1  ^oThe earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof,¹

^pthe world and those who dwell therein,

2  for he has founded it upon the seas

and established it upon the rivers.

3  ^qWho shall ascend the hill of the Lord?

And who shall stand in his holy place?

4  He who has ^rclean hands and a ^spure heart,

who does not lift up his soul to what is false

and does not swear deceitfully.

5  He will receive blessing from the Lord

and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6  Such is the generation of those who seek him,

who ^tseek the face of the God of Jacob.² Selah

7  Lift up your heads, O gates!

And be lifted up, O ancient doors,

that the King of glory may come in.

8  Who is this King of glory?

The Lord, strong and mighty,

the Lord, ^umighty in battle!

9  Lift up your heads, O gates!

And lift them up, O ancient doors,

that the King of glory may come in.

10  Who is this King of glory?

The Lord of hosts,

he is the King of glory! Selah

1  Give ear, O ^xShepherd of Israel,

you who ^ylead Joseph like a flock.

You who are ^zenthroned upon the cherubim, ^ashine forth.

2  Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,

stir up your might

and come to save us!

3  Restore us,¹ O God;

^blet your face shine, that we may be saved!

4  O Lord God of hosts,

how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?

5  ^cYou have fed them with the bread of tears

and given them ^dtears to drink in full measure.

6  You make us an object of contention for our neighbors,

and our enemies laugh among themselves.

7  Restore us, O God of hosts;

let your face shine, that we may be saved!

8  You brought a ^evine out of Egypt;

you drove out the nations and planted it.

9  You cleared the ground for it;

it took deep root and filled the land.

10  The mountains were covered with its shade,

the mighty cedars with its branches.

11  It sent out its branches ^fto the sea

and its shoots to the River.²

12  Why then have you ^gbroken down its walls,

so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?

13  The boar from the forest ravages it,

and all that move in the field feed on it.

14  Turn again, O God of hosts!

Look down from heaven, and see;

^hhave regard for this vine,

15  the stock that your right hand planted,

and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.

16  They have burned it with fire; they have cut it down;

may they perish at the rebuke of your face!

17  But let your hand be on the man of your right hand,

the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!

18  Then we shall not turn back from you;

give us life, and we will call upon your name!

19  Restore us, O Lord God of hosts!

ⁱLet your face shine, that we may be saved!

1  Praise the Lord!

^sSing to the Lord a new song,

his praise in the assembly of the godly!

2  ^tLet Israel be glad in his Maker;

let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!

3  Let them praise his name with ^udancing,

making melody to him with ^vtambourine and lyre!

4  For the Lord ^wtakes pleasure in his people;

he adorns the humble with salvation.

5  Let the godly exult in glory;

let them sing for joy on their beds.

6  Let the ^xhigh praises of God be in their throats

and two-edged swords in their hands,

7  to execute vengeance on the nations

and punishments on the peoples,

8  to bind their kings with chains

and their nobles with fetters of iron,

9  to execute on them the judgment written!

This is honor for all his godly ones.

Praise the Lord!

1  ^oMay the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!

May the ^pname of the God of Jacob protect you!

2  May he send you help from the sanctuary

and give you support from Zion!

3  May he remember all your offerings

and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah

4  May he ^qgrant you your heart’s desire

and fulfill all your plans!

5  May we shout for joy over your salvation,

and in the name of our God set up our banners!

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!

6  Now I know that the Lord saves his ^ranointed;

he will answer him from his holy heaven

with the saving might of his right hand.

7  ^sSome trust in chariots and some in ^thorses,

but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

8  They collapse and fall,

but we rise and stand upright.

9  O Lord, save the king!

May he answer us when we call.

1  ^eI will extol you, my God and King,

and bless your name forever and ever.

2  Every day I will bless you

and praise your name forever and ever.

3  ^fGreat is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,

and his greatness is ^gunsearchable.

4  One generation shall commend your works to another,

and shall declare your mighty acts.

5  On the glorious splendor of your majesty,

and ^hon your wondrous works, I will ⁱmeditate.

6  They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,

and I will declare your greatness.

7  They shall ^jpour forth the fame of your abundant goodness

and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

8  The Lord is ^kgracious and merciful,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

9  The Lord is good to all,

and his mercy is over all that he has made.

10  ^lAll your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,

and all your saints shall bless you!

11  They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom

and tell of your power,

12  to ^mmake known to the children of man your² mighty deeds,

and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

13  Your kingdom is an ⁿeverlasting kingdom,

and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

[The Lord is faithful in all his words

and kind in all his works.³]

14  The Lord upholds all who are falling

and ^oraises up all who are bowed down.

15  The eyes of all look to you,

and you ^pgive them their food in due season.

16  You ^qopen your hand;

you satisfy the desire of every living thing.

17  The Lord is righteous in all his ways

and kind in all his works.

18  The Lord is ^rnear to all who call on him,

to all who call on him in truth.

19  He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;

he also hears their cry and saves them.

20  The Lord ^spreserves all who love him,

but all the wicked he will destroy.

21  My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,

and ^tlet all flesh ^ubless his holy name forever and ever.

1  ^bThe ^cheavens declare the glory of God,

and the sky above¹ proclaims his handiwork.

2  Day to day pours out speech,

and night to night reveals knowledge.

3  There is no speech, nor are there words,

whose voice is not heard.

4  ^dTheir voice² goes out through all the earth,

and their words to the end of the world.

In them he has set a tent for the sun,

5  which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,

and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.

6  Its rising is from the end of the heavens,

and its circuit to the end of them,

and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

7  ^eThe law of the Lord is perfect,³

^freviving the soul;

the testimony of the Lord is ^gsure,

^hmaking wise the simple;

8  the precepts of the Lord are right,

rejoicing the heart;

the commandment of the Lord is pure,

enlightening the eyes;

9  the fear of the Lord is clean,

enduring forever;

the rules⁴ of the Lord are true,

and righteous altogether.

10  More to be desired are they than ⁱgold,

even much fine gold;

^jsweeter also than honey

and drippings of the honeycomb.

11  Moreover, by them is your servant warned;

in keeping them there is great reward.

12  Who can discern his errors?

Declare me innocent from ^khidden faults.

13  Keep back your servant also from ^lpresumptuous sins;

let them not have ^mdominion over me!

Then I shall be blameless,

and innocent of great transgression.

14  ⁿLet the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable in your sight,

O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

1  O Lord, I call upon you; ^ghasten to me!

Give ear to my voice when I call to you!

2  Let my ^hprayer be counted as incense before you,

and the lifting up of my hands as ⁱthe evening sacrifice!

3  ^jSet a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;

^kkeep watch over the door of my lips!

4  Do not let my heart incline to any evil,

to busy myself with wicked deeds

in company with men who work iniquity,

and let me not eat of their delicacies!

5  ^lLet a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;

let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;

let my head not refuse it.

Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.

6  When their judges are thrown over the cliff,¹

then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.

7  As when one plows and breaks up the earth,

so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.²

8  But my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord;

in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!³

9  Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me

and from the snares of evildoers!

10  Let the wicked fall into their own ^mnets,

while I pass by safely.
