Psalm 91:1-8

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you

from the fowler’s snare

and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5 You will not fear the terror of night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

8 You will only observe with your eyes

and see the punishment of the wicked.

Psaim 148:1-14

1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise him in the heights  above.  2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts.  3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars.  4 Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies.  5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for at his command they were created,  6 and he established them for ever and ever— he issued a decree that will never pass away.  7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,  8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding,  9 you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,  10 wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds,  11 kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth,  12 young men and women, old men and children.  13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.  14 And he has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his faithful servants, of Israel, the people close to his heart. Praise the LORD.

Psalm 119:1-8

    who walk according to the law of the Lord.

2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes

    and seek him with all their heart—

3 they do no wrong

    but follow his ways.

4 You have laid down precepts

    that are to be fully obeyed.

5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast

    in obeying your decrees!

6 Then I would not be put to shame

    when I consider all your commands.

7 I will praise you with an upright heart

    as I learn your righteous laws.

8 I will obey your decrees;

    do not utterly forsake me.

Psalm 116:1-19

1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.  2 Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.  3The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.  4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “LORD, save me!”  5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.  6 The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.  7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.  8 For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,  9 that I may walk before the LORDin the land of the living.  10 I trusted in the LORD when I said, “I am greatly afflicted”;  11 in my alarm I said, “Everyone is a liar.”  12 What shall I return to the LORDfor all his goodness to me?  13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.  14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORDin the presence of all his people.  15Precious in the sight of the LORDis the death of his faithful servants.  16 Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.  17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.  18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORDin the presence of all his people,  19 in the courts of the house of the LORD— in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.

Psalm 139:7-12

7 Where can I go from your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;

if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me,

your right hand will hold me fast.

11 if I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me

and the light become night around me,”

12 eve the darkness will not be dark to you;

the night will shine like the day,

for darkness is as light to you.

Psalm 86:11-17

that I may rely on your faithfulness;

12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;

I will glorify your name forever.

13 For great is your love toward me;

you have delivered mefrom the depths,

from the realm of the dead.

14 Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God;

ruthless people are trying to kill me—

they have no regard for you.

15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,

slow to anger,aboundingin love and faithfulness.

16 Turn to meand have mercyon me;

show your strengthin behalf of your servant;

save me, because I serve you

just as my mother did.

17 Give me a signof your goodness,

that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,

for you,Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

Psalm 130:1-8

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD;  2 Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.  3 If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?  4 But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.  5 I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.  6 I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.  7 Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.  8 He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.

Psalm 37:1-4

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.

    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Take delight in the Lord,

    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 31:14-24

14 But I trust in you, LORD; I say, “You are my God.”  15 My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.  16 Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.  17 Let me not be put to shame, LORD, for I have cried out to you; but let the wicked be put to shame and be silent in the realm of the dead.  18 Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous.  19 How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you.  20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from all human intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues.  21 Praise be to the LORD, for he showed me the wonders of his love when I was in a city under siege.  22 In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from your sight!” Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help.  23 Love the LORD, all his faithful people! The LORD preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full.  24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
