-
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;
-
it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
-
Let him sit alone in silence, for the Lord has laid it on him.
-
For no one is cast off by the Lord forever.
-
to deprive them of justice— would not the Lord see such things?
-
Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it?
-
Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.
-
until the Lord looks down from heaven and sees.
-
I called on your name, Lord, from the depths of the pit.
-
You, Lord, took up my case; you redeemed my life.
-
Lord, you have seen the wrong done to me. Uphold my cause!
-
Lord, you have heard their insults, all their plots against me—
-
Pay them back what they deserve, Lord, for what their hands have done.
-
Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of the Lord.
-
The Lord has given full vent to his wrath; he has poured out his fierce anger. He kindled a fire in Zion that consumed her foundations.
-
The Lord himself has scattered them; he no longer watches over them. The priests are shown no honor, the elders no favor.
-
The Lord’s anointed, our very life breath, was caught in their traps. We thought that under his shadow we would live among the nations.
-
Remember, Lord, what has happened to us; look, and see our disgrace.
-
You, Lord, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation.
-
Restore us to yourself, Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old
