Psalm 1
1Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.2But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.3He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.4Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.6For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Psalm 21Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?2The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One. 3″Let us break their chains,” they say, “and throw off their fetters.”4The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.5Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,6″I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill.”7I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me, “You are my Son ; today I have become your Father. 8Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.9You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”10Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.11Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling.12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Psalm 31Psalm 3 A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.1O LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!2Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah 3But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.4To the LORD I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah5I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.6I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side.7Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.8From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. Selah
Psalm 41Psalm 4 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.1Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer.2How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? Selah3Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD will hear when I call to him.4In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. Selah5Offer right sacrifices and trust in the LORD.6Many are asking, “Who can show us any good?” Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.7You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound.8I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 51Psalm 5 For the director of music. For flutes. A psalm of David.1Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing.2Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.3In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.4You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.5The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong.6You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors.7But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple.8Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies– make straight your way before me.9Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.10Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.11But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.12For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.Psalm 61Psalm 6 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A psalm of David.1O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.2Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.3My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long?4Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.5No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave?6I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
