Such purity characterizes the people who seek his favor, Jacob's descendants, who pray to him. (Selah)

May he show the humble what is right! May he teach the humble his way!

The Lord always proves faithful and reliable to those who follow the demands of his covenant.

The Lord shows his faithful followers the way they should live.

They experience his favor; their descendants inherit the land.

The Lord 's loyal followers receive his guidance, and he reveals his covenantal demands to them.

I have asked the Lord for one thing— this is what I desire! I want to live in the Lord 's house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord and contemplate in his temple.

He will surely give me shelter in the day of danger; he will hide me in his home; he will place me on an inaccessible rocky summit.

Now I will triumph over my enemies who surround me! I will offer sacrifices in his dwelling place and shout for joy! I will sing praises to the Lord !

The Lord strengthens his people; he protects and delivers his chosen king.

The Lord 's shout bends the large trees and strips the leaves from the forests. Everyone in his temple says, "Majestic!"

The Lord gives his people strength; the Lord grants his people security.

Sing to the Lord , you faithful followers of his; give thanks to his holy name.

For his anger lasts only a brief moment, and his good favor restores one's life. One may experience sorrow during the night, but joy arrives in the morning.

The Lord deserves praise for he demonstrated his amazing faithfulness to me when I was besieged by enemies.

Love the Lord , all you faithful followers of his! The Lord protects those who have integrity, but he pays back in full the one who acts arrogantly.

By the Lord 's decree the heavens were made; by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created.

The Lord 's decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages.

How blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord , the people whom he has chosen to be his special possession.

No king is delivered by his vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great might.
