Psalm 25; Psalm 29; Psalm 33; Psalm 36; Psalm 39

1To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;

2in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.

3Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who engage in treachery without cause will be disgraced.

4Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.

5Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.

6Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.

7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.

8Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.

9He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.

10All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.

11For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

12Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.

13His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.

14The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.

15My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.

16Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.

17The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.

18Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.

19Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.

20Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.

21May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.

22Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.

1Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

2Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness.

3The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters.

4The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.

5The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

6He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.

7The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire.

8The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.

9The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”

10The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

11The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.

1Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.

2Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.

3Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.

4For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.

5The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.

6By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.

7He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.

8Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.

9For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.

10The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.

11The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.

12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!

13The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.

14From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.

15He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.

16No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.

17A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.

18Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion

19to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

20Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.

21For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.

22May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.

1An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

2For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.

3The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.

4Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.

5Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.

6Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast.

7How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!

8They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.

9For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.

10Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise.

1I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”

2I was speechless and still; I remained silent, even from speaking good, and my sorrow was stirred.

3My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:

4“Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.

5You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath. Selah

6Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.

7And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.

8Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of fools.

9I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.

10Remove Your scourge from me; I am perishing by the force of Your hand.

11You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor. Selah

12Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.

13Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may again be cheered before I depart and am no more.”
