The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;

You shine brightly and reveal your majesty, as you descend from the hills where you killed your prey.

O God, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!

His lightning bolts light up the world; the earth sees and trembles.

He spread out a cloud for a cover, and provided a fire to light up the night.

Your instructions are a doorway through which light shines. They give insight to the untrained.

Smile on your servant! Teach me your statutes!

God placed the lights in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth,

to turn back his life from the place of corruption, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.

It leaves a glistening wake behind it; one would think the deep had a head of white hair.

Smile on your servant! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!

O God, invincible warrior, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!

O Lord God, invincible warrior, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!

The poor person and the oppressor have this in common: the Lord gives light to the eyes of them both.

and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.” It was so.

“You are to make its seven lamps, and then set its lamps up on it, so that it will give light to the area in front of it.

Look at me! Answer me, O Lord my God! Revive me, or else I will die!

Indeed, you are my lamp, Lord. My God illuminates the darkness around me.

The Lord’s precepts are fair and make one joyful. The Lord’s commands are pure and give insight for life.

For the music director; to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm, a song. May God show us his favor and bless us! May he smile on us! (Selah)
