25[A psalm of David.] O LORD, I give my life to you.H1732H3068H5375H5315 2I trust in you, my God! Do not let me be disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.H430H982H954H341H5970 3No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.H6960H954H954H898H7387 4Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow.H3045H1870H3068H3925H734 5Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.H1869H571H3925H430H3468H6960H3117 6Remember, O LORD, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past.H2142H3068H7356H2617H5769 7Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O LORD.H2142H2403H5271H6588H2617H2142H2898H3068 8The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray.H2896H3477H3068H3384H2400H1870 9He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way.H6035H1869H4941H6035H3925H1870 10The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.H734H3068H2617H571H5341H1285H5713 11For the honor of your name, O LORD, forgive my many, many sins.H8034H3068H5545H5771H7227 12Who are those who fear the LORD? He will show them the path they should choose.H376H3373H3068H3384H1870H977 13They will live in prosperity, and their children will inherit the land.H5315H3885H2896H2233H3423H776 14The LORD is a friend to those who fear him. He teaches them his covenant.H5475H3068H3373H3045H1285 15My eyes are always on the LORD, for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies.H5869H8548H3068H3318H7272H7568 16Turn to me and have mercy, for I am alone and in deep distress.H6437H2603H3173H6041 17My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all!H6869H3824H7337H3318H4691 18Feel my pain and see my trouble. Forgive all my sins.H7200H6040H5999H5375H2403 19See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me!H7200H341H7231H8130H2555H8135 20Protect me! Rescue my life from them! Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge.H8104H5315H5337H954H2620 21May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.H8537H3476H5341H6960 22O God, ransom Israel from all its troubles.H6299H3478H430H6869

29[A psalm of David.] Honor the LORD, you heavenly beings; honor the LORD for his glory and strength.H4210H1732H3051H3068H1121H410H3051H3068H3519H5797 2Honor the LORD for the glory of his name. Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.H3051H3068H3519H8034H7812H3068H1927H6944 3The voice of the LORD echoes above the sea. The God of glory thunders. The LORD thunders over the mighty sea.H6963H3068H4325H410H3519H7481H3068H7227H4325 4The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.H6963H3068H3581H6963H3068H1926 5The voice of the LORD splits the mighty cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.H6963H3068H7665H730H3068H7665H730H3844 6He makes Lebanon's mountains skip like a calf; he makes Mount Hermon leap like a young wild ox.H7540H5695H3844H8303H1121H7214 7The voice of the LORD strikes with bolts of lightning.H6963H3068H2672H3852H784 8The voice of the LORD makes the barren wilderness quake; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.H6963H3068H2342H4057H3068H2342H4057H6946 9The voice of the LORD twists mighty oaks and strips the forests bare. In his Temple everyone shouts, "Glory!"H6963H3068H355H2342H2834H3295H1964H559H3519 10The LORD rules over the floodwaters. The LORD reigns as king forever.H3068H3427H3999H3068H3427H4428H5769 11The LORD gives his people strength. The LORD blesses them with peace.H3068H5414H5797H5971H3068H1288H5971H7965

33Let the godly sing for joy to the LORD; it is fitting for the pure to praise him.H7442H3068H6662H8416H5000H3477 2Praise the LORD with melodies on the lyre; make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.H3034H3068H3658H2167H5035H6218 3Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.H7891H2319H7892H5059H3190H8643 4For the word of the LORD holds true, and we can trust everything he does.H1697H3068H3477H4639H530 5He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the LORD fills the earth.H157H6666H4941H776H4390H2617H3068 6The LORD merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born.H1697H3068H8064H6213H6635H7307H6310 7He assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.H3664H4325H3220H5067H5414H8415H214 8Let the whole world fear the LORD, and let everyone stand in awe of him.H776H3372H3068H3427H8398H1481 9For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command.H559H6680H5975 10The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes.H3068H6331H6098H1471H6331H5106H4284H5971H5106 11But the LORD's plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.H6098H3068H5975H5769H4284H3820H1755H1755 12What joy for the nation whose God is the LORD, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.H835H1471H430H3068H5971H977H5159 13The LORD looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race.H3068H5027H8064H7200H1121H120 14From his throne he observes all who live on the earth.H4349H3427H7688H3427H776 15He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do.H3335H3820H3162H995H4639 16The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.H4428H3467H7230H2428H1368H5337H7230H3581 17Don't count on your warhorse to give you victory—for all its strength, it cannot save you.H5483H8267H8668H4422H7230H2428 18But the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love.H5869H3068H3373H3176H2617 19He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine.H5337H5315H4194H2421H7458 20We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield.H5315H2442H3068H5828H4043 21In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.H3820H8055H982H6944H8034 22Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone.H2617H3068H3176

36[For the choir director: A psalm of David, the servant of the LORD.] Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all.H5329H1732H5650H3068H6588H7563H5002H7130H3820H6343H430H5869 2In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are.H2505H5869H5771H4672H8130 3Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do good.H1697H6310H205H4820H2308H7919H3190 4They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil.H2803H205H4904H3320H1870H2896H3988H7451 5Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.H2617H3068H8064H530H7834 6Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O LORD.H6666H410H2042H4941H7227H8415H3068H3467H120H929 7How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.H3368H2617H430H1121H120H2620H6738H3671 8You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights.H7301H1880H1004H8248H5158H5730 9For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.H4726H2416H216H7200H216 10Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts.H4900H2617H3045H6666H3477H3820 11Don't let the proud trample me or the wicked push me around.H7272H1346H935H3027H7563H5110 12Look! Those who do evil have fallen! They are thrown down, never to rise again.H6466H205H5307H1760H3201H6965

39[For Jeduthun, the choir director: A psalm of David.] I said to myself, "I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me."H5329H3038H4210H1732H559H8104H1870H2398H3956H8104H6310H4269H7563 2But as I stood there in silence—not even speaking of good things—the turmoil within me grew worse.H481H1747H2814H2896H3511H5916 3The more I thought about it, the hotter I got, igniting a fire of words.H3820H2552H7130H1901H784H1197H227H1696H3956 4"LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered—how fleeting my life is.H3068H3045H7093H4060H3117H3045H2310 5You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath." InterludeH5414H3117H2947H2465H3605H120H5324H3605H1892H5542 6We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it.H376H1980H6754H1993H1892H6651H3045H622 7And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.H136H6960H8431 8Rescue me from my rebellion. Do not let fools mock me.H5337H6588H7760H2781H5036 9I am silent before you; I won't say a word, for my punishment is from you.H481H6605H6310H6213 10But please stop striking me! I am exhausted by the blows from your hand.H5493H5061H5493H3615H8409H3027 11When you discipline us for our sins, you consume like a moth what is precious to us. Each of us is but a breath. InterludeH8433H3256H376H5771H2530H4529H6211H120H1892H5542 12Hear my prayer, O LORD! Listen to my cries for help! Don't ignore my tears. For I am your guest—a traveler passing through, as my ancestors were before me.H8085H8605H3068H238H7775H2790H1832H1616H8453H1 13Leave me alone so I can smile again before I am gone and exist no more.H8159H1082H3212
