Psalms

Blessed is the man who does not walk within the wicked way; Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit where the scoffers stay.

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of earth together with rulers stand arraigned...

O Lord, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me! They say, “There is no help in God, There’s no deliv’rance for his plea.”

God, answer when I call to You, for You are all my righteousness; Be gracious, Lord, and hear my prayer, O give me hope in my distress.

Give ear to my words, O Lord, my deep groaning don't ignore. Hear and heed my pleading prayer, as I come and seek Your care.

O Lord, in anger don’t rebuke, In wrath, don’t chide or turn from me. Have mercy, Lord, for I am faint, My very bones in agony.

O Lord, my God in You I refuge take, Save me from those who would pursue my life. Like a strong lion they would tear and shake, Leaving no help in all my painful strife.

Lord, our Lord, majestic is Thy name throughout the whole wide earth; You display and set Your splendor o’er the heav’ns which show Your worth.

I will give thanks to God with all my heart; Tell of Thy wonders, and exult in Thee. I will be glad, sing praise unto Thy Name, O, Lord Most High, I sing and worship Thee.

Why, Lord, do You stand far away in times of trial and pain? The wicked ones in arrogance afflict the weak for gain.
