Psalms 25; Psalms 29; Psalms 33; Psalms 36; Psalms 39

1 Lord, I give myself to you;

2 my God, I trust you. Do not let me be disgraced; do not let my enemies laugh at me.

3 No one who trusts you will be disgraced, but those who sin without excuse will be disgraced.

4 Lord, tell me your ways. Show me how to live.

5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me, my God, my Savior. I trust you all day long.

6 Lord, remember your mercy and love that you have shown since long ago.

7 Do not remember the sins and wrong things I did when I was young. But remember to love me always because you are good, Lord.

8 The Lord is good and right; he points sinners to the right way.

9 He shows those who are humble how to do right, and he teaches them his ways.

10 All the Lord's ways are loving and true for those who follow the demands of his agreement.

11 For the sake of your name, Lord, forgive my many sins.

12 Are there those who respect the Lord? He will point them to the best way.

13 They will enjoy a good life, and their children will inherit the land.

14 The Lord tells his secrets to those who respect him; he tells them about his agreement.

15 My eyes are always looking to the Lord for help. He will keep me from any traps.

16 Turn to me and have mercy on me, because I am lonely and hurting.

17 My troubles have grown larger; free me from my problems.

18 Look at my suffering and troubles, and take away all my sins.

19 Look at how many enemies I have! See how much they hate me!

20 Protect me and save me. I trust you, so do not let me be disgraced.

21 My hope is in you, so may goodness and honesty guard me.

22 God, save Israel from all their troubles! Of David.

1 Praise the Lord, you angels; praise the Lord's glory and power.

2 Praise the Lord for the glory of his name; worship the Lord because he is holy.

3 The Lord's voice is heard over the sea. The glorious God thunders; the Lord thunders over the ocean.

4 The Lord's voice is powerful; the Lord's voice is majestic.

5 The Lord's voice breaks the trees; the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He makes the land of Lebanon dance like a calf and Mount Hermon jump like a baby bull.

7 The Lord's voice makes the lightning flash.

8 The Lord's voice shakes the desert; the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.

9 The Lord's voice shakes the oaks and strips the leaves off the trees. In his Temple everyone says, "Glory to God!"

10 The Lord controls the flood. The Lord will be King forever.

11 The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace. A psalm of David. A song for giving the Temple to the Lord.

1 Sing to the Lord, you who do what is right; honest people should praise him.

2 Praise the Lord on the harp; make music for him on a ten-stringed lyre.

3 Sing a new song to him; play well and joyfully.

4 God's word is true, and everything he does is right.

5 He loves what is right and fair; the Lord's love fills the earth.

6 The sky was made at the Lord's command. By the breath from his mouth, he made all the stars.

7 He gathered the water of the sea into a heap. He made the great ocean stay in its place.

8 All the earth should worship the Lord; the whole world should fear him.

9 He spoke, and it happened. He commanded, and it appeared.

10 The Lord upsets the plans of nations; he ruins all their plans.

11 But the Lord's plans will stand forever; his ideas will last from now on.

12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his very own.

13 The Lord looks down from heaven and sees every person.

14 From his throne he watches all who live on earth.

15 He made their hearts and understands everything they do.

16 No king is saved by his great army. No warrior escapes by his great strength.

17 Horses can't bring victory; they can't save by their strength.

18 But the Lord looks after those who fear him, those who put their hope in his love.

19 He saves them from death and spares their lives in times of hunger.

20 So our hope is in the Lord. He is our help, our shield to protect us.

21 We rejoice in him, because we trust his holy name.

22 Lord, show your love to us as we put our hope in you. David's song from the time he acted crazy so Abimelech would send him away, and David did leave.

1 Sin speaks to the wicked in their hearts. They have no fear of God.

2 They think too much of themselves so they don't see their sin and hate it.

3 Their words are wicked lies; they are no longer wise or good.

4 At night they make evil plans; what they do leads to nothing good. They don't refuse things that are evil.

5 Lord, your love reaches to the heavens, your loyalty to the skies.

6 Your goodness is as high as the mountains. Your justice is as deep as the great ocean. Lord, you protect both people and animals.

7 God, your love is so precious! You protect people in the shadow of your wings.

8 They eat the rich food in your house, and you let them drink from your river of pleasure.

9 You are the giver of life. Your light lets us enjoy life.

10 Continue to love those who know you and to do good to those who are good.

11 Don't let proud people attack me and the wicked force me away.

12 Those who do evil have been defeated. They are overwhelmed; they cannot do evil any longer. Of David.

1 I said, "I will be careful how I act and will not sin by what I say. I will be careful what I say around wicked people."

2 So I kept very quiet. I didn't even say anything good, but I became even more upset.

3 I became very angry inside, and as I thought about it, my anger burned. So I spoke:

4 "Lord, tell me when the end will come and how long I will live. Let me know how long I have.

5 You have given me only a short life; my lifetime is like nothing to you. Everyone's life is only a breath.Selah

6 People are like shadows moving about. All their work is for nothing; they collect things but don't know who will get them.

7 "So, Lord, what hope do I have? You are my hope.

8 Save me from all my sins. Don't let wicked fools make fun of me.

9 I am quiet; I do not open my mouth, because you are the one who has done this.

10 Quit punishing me; your beating is about to kill me.

11 You correct and punish people for their sins; like a moth, you destroy what they love. Everyone's life is only a breath.Selah

12 "Lord, hear my prayer, and listen to my cry. Do not ignore my tears. I am like a visitor with you. Like my ancestors, I'm only here a short time.

13 Leave me alone so I can be happy before I leave and am no more." For the director of music. A psalm of David.
