They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them.

The Lord is alive! My protector is praiseworthy! The God who delivers me is exalted as king!

So I will give you thanks before the nations, O Lord! I will sing praises to you!

The Lord will deliver the king; he will answer us when we call to him for help!

Rise up, O Lord, in strength! We will sing and praise your power!

But you, O Lord, do not remain far away! You are my source of strength! Hurry and help me!

Who is allowed to ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may go up to his holy dwelling place?

Such godly people are rewarded by the Lord, and vindicated by the God who delivers them.

Remember your compassionate and faithful deeds, O Lord, for you have always acted in this manner.

The Lord is both kind and fair; that is why he teaches sinners the right way to live.

The Lord always proves faithful and reliable to those who follow the demands of his covenant.

For the sake of your reputation, O Lord, forgive my sin, because it is great.

The Lord shows his faithful followers the way they should live.

I maintain a pure lifestyle, so I can appear before your altar, O Lord,

O Lord, I love the temple where you live, the place where your splendor is revealed.

Teach me how you want me to live; lead me along a level path because of those who wait to ambush me!

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!”
