Psalm 5:5

New American Standard Bible

⁵The ^(A)boastful will not ^(B)stand before Your eyes;
You ^(C)hate all who do injustice.

Psalm 16

New American Standard Bible

The Lord, the Psalmist’s Portion in Life and Salvation in Death.

A ^[a]Mikhtam of David.

16 ^(A)Protect me, God, for ^(B)I take refuge in You.
²^[b]I said to the Lord, “You are ^[c]my Lord;
I ^(C)have nothing good besides You.”
³As for the ^[d]^(D)saints who are on the earth,
^[e]They are the majestic ones; ^(E)all my delight is in them.
⁴^[f]The ^(F)pains of those who have acquired another god will be multiplied;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of ^(G)blood,
Nor will I ^(H)take their names upon my lips.

⁵The Lord is the ^(I)portion of my inheritance and my ^(J)cup;
You support my ^(K)lot.
⁶The measuring ^(L)lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my inheritance is ^(M)beautiful to me.

⁷I will bless the Lord who has ^(N)advised me;
Indeed, my ^[g]^(O)mind instructs me in the night.
⁸^(P)I have ^(Q)set the Lord continually before me;
Because He is ^(R)at my right hand, ^(S)I will not be shaken.
⁹Therefore ^(T)my heart is glad and ^(U)my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will ^(V)dwell securely.
¹⁰For You ^(W)will not abandon my soul to ^[h]Sheol;
You will not ^[i]^(X)allow Your ^[j]Holy One to ^[k]undergo decay.
¹¹You will make known to me ^(Y)the way of life;
In ^(Z)Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are ^(AA)pleasures forever.

Psalm 115

New American Standard Bible

Heathen Idols Contrasted with the Lord.

115 ^(A)Not to us, Lord, not to us,
But ^(B)to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy, because of Your ^[a]truth.
²^(C)Why should the nations say,
“^(D)Where, then, is their God?”
³But our ^(E)God is in the heavens;
He ^(F)does whatever He pleases.
⁴Their ^(G)idols are silver and gold,
The ^(H)work of human hands.
⁵They have mouths, but they ^(I)cannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;
⁶They have ears, but they cannot hear;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
⁷^[b]They have hands, but they cannot feel;
^[c]They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
⁸^(J)Those who make them ^[d]will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.

⁹^(K)Israel, ^(L)trust in the Lord;
He is their ^(M)help and their shield.
¹⁰House of ^(N)Aaron, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
¹¹You who ^[e]^(O)fear the Lord, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
¹²The Lord ^(P)has been mindful of us; He will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
¹³He will ^(Q)bless those who ^[f]fear the Lord,
^(R)The small together with the great.
¹⁴May the Lord ^(S)increase you,
You and your children.
¹⁵May you be blessed of the Lord,
^(T)Maker of heaven and earth.

¹⁶The heavens are ^(U)the heavens of the Lord,
But ^(V)the earth He has given to the sons of mankind.
¹⁷The ^(W)dead do not praise ^[g]the Lord,
Nor do any who go down into ^(X)silence;
¹⁸But as for us, we will ^(Y)bless ^[h]the Lord
From this time and forever.
^[i]Praise ^[j]the Lord!
