ISV(i)
1 Davidic
Confidence in the LORD The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom will I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom will I be afraid?
2 When those who practice evil, my enemies, and my oppressors come near me to devour my flesh, they stumble and fall.
3 If an army encamps against me, my heart will not fear. If a war is launched against me, I will even trust in that situation.
4 I have asked one thing from the LORD; it is what I really seek: that I may remain in the LORD’s Temple all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD; and to inquire in his Temple.
5 For he will conceal me in his shelter on the day of evil; He will hide me in a secluded chamber within his tent; He will place me on a high rock.
6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies, even those who surround me. I will sacrifice in his tent with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melodies to the LORD.
7 Hear my voice, LORD, when I cry out! Be gracious to me and answer me.
8 My mind recalls your word, “Seek my face,” so your face, LORD, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me; do not turn away in anger from your servant. You have been my help, therefore do not abandon or forsake me, God of my salvation.
10 Though my father and my mother abandoned me, the LORD gathers me up.
11 Teach me your way, LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
12 Do not hand me over to the desires of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me; even the one who breathes out violence.
13 I believe that I will see the LORD’s goodness in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD. Be courageous, and he will strengthen your heart. Wait on the LORD!
28 1Davidic
A Prayer for Help To you, LORD, I cry out! My Rock, do not refuse to answer me. If you remain silent, I will become like those who descend into the Pit.
2 Hear the sound of my supplications when I cry to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who practice iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while harboring evil in their hearts.
4 Reward them according to their deeds; according to the evil of their actions. Reward them based on what they do; give them what they deserve.
5 Because they do not understand the deeds of the LORD or the work of his hands, He will tear them down and never build them up.
6 Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the sound of my supplications.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I received help. My heart rejoices, and I give thanks to him with my song.
8 The LORD is the strength of his people; he is a refuge of deliverance for his anointed.
9 Deliver your people and bless your inheritance! Shepherd them and lift them up forever!
29 1A Davidic Psalm.
Praise to the Majestic LORD Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly beings; ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD wearing holy attire.
3 The voice of the LORD was heard above the waters; the God of glory thundered; the LORD was heard over many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.
5 The voice of the LORD snaps the cedars; the LORD snaps the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes them stagger like a calf, even Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD shoots out flashes of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD causes deer to give birth, and strips the forest bare. In his Temple all of them shout, “Glory!”
10 The LORD sat enthroned over the flood, and the LORD sits as king forever.
11 The LORD will give strength to his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
30 1A Davidic Psalm for the dedication of the Temple.
Thanksgiving for Deliverance I exalt you, LORD, for you have lifted me up, and my enemies could not gloat over me.
2 LORD, my God! I cried out to you for help and you healed me.
3 LORD, you brought me from death; you kept me alive so that I did not descend into the Pit.
4 You, his godly ones, sing to the LORD, give thanks at the mention of his holiness.
5 For his wrath is only momentary; yet his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may lodge for the night, but shouts of joy will come in the morning.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I will never be moved.”
7 By your favor, LORD, you established me as a strong mountain;
