⁴ Shout for joy^(M) to the Lord, all the earth,
    burst into jubilant song with music;
⁵ make music to the Lord with the harp,^(N)
    with the harp and the sound of singing,^(O)
6 with trumpets^(P) and the blast of the ram’s horn^(Q)—
    shout for joy^(R) before the Lord, the King.^(S)

⁷ Let the sea^(T) resound, and everything in it,
    the world, and all who live in it.^(U)
8 Let the rivers clap their hands,^(V)
    let the mountains^(W) sing together for joy;
⁹ let them sing before the Lord,
    for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
    and the peoples with equity.^(X)

⁴ The King^(AI) is mighty, he loves justice^(AJ)—
    you have established equity;^(AK)
in Jacob you have done
    what is just and right.^(AL)
5 Exalt^(AM) the Lord our God
    and worship at his footstool;
    he is holy.

⁶ Moses^(AN) and Aaron^(AO) were among his priests,
    Samuel^(AP) was among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord
    and he answered^(AQ) them.
⁷ He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;^(AR)
    they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.

⁸ Lord our God,
    you answered them;
you were to Israel a forgiving God,^(AS)
    though you punished^(AT) their misdeeds.^[a]
9 Exalt the Lord our God
    and worship at his holy mountain,
    for the Lord our God is holy.

⁴ Enter his gates with thanksgiving^(BB)
    and his courts^(BC) with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.^(BD)
5 For the Lord is good^(BE) and his love endures forever;^(BF)
    his faithfulness^(BG) continues through all generations.

I will conduct the affairs^(BJ) of my house
    with a blameless heart.
³ I will not look with approval
    on anything that is vile.^(BK)

I hate what faithless people do;^(BL)
    I will have no part in it.
⁴ The perverse of heart^(BM) shall be far from me;
    I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

⁵ Whoever slanders their neighbor^(BN) in secret,
    I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes^(BO) and a proud heart,
    I will not tolerate.

⁶ My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
    that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless^(BP)
    will minister to me.

⁷ No one who practices deceit
    will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
    will stand in my presence.

⁸ Every morning^(BQ) I will put to silence
    all the wicked^(BR) in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer^(BS)
    from the city of the Lord.^(BT)

³ For my days vanish like smoke;^(BY)
    my bones^(BZ) burn like glowing embers.
⁴ My heart is blighted and withered like grass;^(CA)
    I forget to eat my food.^(CB)
5 In my distress I groan aloud^(CC)
    and am reduced to skin and bones.
⁶ I am like a desert owl,^(CD)
    like an owl among the ruins.
⁷ I lie awake;^(CE) I have become
    like a bird alone^(CF) on a roof.
⁸ All day long my enemies^(CG) taunt me;^(CH)
    those who rail against me use my name as a curse.^(CI)
9 For I eat ashes^(CJ) as my food
    and mingle my drink with tears^(CK)
10 because of your great wrath,^(CL)
    for you have taken me up and thrown me aside.
¹¹ My days are like the evening shadow;^(CM)
    I wither^(CN) away like grass.

¹² But you, Lord, sit enthroned forever;^(CO)
    your renown endures^(CP) through all generations.^(CQ)
13 You will arise^(CR) and have compassion^(CS) on Zion,
    for it is time^(CT) to show favor^(CU) to her;
    the appointed time^(CV) has come.
¹⁴ For her stones are dear to your servants;
    her very dust moves them to pity.
¹⁵ The nations will fear^(CW) the name of the Lord,
    all the kings^(CX) of the earth will revere your glory.
¹⁶ For the Lord will rebuild Zion^(CY)
    and appear in his glory.^(CZ)
17 He will respond to the prayer^(DA) of the destitute;
    he will not despise their plea.

¹⁸ Let this be written^(DB) for a future generation,
    that a people not yet created^(DC) may praise the Lord:
¹⁹ “The Lord looked down^(DD) from his sanctuary on high,
    from heaven he viewed the earth,
²⁰ to hear the groans of the prisoners^(DE)
    and release those condemned to death.”
²¹ So the name of the Lord will be declared^(DF) in Zion
    and his praise^(DG) in Jerusalem
²² when the peoples and the kingdoms
    assemble to worship^(DH) the Lord.

²³ In the course of my life^[d] he broke my strength;
    he cut short my days.^(DI)
24 So I said:
“Do not take me away, my God, in the midst of my days;
    your years go on^(DJ) through all generations.
²⁵ In the beginning^(DK) you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens^(DL) are the work of your hands.^(DM)
26 They will perish,^(DN) but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
    and they will be discarded.
²⁷ But you remain the same,^(DO)
    and your years will never end.^(DP)
28 The children of your servants^(DQ) will live in your presence;
    their descendants^(DR) will be established before you.”

⁶ The Lord works righteousness^(EE)
    and justice for all the oppressed.^(EF)

⁷ He made known^(EG) his ways^(EH) to Moses,
    his deeds^(EI) to the people of Israel:
⁸ The Lord is compassionate and gracious,^(EJ)
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
⁹ He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;^(EK)
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve^(EL)
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love^(EM) for those who fear him;^(EN)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions^(EO) from us.

¹³ As a father has compassion^(EP) on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
¹⁴ for he knows how we are formed,^(EQ)
    he remembers that we are dust.^(ER)
15 The life of mortals is like grass,^(ES)
    they flourish like a flower^(ET) of the field;
¹⁶ the wind blows^(EU) over it and it is gone,
    and its place^(EV) remembers it no more.
¹⁷ But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children^(EW)—
¹⁸ with those who keep his covenant^(EX)
    and remember^(EY) to obey his precepts.^(EZ)

¹⁹ The Lord has established his throne^(FA) in heaven,
    and his kingdom rules^(FB) over all.

²⁰ Praise the Lord,^(FC) you his angels,^(FD)
    you mighty ones^(FE) who do his bidding,^(FF)
    who obey his word.
²¹ Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,^(FG)
    you his servants^(FH) who do his will.
²² Praise the Lord, all his works^(FI)
    everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.^(FJ)
