God

Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.

Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.

I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.

Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.

In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.

For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.

The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.

You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.

Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.

Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.

For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.

O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony.

My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?

Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.

For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol?

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard my weeping.

The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.

O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,

O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,

Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.

Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
