1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged
me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how
long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for
himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your
bed, and be still. Selah.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the
LORD.
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou
up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that
their corn and their wine increased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only
makest me dwell in safety.
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God;
in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and
from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt
thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the
arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the
destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right
hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the
wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the
most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come
nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in
all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot
against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the
dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver
him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him
in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
1 Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by
night stand in the house of the LORD.
2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.
3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.
