For the sake of the temple of the Lord our God I will pray for you to prosper.

For the music director; by David. Fools say to themselves, “There is no God.” They sin and commit evil deeds; none of them does what is right.

But as for me, God’s presence is all I need. I have made the sovereign Lord my shelter, as I declare all the things you have done.

A psalm; a song for the Sabbath day. It is fitting to thank the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O sovereign One!

It is as if I have been given fertile fields or received a beautiful tract of land.

How great is your favor, which you store up for your loyal followers! In plain sight of everyone you bestow it on those who take shelter in you.

For the music director; according to the machalath style; a well-written song by David. Fools say to themselves, “There is no God.” They sin and commit evil deeds; none of them does what is right.

For you bring him rich blessings; you place a golden crown on his head.

The Lord promotes equity and justice; the Lord’s faithfulness extends throughout the earth.

The Lord grants success to the one whose behavior he finds commendable.

Sing to the Lord! Praise his name! Announce every day how he delivers!

It goes well for the one who generously lends money, and conducts his business honestly.

Show me evidence of your favor! Then those who hate me will see it and be ashamed, for you, O Lord, will help me and comfort me.

I will sing praises to the Lord when he vindicates me.

They experience his favor; their descendants inherit the land.

Be strong and confident, all you who wait on the Lord!

The godly speak wise words and promote justice.

The mountains were covered by its shadow, the highest cedars by its branches.
