The Lord looks down from heaven at the human race, to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God.

All those who behave wickedly do not understand – those who devour my people as if they were eating bread, and do not call out to the Lord.

A psalm of David. Lord, who may be a guest in your home? Who may live on your holy hill?

He despises a reprobate, but honors the Lord’s loyal followers. He makes firm commitments and does not renege on his promise.

I will praise the Lord who guides me; yes, during the night I reflect and learn.

A prayer of David. Lord, consider my just cause! Pay attention to my cry for help! Listen to the prayer I sincerely offer!

Rise up, Lord! Confront him! Knock him down! Use your sword to rescue me from the wicked man!

The Lord thundered in the sky; the sovereign One shouted.

The depths of the sea were exposed; the inner regions of the world were uncovered by your battle cry, Lord, by the powerful breath from your nose.

The Lord rewarded me for my godly deeds; he took notice of my blameless behavior.

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

The one true God acts in a faithful manner; the Lord’s promise is reliable; he is a shield to all who take shelter in him.

Indeed, who is God besides the Lord? Who is a protector besides our God?

May my words and my thoughts be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my sheltering rock and my redeemer.

For the music director; a psalm of David. May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble; may the God of Jacob make you secure!

Then we will shout for joy over your victory; we will rejoice in the name of our God! May the Lord grant all your requests!

Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we depend on the Lord our God.

For the music director; a psalm of David. O Lord, the king rejoices in the strength you give; he takes great delight in the deliverance you provide.

For the king trusts in the Lord, and because of the sovereign Lord’s faithfulness he is not upended.

You burn them up like a fiery furnace when you appear; the Lord angrily devours them; the fire consumes them.
