Viewing Multiple Passages

1 Lord, I trust in you; let me never be disgraced. Save me because you do what is right.

2 Listen to me and save me quickly. Be my rock of protection, a strong city to save me.

3 You are my rock and my protection. For the good of your name, lead me and guide me.

4 Set me free from the trap they set for me, because you are my protection.

5 I give you my life. Save me, Lord, God of truth.

6 I hate those who worship false gods. I trust only in the Lord.

7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love, because you saw my suffering; you knew my troubles.

8 You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place.

9 Lord, have mercy, because I am in misery. My eyes are weak from so much crying, and my whole being is tired from grief.

10 My life is ending in sadness, and my years are spent in crying. My troubles are using up my strength, and my bones are getting weaker.

11 Because of all my troubles, my enemies hate me, and even my neighbors look down on me. When my friends see me, they are afraid and run.

12 I am like a piece of a broken pot. I am forgotten as if I were dead.

13 I have heard many insults. Terror is all around me. They make plans against me and want to kill me.

14 Lord, I trust you. I have said, "You are my God."

15 My life is in your hands. Save me from my enemies and from those who are chasing me.

16 Show your kindness to me, your servant. Save me because of your love.

17 Lord, I called to you, so do not let me be disgraced. Let the wicked be disgraced and lie silent in the grave.

18 With pride and hatred they speak against those who do right. So silence their lying lips.

19 How great is your goodness that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you have given to those who trust you. You do this for all to see.

20 You protect them by your presence from what people plan against them. You shelter them from evil words.

21 Praise the Lord. His love to me was wonderful when my city was attacked.

22 In my distress, I said, "God cannot see me!" But you heard my prayer when I cried out to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all you who belong to him. The Lord protects those who truly believe, but he punishes the proud as much as they have sinned.

24 All you who put your hope in the Lord be strong and brave. A maskil of David.

1 Happy is the person whose sins are forgiven, whose wrongs are pardoned.

2 Happy is the person whom the Lord does not consider guilty and in whom there is nothing false.

3 When I kept things to myself, I felt weak deep inside me. I moaned all day long.

4 Day and night you punished me. My strength was gone as in the summer heat.Selah

5 Then I confessed my sins to you and didn't hide my guilt. I said, "I will confess my sins to the Lord," and you forgave my guilt.Selah

6 For this reason, all who obey you should pray to you while they still can. When troubles rise like a flood, they will not reach them.

7 You are my hiding place. You protect me from my troubles and fill me with songs of salvation.Selah

8 The Lord says, "I will make you wise and show you where to go. I will guide you and watch over you.

9 So don't be like a horse or donkey, that doesn't understand. They must be led with bits and reins, or they will not come near you."

10 Wicked people have many troubles, but the Lord's love surrounds those who trust him.

11 Good people, rejoice and be happy in the Lord. Sing all you whose hearts are right.
