(1) O you who dwell in the shelter of the Most High
and abide in the protection of Shaddai—
(2) I say of the LORD, my refuge and stronghold,
my God in whom I trust,
(3) that He will save you from the fowler’s trap,
from the destructive plague.
(4) He will cover you with His pinions;
you will find refuge under His wings;
His fidelity is an encircling shield.
(5) You need not fear the terror by night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
(6) the plague that stalks in the darkness,
or the scourge that ravages at noon.
(7) A thousand may fall at your left side,
ten thousand at your right,
but it shall not reach you.
(8) You will see it with your eyes,
you will witness the punishment of the wicked.
(9) Because you took the LORD—my refuge,
the Most High—as your haven,
(10) no harm will befall you,
no disease touch your tent.
(11) For He will order His angels
to guard you wherever you go.
(12) They will carry you in their hands
lest you hurt your foot on a stone.
(13) You will tread on cubs and vipers;
you will trample lions and asps.
(14) “Because he is devoted to Me I will deliver him;
I will keep him safe, for he knows My name.
(15) When he calls on Me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in distress;
I will rescue him and make him honored;
(16) I will let him live to a ripe old age,
and show him My salvation.”

(1) Sing forth, O you righteous, to the LORD;
it is fit that the upright acclaim Him.
(2) Praise the LORD with the lyre;
with the ten-stringed harp sing to Him;
(3) sing Him a new song;
play sweetly with shouts of joy.
(4) For the word of the LORD is right;
His every deed is faithful.
(5) He loves what is right and just;
the earth is full of the LORD’s faithful care.
(6) By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
by the breath of His mouth, all their host.
(7) He heaps up the ocean waters like a mound,
stores the deep in vaults.
(8) Let all the earth fear the LORD;
let all the inhabitants of the world dread Him.
(9) For He spoke, and it was;
He commanded, and it endured.
(10) The LORD frustrates the plans of nations,
brings to naught the designs of peoples.
(11) What the LORD plans endures forever,
what He designs, for ages on end.
(12) Happy the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people He has chosen to be His own.
(13) The LORD looks down from heaven;
He sees all mankind.
(14) From His dwelling-place He gazes
on all the inhabitants of the earth—
(15) He who fashions the hearts of them all,
who discerns all their doings.
(16) Kings are not delivered by a large force;
warriors are not saved by great strength;
(17) horses are a false hope for deliverance;
for all their great power they provide no escape.
(18) Truly the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
who wait for His faithful care
(19) to save them from death,
to sustain them in famine.
(20) We set our hope on the LORD,
He is our help and shield;
(21) in Him our hearts rejoice,
for in His holy name we trust.
(22) May we enjoy, O LORD, Your faithful care,
as we have put our hope in You.

(1) A michtam of David.

Protect me, O God, for I seek refuge in You.
(2) I say to the LORD,
“You are my Lord, my benefactor;
there is none above You.”-b
(3) As to the holy and mighty ones that are in the land,
my whole desire concerning them is that
(4) those who espouse another [god]
may have many sorrows!-c
I will have no part of their bloody libations;
their names will not pass my lips.
(5) The LORD is my allotted share and portion;
You control my fate.
(6) Delightful country has fallen to my lot;
lovely indeed is my estate.
(7) I bless the LORD who has guided me;
my conscience admonishes me at night.
(8) I am ever mindful of the LORD’s presence;
He is at my right hand; I shall never be shaken.
(9) So my heart rejoices,
my whole being exults,
and my body rests secure.
(10) For You will not abandon me to Sheol,
or let Your faithful one see the Pit.
(11) You will teach me the path of life.
In Your presence is perfect joy;
delights are ever in Your right hand.

(1) A prayer of David.

Hear, O LORD, what is just;
heed my cry, give ear to my prayer,
uttered without guile.
(2) My vindication will come from You;
Your eyes will behold what is right.
(3) You have visited me at night, probed my mind,
You have tested me and found nothing amiss;
I determined that my mouth should not transgress.
(4) As for man’s dealings,
in accord with the command of Your lips,-a
I have kept in view the fate of the lawless.
(5) My feet have held to Your paths;
my legs have not given way.
(6) I call on You;
You will answer me, God;
turn Your ear to me,
hear what I say.
(7) Display Your faithfulness in wondrous deeds,
You who deliver with Your right hand
those who seek refuge from assailants.
(8) Guard me like the apple of Your eye;
hide me in the shadow of Your wings
(9) from the wicked who despoil me,
my mortal enemies who-c encircle me.
(10) Their hearts are closed to pity;-a
they mouth arrogance;
(11) now they hem in our feet on every side;
they set their eyes roaming over the land.
(12) He is like a lion eager for prey,
a king of beasts lying in wait.
(13) Rise, O LORD! Go forth to meet him.
Bring him down;
rescue me from the wicked with Your sword,
(14) from men, O LORD, with Your hand,
from men whose share in life is fleeting.
But as to Your treasured ones,
fill their bellies.-a
Their sons too shall be satisfied,
and have something to leave over for their young.
(15) Then I, justified, will behold Your face;
awake, I am filled with the vision of You.

