God

The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.

You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.

How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.

The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon the LORD.

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is in the company of the righteous.

You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed, yet the LORD is their shelter.

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!

O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?

who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath,

Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.

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

As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.

The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.

I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.

I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.

Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer— it comes from lips free of deceit.

May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right.

You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.
