For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust and the source of my confidence from my youth.Upon You have I relied and been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother’s womb and You have been my benefactor from that day. My praise is continually of You. - Psalm 71:5-6

Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is sweet and good and comforting; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me.Do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress; answer me quickly. - Psalm 69:16-17

But let the righteous be glad; let them be in good spirits before God, Yes, let them rejoice with delight.Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Lift up a song for Him who rides through the desert— His name is the Lord —be in good spirits before Him.A father of the fatherless and a judge and protector of the widows, Is God in His holy habitation.God makes a home for the lonely; He leads the prisoners into prosperity, Only the stubborn and rebellious dwell in a parched land.O God, when You went out before Your people, When You marched through the wilderness, Selah.The earth trembled; The heavens also poured down rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.You, O God, sent abroad plentiful rain; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched and weary.Your flock found a dwelling place in it; O God, in Your goodness You provided for the poor. - Psalm 68:3-10

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;Sing of the honor and glory and magnificence of His name; Make His praise glorious.Say to God, “How awesome and fearfully glorious are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will pretend to be obedient to You.“All the earth will [bow down to] worship You [in submissive wonder], And will sing praises to You; They will praise Your name in song.” Selah.Come and see the works of God, He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of men.He turned the sea into dry land; They crossed through the river on foot; There we rejoiced in Him.Who rules by His might forever, His eyes keep watch on the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.Bless our God, O peoples, And make the sound of His praise be heard abroad, - Psalm 66 :1 - 8

O God, You are my God; with deepest longing I will seek You; My soul [my life, my very self] thirsts for You, my flesh longs and sighs for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water.So I have gazed upon You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.So will I bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.My soul [my life, my very self] is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises [to You] with joyful lips.When I remember You on my bed, I meditate and thoughtfully focus on You in the night watches,For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings [where I am always protected] I sing for joy.My soul [my life, my very self] clings to You; Your right hand upholds me. - Psalm 63:1-8

Hear my cry, O God; Listen to my prayer.From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help].For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me, A strong tower against the enemy.Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name [with reverence]. - Psalm 61:1-5

Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right and steadfast spirit within me.Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. - Psalm 51:10-11

“Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.” - Psalm 46:10

God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], A very present and well-proved help in trouble.Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change And though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas,Though its waters roar and foam, Though the mountains tremble at its roaring. Selah.There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling places of the Most High.God is in the midst of her [His city], she will not be moved; God will help her when the morning dawns.The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah. - Psalm 46:1-5,7

For I will not trust in my bow, Nor will my sword save me.But You have saved us from our enemies, And You have put them to shame and humiliated those who hate us.In God we have boasted all the day long, And we will praise and give thanks to Your name forever. Selah. - Psalm 44:6-8
