2Blessed is the man
whose sin the LORD does not count against him
and in whose spirit is no deceit.

3When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.

4For day and night
your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.
Selah

5Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the LORD”—
and you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
Selah

6Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you
while you may be found;
surely when the mighty waters rise,
they will not reach him.

7You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
Selah

8I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you.

9Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.

10Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the LORD's unfailing love
surrounds the man who trusts in him.

11Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!

2Praise the LORD with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.

3Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.

4For the word of the LORD is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.

5The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.

8Let all the earth fear the LORD;
let all the people of the world revere him.

9For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.

10The LORD foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.

11But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.

12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people he chose for his inheritance.

13From heaven the LORD looks down
and sees all mankind;

14from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—

15he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.

16No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.

17A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.

18But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

19to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.

20We wait in hope for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield.

21In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.

22May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD,
even as we put our hope in you.
