Psalms Chapter 26

¹Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering. ²Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind. ³For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth. ⁴I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites. ⁵I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked. ⁶I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD, ⁷that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds. ⁸LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells. ⁹Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men ¹⁰in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes. ¹¹But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me. ¹²My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.

Psalms Chapter 27

¹The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? ²When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. ³Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident. ⁴One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, to see the LORD’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple. ⁵For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock. ⁶Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD. ⁷Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me. ⁸When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, LORD.” ⁹Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation. ¹⁰When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. ¹¹Teach me your way, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies. ¹²Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty. ¹³I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. ¹⁴Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.

Psalms Chapter 28

¹To you, LORD, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit. ²Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place. ³Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts. ⁴Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve. ⁵Because they don’t respect the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up. ⁶Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my petitions. ⁷The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him. ⁸The LORD is their strength.

You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. ⁴Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name. ⁵For his anger is but for a moment.

I made supplication to the Lord: ⁹“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth? ¹⁰Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper.” ¹¹You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness, ¹²to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

You redeem me, LORD, God of truth. ⁶I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in the LORD. ⁷I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction.

I said, “You are my God.” ¹⁵My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me. ¹⁶Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness. ¹⁷Let me not be disappointed, LORD, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol. ¹⁸Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt. ¹⁹Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men! ²⁰In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man.

Psalms Chapter 32

¹Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered. ²Blessed is the man to whom the LORD doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit. ³When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. ⁴For day and night your hand was heavy on me.
