Sing to Yahweh a new song;
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.
Sing to Yahweh, bless His name;
Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.
Recount His glory among the nations,
His wondrous deeds among all the peoples.
For great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised;
He is more fearsome than all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But Yahweh made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
Ascribe to Yahweh, O families of the peoples,

Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;
Lift up an offering and come into His courts.
Worship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness;
Tremble before Him, all the earth.
Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns;
Indeed, the world is established, it will not be shaken;
He will render justice to the peoples with equity.”

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, as well as its fullness;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
Before Yahweh, for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in His faithfulness.

Come, let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before Yahweh our Maker.
For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.
Today, if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
“When your fathers tried Me,
They tested Me, though they had seen My work.
For forty years I loathed that generation,
And said they are a people who wander in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.
Therefore I swore in My anger,
They shall never enter into My rest.”

Blessed is the man whom You discipline, O Yah,
And whom You teach out of Your law;
That You may grant him calm from the days of calamity,
Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
For Yahweh will not abandon His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
For judgment will again be righteous,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.

Yahweh reigns, He is clothed with majesty;
Yahweh has clothed and girded Himself with strength;
Indeed, the world is established, it will not be shaken.
Your throne is established from of old;
You are from everlasting.

It is good to give thanks to Yahweh
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by night,
With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp,
With resounding music upon the lyre.
For You, O Yahweh, have made me glad by what You have done,
I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree,
He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Planted in the house of Yahweh,
They will flourish in the courts of our God.
They will still yield fruit in old age;
They shall be rich and fresh,
To declare that Yahweh is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

He who abides in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to Yahweh, “My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!”
For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the destructive pestilence.
He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you will take refuge;
His truth is a large shield and bulwark.
You will not be afraid of terror by night,
Or arrow that flies by day;
Of pestilence that moves in darkness,
Or of destruction that devastates at noon.
A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But it shall not approach you.
You will only look on with your eyes
And see the recompense of the wicked.
For you have made Yahweh—my refuge,
The Most High—your dwelling place.
No evil will befall you,
And no plague will come near your tent.
For He will command His angels concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the fierce lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.
“Because he has loved Me, therefore I will protect him;
I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in his distress;
I will rescue him and honor him.
With a long life I will satisfy him
And I will show him My salvation.”

Lord, You have been our dwelling place from generation to generation.
Before the mountains were born
Or You brought forth the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
•••

Let Your work appear to Your slaves
And Your majesty to their sons.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us;
And establish for us the work of our hands;
Establish the work of our hands.

The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The world and its fullness, You have founded them.
The north and the south, You have created them;
Tabor and Hermon sing with joy at Your name.
You have a mighty arm;
Your hand is strong, Your right hand is exalted.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Lovingkindness and truth go before You.
How blessed are the people who know the loud shout of joy!
O Yahweh, they walk in the light of Your face.
In Your name they rejoice all the day,
And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
For You are the beauty of their strength,
And by Your favor our horn is exalted.
For our shield belongs to Yahweh,
And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

Blessed be Yahweh forever!
Amen and Amen.

But as for me, O Yahweh, I have cried out to You for help,
And in the morning my prayer comes before You.

One of my favorite Psalms

Incline Your ear, O Yahweh, and answer me;
For I am afflicted and needy.
Keep my soul, for I am a holy one;
O You my God, save Your slave who trusts in You.
Be gracious to me, O Lord,
For to You I call all day long.
Make glad the soul of Your slave,
For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
For You, Lord, are good, and by nature forgiving,
And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.
Give ear, O Yahweh, to my prayer;
And give heed to the voice of my supplications!
In the day of my distress I shall call upon You,
For You will answer me.
There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord,
Nor are there any works like Yours.All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord,
And they shall glorify Your name.
For You are great and do wondrous deeds;
You alone are God.

Teach me Your way, O Yahweh;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.
I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
And will glorify Your name forever.
For Your lovingkindness toward me is great,
And You have delivered my soul from Sheol below.

O God, arrogant men have risen up against me,
And a band of ruthless men have sought my life,
And they have not set You before them.
But You, O Lord, are a God compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.
Turn to me, and be gracious to me;
Oh grant Your strength to Your slave,
And save the son of Your maidservant.
Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Yahweh, have helped me and comforted me.
