    above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
    sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the Lord.^(F)

⁷ Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
    be gracious to me and answer me!^(G)
8 “Come,” my heart says, “seek his face!”
    Your face, Lord, do I seek.^(H)
9     Do not hide your face from me.

Do not turn your servant away in anger,
    you who have been my help.
Do not cast me off; do not forsake me,
    O God of my salvation!^(I)
10 If my father and mother forsake me,
    the Lord will take me up.^(J)

¹¹ Teach me your way, O Lord,
    and lead me on a level path
    because of my enemies.^(K)
12 Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries,
    for false witnesses have risen against me,
    and they are breathing out violence.^(L)

¹³ I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
    in the land of the living.^(M)
14 Wait for the Lord;
    be strong, and let your heart take courage;
    wait for the Lord!^(N)

³ Do not drag me away with the wicked,
    with those who are workers of evil,
who speak peace with their neighbors
    while mischief is in their hearts.^(C)
4 Repay them according to their work
    and according to the evil of their deeds;
repay them according to the work of their hands;
    render them their due reward.^(D)
5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord
    or the work of his hands,
he will break them down and build them up no more.^(E)

⁶ Blessed be the Lord,
    for he has heard the sound of my pleadings.^(F)
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
    in him my heart trusts;
so I am helped, and my heart exults,
    and with my song I give thanks to him.^(G)

⁸ The Lord is the strength of his people;
    he is the saving refuge of his anointed.^(H)
9 O save your people and bless your heritage;
    be their shepherd and carry them forever.^(I)

³ The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
    the God of glory thunders,
    the Lord, over mighty waters.^(C)
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
    the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.^(D)

⁵ The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
    the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.^(E)
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf
    and Sirion like a young wild ox.^(F)

⁷ The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
⁸ The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
    the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.^(G)

⁹ The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl^[b]
    and strips the forest bare,
    and in his temple all say, “Glory!”^(H)

¹⁰ The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
    the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.^(I)
11 May the Lord give strength to his people!
    May the Lord bless his people with peace!^(J)

⁴ Sing praises to the Lord, O you his faithful ones,
    and give thanks to his holy name.^(D)
5 For his anger is but for a moment;
    his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night,
    but joy comes with the morning.^(E)

⁶ As for me, I said in my prosperity,
    “I shall never be moved.”
⁷ By your favor, O Lord,
    you had established me as a strong mountain;
you hid your face;
    I was dismayed.^(F)

⁸ To you, O Lord, I cried,
    and to the Lord I made supplication:
⁹ “What profit is there in my death,
    if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
    Will it tell of your faithfulness?^(G)
10 Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me!
    O Lord, be my helper!”^[b]

¹¹ You have turned my mourning into dancing;
    you have taken off my sackcloth
    and clothed me with joy,^(H)
12 so that my soul^[c] may praise you and not be silent.
    O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.^(I)
