For the Word of the Lord is right. He is faithful in all He does.

For He spoke, and it was done. He spoke with strong words, and it stood strong.

Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord. Happy are the people He has chosen for His own.

Our soul waits for the Lord. He is our help and our safe cover.

For our heart is full of joy in Him, because we trust in His holy name.

I looked for the Lord, and He answered me. And He took away all my fears.

O fear the Lord, all you who belong to Him. For those who fear Him never want for anything.

Who is the man who has a desire for life, and wants to live long so that he may see good things?

Turn away from what is sinful. Do what is good. Look for peace and follow it.

The Lord saves the soul of those who work for Him. None of those who trust in Him will be held guilty.

Do not let those who hate me for no reason stand over me with joy. Do not let those who hate me for no reason wink their eye.

Awake Yourself. Come and help me. Fight for me, my God and my Lord.

Let them call out for joy and be glad, who want to see the right thing done for me. Let them always say, "May the Lord be honored. He is pleased when all is going well for His servant."

For he makes much of himself in his own eyes. So his sin is not known and hated.
