And now, Lord, what do I hope in?
My expectation is in You.
Deliver me from all my transgressions;
Make me not the reproach of the wicked fool.
I have become mute, I do not open my mouth,
Because it is You who have done it.
Remove Your plague from me;
Because of the opposition of Your hand I am wasting away.
With reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity;
You consume as a moth what is precious to him;
Surely every man is vanity. Selah.

“Hear my prayer, O Yahweh, and give ear to my cry for help;
Do not be silent at my tears;
For I am a sojourner with You,
A foreign resident like all my fathers.
Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may smile again
Before I go and am no more.”

Do not forsake me, O Yahweh;
O my God, do not be far from me!
Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation!

Do not fret because of evildoers,
Be not envious toward doers of unrighteousness.
For they will wither quickly like the grass
And fade like the green herb.

Trust in Yahweh and do good;
Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
Delight yourself in Yahweh;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to Yahweh,
Trust in Him, and He will do it.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And your judgment as the noonday.

Be still in Yahweh and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out schemes of wickedness.

Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who hope for Yahweh, they will inherit the land.

Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more;
You will look carefully at his place, and he will not be there.
But the lowly will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in abundant peace.

Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, is in the heavens,
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
Your judgments are like a great deep.
O Yahweh, You save man and beast.
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
And the sons of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
They are satisfied from the richness of Your house;
And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.
For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.
Continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
Let not the foot of pride come upon me,
And let not the hand of the ungodly drive me away.
There the workers of wickedness have fallen;
They have been thrust down and cannot rise.

my soul shall rejoice in Yahweh;
It shall be joyful in His salvation.
All my bones will say, “Yahweh, who is like You,
Who delivers the afflicted from him who is too strong for him,
And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?”
Malicious witnesses rise up,
Who ask me of things that I do not know.

I will bless Yahweh at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul will make its boast in Yahweh;
The humble will hear it and rejoice.
O magnify Yahweh with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
I inquired of Yahweh, and He answered me,
And delivered me from all that I dread.

By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear Yahweh;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For He spoke, and it was;
He commanded, and it stood.
Yahweh nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the thoughts of the peoples.
The counsel of Yahweh stands forever,
The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
•••
Our soul is patient for Yahweh;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart is glad in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
Let Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, be upon us,
As we wait for You.

How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered!
How blessed is the man whose iniquity Yahweh will not take into account,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit!
•••
When I kept silent about my sin, my bones wasted away
Through my groaning all day long.
For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was drained away as with the heat of summer. Selah.
I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I did not cover up;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh;”
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
Therefore, let every holy one pray to You at a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.
You are my hiding place; You guard me from trouble;
You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

Oh, love Yahweh, all you His holy ones!
Yahweh guards the faithful
But repays fully the one who acts in lofty pride.
Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who wait for Yahweh.

O Yahweh my God,
I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
O Yahweh, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;
You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.
Sing praise to Yahweh, you His holy ones,
And give thanks for the remembrance of His holy name.
For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for a lifetime;
Weeping may last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
•••
Hear, O Yahweh, and be gracious to me;
O Yahweh, be my helper.”
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,
That my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
