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.