(1) Of Solomon.

O God, endow the king with Your judgments,
the king’s son with Your righteousness;
(2) that he may judge Your people rightly,
Your lowly ones, justly.
(3) Let the mountains produce well-being for the people,
the hills, the reward of justice.
(4) Let him champion the lowly among the people,
deliver the needy folk,
and crush those who wrong them.
(5) Let them fear You as long as the sun shines,
while the moon lasts, generations on end.
(6) Let him be like rain that falls on a mown field,
like a downpour of rain on the ground,
(7) that the righteous may flourish in his time,
and well-being abound, till the moon is no more.
(8) Let him rule from sea to sea,
from the river to the ends of the earth.
(9) Let desert-dwellers kneel before him,
and his enemies lick the dust.
(10) Let kings of Tarshish and the islands pay tribute,
kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
(11) Let all kings bow to him,
and all nations serve him.
(12) For he saves the needy who cry out,
the lowly who have no helper.
(13) He cares about the poor and the needy;
He brings the needy deliverance.
(14) He redeems them from fraud and lawlessness;
the shedding of their blood weighs heavily upon him.-a
(15) So let him live, and receive gold of Sheba;
let prayers for him be said always,
blessings on him invoked at all times.
(16) Let abundant grain be in the land, to the tops of the mountains;
let his crops thrive like the forest of Lebanon;
and let men sprout up in towns like country grass.
(17) May his name be eternal;
while the sun lasts, may his name endure;-b
let men invoke his blessedness upon themselves;
let all nations count him happy.
(18) Blessed is the LORD God, God of Israel,
who alone does wondrous things;
(19) Blessed is His glorious name forever;
His glory fills the whole world.

(1) Bless the LORD, O my soul;
O LORD, my God, You are very great;
You are clothed in glory and majesty,
(2) wrapped in a robe of light;
You spread the heavens like a tent cloth.
(3) He sets the rafters of His lofts in the waters,
makes the clouds His chariot,
moves on the wings of the wind.
(4) He makes the winds His messengers,
fiery flames His servants.
(5) He established the earth on its foundations,
so that it shall never totter.
(6) You made the deep cover it as a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.
(7) They fled at Your blast,
rushed away at the sound of Your thunder,
(8) —mountains rising, valleys sinking—
to the place You established for them.
(9) You set bounds they must not pass
so that they never again cover the earth.
(10) You make springs gush forth in torrents;
they make their way between the hills,
(11) giving drink to all the wild beasts;
the wild asses slake their thirst.
(12) The birds of the sky dwell beside them
and sing among the foliage.
(13) You water the mountains from Your lofts;
the earth is sated from the fruit of Your work.
(14) You make the grass grow for the cattle,
and herbage for man’s labor
that he may get food out of the earth—
(15) wine that cheers the hearts of men,
oil that makes the face shine,-b
and bread that sustains man’s life.
(16) The trees of the LORD drink their fill,
the cedars of Lebanon, His own planting,
(17) where birds make their nests;
the stork has her home in the junipers.
(18) The high mountains are for wild goats;
the crags are a refuge for rock-badgers.
(19) He made the moon to mark the seasons;
the sun knows when to set.
(20) You bring on darkness and it is night,
when all the beasts of the forests stir.
(21) The lions roar for prey,
seeking their food from God.
(22) When the sun rises, they come home
and couch in their dens.
(23) Man then goes out to his work,
to his labor until the evening.
(24) How many are the things You have made, O LORD;
You have made them all with wisdom;
the earth is full of Your creations.
(25) There is the sea, vast and wide,
with its creatures beyond number,
living things, small and great.
(26) There go the ships,
and Leviathan that You formed to sport with.
(27) All of them look to You
to give them their food when it is due.
(28) Give it to them, they gather it up;
open Your hand, they are well satisfied;
(29) hide Your face, they are terrified;
take away their breath, they perish
and turn again into dust;
(30) send back Your breath, they are created,
and You renew the face of the earth.
(31) May the glory of the LORD endure forever;
may the LORD rejoice in His works!
(32) He looks at the earth and it trembles;
He touches the mountains and they smoke.
(33) I will sing to the LORD as long as I live;
all my life I will chant hymns to my God.
(34) May my prayer be pleasing to Him;
I will rejoice in the LORD.
(35) May sinners disappear from the earth,
and the wicked be no more.
Bless the LORD, O my soul.
Hallelujah.

(1) A song of ascents.

Out of the depths I call You, O LORD.
(2) O Lord, listen to my cry;
let Your ears be attentive
to my plea for mercy.
(3) If You keep account of sins, O LORD,
Lord, who will survive?
(4) Yours is the power to forgive
so that You may be held in awe.
(5) I look to the LORD;
I look to Him;
I await His word.
(6) I am more eager for the Lord
than watchmen for the morning,
watchmen for the morning.
(7) O Israel, wait for the LORD;
for with the LORD is steadfast love
and great power to redeem.
(8) It is He who will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.

give me understanding that I may learn Your commandments.
(74) Those who fear You will see me and rejoice,
