Psalms 28; Psalms 47; Psalms 134; Psalms 146

1 To You, O LORD , I call; My rock, do not be deaf to me, For if You are silent to me, I will become like those who go down to the pit.

2 Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who work iniquity, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts.

4 Requite them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices; Requite them according to the deeds of their hands; Repay them their recompense.

5 Because they do not regard the works of the LORD Nor the deeds of His hands, He will tear them down and not build them up.

6 Blessed be the LORD , Because He has heard the voice of my supplication.

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.

8 The LORD is their strength, And He is a saving defense to His anointed.

9 Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever .

1 O clap your hands, all peoples; Shout to God with the voice of joy.

2 For the LORD Most High is to be feared, A great King over all the earth.

3 He subdues peoples under us And nations under our feet.

4 He chooses our inheritance for us, The glory of Jacob whom He loves. Selah.

5 God has ascended with a shout, The LORD , with the sound of a trumpet.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; Sing praises to our King, sing praises.

7 For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with a skillful psalm.

8 God reigns over the nations, God sits on His holy throne.

9 The princes of the people have assembled themselves as the people of the God of Abraham, For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.

1 Behold, bless the LORD , all servants of the LORD , Who serve by night in the house of the LORD !

2 Lift up your hands to the sanctuary And bless the LORD .

3 May the LORD bless you from Zion, He who made heaven and earth.

1 Praise the LORD ! Praise the LORD , O my soul!

2 I will praise the LORD while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Do not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.

5 How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6 Who made heaven and earth, The sea and all that is in them; Who keeps faith forever;

7 Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free.

8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; The LORD raises up those who are bowed down; The LORD loves the righteous;

9 The LORD protects the strangers; He supports the fatherless and the widow, But He thwarts the way of the wicked.

10 The LORD will reign forever, Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD !
