God

Offer sacrifices rightly, and put your trust in ADONAI.

Many ask, "Who can show us some good?" ADONAI, lift the light of your face over us!

I will lie down and sleep in peace; for, ADONAI, you alone make me live securely.

For the leader. On wind instruments. A psalm of David: Give ear to my words, ADONAI, consider my inmost thoughts.

Listen to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I pray to you.

ADONAI, in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I lay my needs before you and wait expectantly.

For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; evil cannot remain with you.

Those who brag cannot stand before your eyes, you hate all who do evil,

you destroy those who tell lies, ADONAI detests men of blood and deceivers.

But I can enter your house because of your great grace and love; I will bow down toward your holy temple in reverence for you.

Lead me, ADONAI, in your righteousness because of those lying in wait for me; make your way straight before me.

God, declare them guilty! Let them fall through their own intrigues, For their many crimes, throw them down; since they have rebelled against you.

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice, let them forever shout for joy! Shelter them; and they will be glad, those who love your name.

For you, ADONAI, bless the righteous; you surround them with favor like a shield.

For the leader. With stringed instruments. On sh'minit [low-pitched musical instruments?]. A psalm of David: ADONAI, don't rebuke me in your anger, don't discipline me in the heat of your fury.

Be gracious to me, ADONAI, because I am withering away; heal me, ADONAI, because my bones are shaking;

I am completely terrified; and you, ADONAI - how long?

Come back, ADONAI, and rescue me! Save me for the sake of your grace;

for in death, no one remembers you; in Sh'ol, who will praise you?

Get away from me, all you workers of evil! For ADONAI has heard the sound of my weeping,

ADONAI has heard my pleading, ADONAI will accept my prayer.

A shiggayon of David, which he sang to ADONAI because of Kush the Ben-Y'mini: ADONAI my God, in you I take refuge. Save me from all my pursuers, and rescue me;

ADONAI my God, if I have caused this, if there is guilt on my hands,

Rise up, ADONAI, in your anger! Arouse yourself against the fury of my foes. Wake up for me; you commanded justice.

May the assembly of the peoples surround you; may you return to rule over them from on high.
