Where would I be if I did not believe I would experience the Lord’s favor in the land of the living?

The Lord strengthens his people; he protects and delivers his chosen king.

To you, O Lord, I cried out; I begged the Lord for mercy:

But I trust in you, O Lord! I declare, “You are my God!”

For the Lord’s decrees are just, and everything he does is fair.

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

By the Lord’s decree the heavens were made; by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created.

The Lord frustrates the decisions of the nations; he nullifies the plans of the peoples.

The Lord’s decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages.

The Lord watches from heaven; he sees all people.

Look, the Lord takes notice of his loyal followers, those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness

May we experience your faithfulness, O Lord, for we wait for you.

I sought the Lord’s help and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

The Lord’s angel camps around the Lord’s loyal followers and delivers them.

Come children! Listen to me! I will teach you what it means to fear the Lord.

The Lord pays attention to the godly and hears their cry for help.

But the Lord opposes evildoers and wipes out all memory of them from the earth.

The godly face many dangers, but the Lord saves them from each one of them.

By David. O Lord, fight those who fight with me! Attack those who attack me!

May they be like wind-driven chaff, as the Lord’s angel attacks them!
