Who has the right to go up the Lord 's hill? Who may enter his holy Temple?

He leads the humble in the right way and teaches them his will.

With faithfulness and love he leads all who keep his covenant and obey his commands.

The Lord is the friend of those who obey him and he affirms his covenant with them.

I am safe from all dangers; in the assembly of his people I praise the Lord .

I have asked the Lord for one thing; one thing only do I want: to live in the Lord 's house all my life, to marvel there at his goodness, and to ask for his guidance.

In times of trouble he will shelter me; he will keep me safe in his Temple and make me secure on a high rock.

So I will triumph over my enemies around me. With shouts of joy I will offer sacrifices in his Temple; I will sing, I will praise the Lord .

The Lord protects his people; he defends and saves his chosen king.

Praise the Lord , you heavenly beings; praise his glory and power.

The voice of the Lord is heard on the seas; the glorious God thunders, and his voice echoes over the ocean.

His voice makes the desert shake; he shakes the desert of Kadesh.

The Lord 's voice shakes the oaks and strips the leaves from the trees while everyone in his Temple shouts, "Glory to God!"

The Lord gives strength to his people and blesses them with peace.

Sing praise to the Lord , all his faithful people! Remember what the Holy One has done, and give him thanks!

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

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

I was afraid and thought that he had driven me out of his presence. But he heard my cry, when I called to him for help.

Love the Lord , all his faithful people. The Lord protects the faithful, but punishes the proud as they deserve.

The wicked will have to suffer, but those who trust in the Lord are protected by his constant love.
