God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.

As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever. Selah

Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.

Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.

No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.

But God will redeem my life from Sheol, for He will surely take me to Himself. Selah

A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising to the setting of the sun.

From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.

Our God comes and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.

And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge. Selah

"Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.

Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.

To the wicked, however, God says, "What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?

Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:

He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rights his way, I will show the salvation of God."

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving devotion; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
