But as for me, I will live a life without blame. Make me free, and show me loving-kindness.

For my father and my mother have left me. But the Lord will take care of me.

For His anger lasts only a short time. But His favor is for life. Crying may last for a night, but joy comes with the new day.

O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong. But when You hid Your face, I was troubled.

I hate those who worship false gods. But I trust in the Lord.

But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord. I say, "You are my God."

In my fear I said, "You have closed Your eyes to me!" But You heard my cry for loving-kindness when I called to You.

Love the Lord, all you who belong to Him! The Lord keeps the faithful safe. But He gives the proud their pay in full.

Many are the sorrows of the sinful. But loving-kindness will be all around the man who trusts in the Lord.

The young lions suffer want and hunger. But they who look for the Lord will not be without any good thing.

A man who does what is right and good may have many troubles. But the Lord takes him out of them all.

But when they were sick, I put on clothes made from hair. With no pride in my soul, I would not eat. And I prayed with my head on my chest.

But when I would fall, they would gather together in joy. Those who say things to hurt people would gather against me. I did not know them. They spoke against me without stopping.

They do not speak peace. But they make up lies against those who are quiet in the land.

For those who do wrong will be cut off. But those who wait for the Lord will be given the earth.

But those who have no pride will be given the earth. And they will be happy and have much more than they need.

For the arms of the sinful will be broken. But the Lord holds up those who are right with Him.

But the sinful will be lost forever. Those who hate the Lord will be like the beauty of the fields. They will be gone. Like smoke they will be gone.

The sinful ask for something, but do not return it. But those who are right with God are kind and give.

For those who are made happy by Him will be given the land. But those who are being punished by Him will be cut off.
