His anger lasts only a moment, his goodness for a lifetime. Tears may flow in the night, but joy comes in the morning.

I called to you, Lord ; I begged for your help:

I come to you, Lord , for protection; never let me be defeated. You are a righteous God; save me, I pray!

Keep me safe from the trap that has been set for me; shelter me from danger.

Be merciful to me, Lord , for I am in trouble; my eyes are tired from so much crying; I am completely worn out.

How wonderful are the good things you keep for those who honor you! Everyone knows how good you are, how securely you protect those who trust you.

Praise the Lord ! How wonderfully he showed his love for me when I was surrounded and attacked!

You that are righteous, be glad and rejoice because of what the Lord has done. You that obey him, shout for joy!

All you that are righteous, shout for joy for what the Lord has done; praise him, all you that obey him.

Sing a new song to him, play the harp with skill, and shout for joy!

Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord ; happy are the people he has chosen for his own!

War horses are useless for victory; their great strength cannot save.

I will praise him for what he has done; may all who are oppressed listen and be glad!

Find out for yourself how good the Lord is. Happy are those who find safety with him.

Even lions go hungry for lack of food, but those who obey the Lord lack nothing good.

Turn away from evil and do good; strive for peace with all your heart.
