-
I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.
-
God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.
-
You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet:
-
The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them.
-
Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts.
-
May the Lord silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue—
-
I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.
-
Psalm 14
For the director of music. Of David.
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
-
All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
-
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
-
As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.
-
The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
-
But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
-
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
-
Psalm 24
Of David. A psalm.
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;
-
Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord, are good.
-
Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
-
I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
-
For I hear many whispering, “Terror on every side!” They conspire against me and plot to take my life.
-
How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you.
-
he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
-
Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
-
The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
-
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
-
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
