Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.

Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.

Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.

You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever.

The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.

The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.

The Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous.

The Lord watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.

The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”

I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless.

You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.

As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?

You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great. You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.

In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

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.

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.

Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty— he is the King of glory.

Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths.

Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord, are good.
