(A psalm by David.) The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right side, until I make your enemies into a footstool for you."

The Lord God is famous for his wonderful deeds, and he is kind and merciful.

They will get rich and prosper and will always be remembered for their fairness.

They will be so kind and merciful and good, that they will be a light in the dark for others who do the right thing.

Life will go well for those who freely lend and are honest in business.

The Lord has kept the heavens for himself, but he has given the earth to us humans.

What must I give you, Lord , for being so good to me?

His love for us is wonderful; his faithfulness never ends. Shout praises to the Lord !

It is better to trust the Lord for protection than to trust anyone else,

I praise the Lord for answering my prayers and saving me.

Don't let them sneer and insult me for following you.

I am your servant! Do for me what you promised to those who worship you.

I long for your teachings. Be true to yourself and let me live.

Then I will have an answer for everyone who insults me for trusting your word.

Once you corrected me for not obeying you, but now I obey.

I long for you to rescue me! Your word is my only hope.

I am worn out from waiting for you to keep your word. When will you have mercy?

Those proud people reject your teachings, and they dig pits for me to fall in.

Show your love for me, your servant, and teach me your laws.

Even before sunrise, I pray for your help, and I put my hope in what you have said.
