Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.

The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.

One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.

But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness.

My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.

Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.

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.

Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.

Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.

But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love.

May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.

For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.

The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry.

But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.

The Lord will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.

The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously.

The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him.

For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish.

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.

Hear my prayer, Lord, listen to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. I dwell with you as a foreigner, a stranger, as all my ancestors were.
