when he responds to the prayer of the destitute, and does not reject their request.

to the one who remembered us when we were down, for his loyal love endures,

He gives food to the animals, and to the young ravens when they chirp.

The godly will rejoice when they see vengeance carried out; they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.

The Lord deserves praise for he demonstrated his amazing faithfulness to me when I was besieged by enemies.

O God, you cause abundant showers to fall on your chosen people. When they are tired, you sustain them,

When you send your life-giving breath, they are created, and you replenish the surface of the ground.

Let all the kings of the earth give thanks to you, O Lord, when they hear the words you speak.

As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

When I look up at the heavens, which your fingers made, and see the moon and the stars, which you set in place,

As for me, because I am innocent I will see your face; when I awake you will reveal yourself to me.

I thirst for God, for the living God. I say, “When will I be able to go and appear in God’s presence?”

A psalm of David. O Lord, I cry out to you. Come quickly to me! Pay attention to me when I cry out to you!

when he performed his awesome deeds in Egypt, and his acts of judgment in the region of Zoan.

A song of ascents, by David. Look! How good and how pleasant it is when brothers live together!

When they hear of my exploits, they submit to me. Foreigners are powerless before me;

until the time when his prediction came true. The Lord’s word proved him right.

I have prayed for deliverance, because otherwise they will gloat over me; when my foot slips they will arrogantly taunt me.

When they were sick, I wore sackcloth, and refrained from eating food. (If I am lying, may my prayers go unanswered!)

Do not ignore me in my time of trouble! Listen to me! When I call out to you, quickly answer me!
