Psa 25:3 Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed; Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed. Psa 25:4 Make me know Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Psa 25:5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You I wait all the day. Psa 25:6 Remember, O Lord, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses, For they have been from of old. Psa 25:7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; According to Your lovingkindness remember me, For Your goodness' sake, O Lord. Psa 25:8 Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He instructs sinners in the way. Psa 25:9 He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way. Psa 25:10 All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and truth To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies. Psa 25:11 For Your name's sake, O Lord, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. Psa 25:12 Who is the man who fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. Psa 25:13 His soul will abide in prosperity, And his descendants will inherit the land. Psa 25:14 The secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His covenant. Psa 25:15 My eyes are continually toward the Lord, For He will pluck my feet out of the net. Psa 25:16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, For I am lonely and afflicted. Psa 25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses. Psa 25:18 Look upon my affliction and my trouble, And forgive all my sins. Psa 25:19 Look upon my enemies, for they are many, And they hate me with violent hatred. Psa 25:20 Guard my soul and deliver me; Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You. Psa 25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. Psa 25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all his troubles. -------- Psa 29:1 Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Psa 29:2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in holy array. Psa 29:3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; The God of glory thunders, The Lord is over many waters. Psa 29:4 The voice of the Lord is powerful, The voice of the Lord is majestic. Psa 29:5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; Yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. Psa 29:6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, And Sirion like a young wild ox. Psa 29:7 The voice of the Lord hews out flames of fire. Psa 29:8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; The Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. Psa 29:9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer to calve And strips the forests bare; And in His temple everything says, "Glory!" Psa 29:10 The Lord sat as King at the flood; Yes, the Lord sits as King forever. Psa 29:11 The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace. -------- Psa 33:1 Sing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright. Psa 33:2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings. Psa 33:3 Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. Psa 33:4 For the word of the Lord is upright, And all His work is done in faithfulness. Psa 33:5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord. Psa 33:6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host. Psa 33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses. Psa 33:8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. Psa 33:9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. Psa 33:10 The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. Psa 33:11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. Psa 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance. Psa 33:13 The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men; Psa 33:14 From His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth, Psa 33:15 He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works. Psa 33:16 The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength. Psa 33:17 A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. Psa 33:18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness, Psa 33:19 To deliver their soul from death And to keep them alive in famine. Psa 33:20 Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. Psa 33:21 For our heart rejoices in Him, Because we trust in His holy name. Psa 33:22 Let Your lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us, According as we have hoped in You. -------- Psa 36:1 Transgression speaks to the ungodly within his heart; There is no fear of God before his eyes. Psa 36:2 For it flatters him in his own eyes Concerning the discovery of his iniquity and the hatred of it. Psa 36:3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good. Psa 36:4 He plans wickedness upon his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not despise evil. Psa 36:5 Your lovingkindness, O Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Psa 36:6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like a great deep. O Lord, You preserve man and beast. Psa 36:7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. Psa 36:8 They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. Psa 36:9 For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. Psa 36:10 O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright in heart. Psa 36:11 Let not the foot of pride come upon me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. Psa 36:12 There the doers of iniquity have fallen; They have been thrust down and cannot rise. -------- Psa 39:1 I said, "I will guard my ways That I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle While the wicked are in my presence." Psa 39:2 I was mute and silent, I refrained even from good, And my sorrow grew worse. Psa 39:3 My heart was hot within me, While I was musing the fire burned; Then I spoke with my tongue: Psa 39:4 "Lord, make me to know my end And what is the extent of my days; Let me know how transient I am. Psa 39:5 "Behold, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my lifetime as nothing in Your sight; Surely every man at his best is a mere breath. Selah. Psa 39:6 "Surely every man walks about as a phantom; Surely they make an uproar for nothing; He amasses riches and does not know who will gather them. Psa 39:7 "And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You. Psa 39:8 "Deliver me from all my transgressions; Make me not the reproach of the foolish. Psa 39:9 "I have become mute, I do not open my mouth, Because it is You who have done it. Psa 39:10 "Remove Your plague from me; Because of the opposition of Your hand I am perishing. Psa 39:11 "With reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity; You consume as a moth what is precious to him; Surely every man is a mere breath. Selah. Psa 39:12 "Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am a stranger with You, A sojourner like all my fathers. Psa 39:13 "Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may smile again Before I depart and am no more."
