Psalm 25:1-7

1 In you, Lord my God,

    I put my trust.

2 I trust in you;

    do not let me be put to shame,

    nor let my enemies triumph over me.

3 No one who hopes in you

    will ever be put to shame,

but shame will come on those

    who are treacherous without cause.

4 Show me your ways, Lord,

    teach me your paths.

5 Guide me in your truth and teach me,

    for you are God my Savior,

    and my hope is in you all day long.

6 Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,

    for they are from of old.

7 Do not remember the sins of my youth

    and my rebellious ways;

according to your love remember me,

    for you, Lord, are good.

Psalm 61:1-8

1 Hear my cry, O God;

    listen to my prayer.

2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,

    I call as my heart grows faint;

    lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For you have been my refuge,

    a strong tower against the foe.

4 I long to dwell in your tent forever

    and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

5 For you, God, have heard my vows;

    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 Increase the days of the king’s life,

    his years for many generations.

7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;

    appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.

8 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name

    and fulfill my vows day after day.

Psalm 26:1-12

1 Vindicate me, Lord,

    for I have led a blameless life;

I have trusted in the Lord

    and have not faltered.

2 Test me, Lord, and try me,

    examine my heart and my mind;

3 for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love

    and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.

4 I do not sit with the deceitful,

    nor do I associate with hypocrites.

5 I abhor the assembly of evildoers

    and refuse to sit with the wicked.

6 I wash my hands in innocence,

    and go about your altar, Lord,

7 proclaiming aloud your praise

    and telling of all your wonderful deeds.

8 Lord, I love the house where you live,

    the place where your glory dwells.

9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners,

    my life with those who are bloodthirsty,

10 in whose hands are wicked schemes,

    whose right hands are full of bribes.

11 I lead a blameless life;

    deliver me and be merciful to me.

12 My feet stand on level ground;

    in the great congregation I will praise the Lord.

2 Let my vindication come from you;

    may your eyes see what is right.

3 Though you probe my heart,

    though you examine me at night and test me,

you will find that I have planned no evil;

    my mouth has not transgressed.

4 Though people tried to bribe me,

    I have kept myself from the ways of the violent

    through what your lips have commanded.

5 My steps have held to your paths;

    my feet have not stumbled.

make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.

3 Sing to him a new song;

he is faithful in all he does.

the earth is full of his unfailing love.

Psalm 37:1-7

1 Do not fret because of those who are evil

    or be envious of those who do wrong;

2 for like the grass they will soon wither,

    like green plants they will soon die away.

3 Trust in the Lord and do good;

    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Take delight in the Lord,

    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord;

    trust in him and he will do this:

6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,

    your vindication like the noonday sun.

7 Be still before the Lord

    and wait patiently for him;

do not fret when people succeed in their ways,

    when they carry out their wicked schemes.

PSALM 33:6-9

6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars he puts the deep into storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;

let all the people of the world revere him.

9 For he spoke, and it came to be;

he commanded,and it stood firm.
