-
Love the Lord, all his faithful people! The Lord preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full.

Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.
-
When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
-
Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.
-
Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!
-
For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
-
Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him.
-
But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind;
-
from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—
-
he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.

Psalm 34
Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left.
I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
-
I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
-
This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.
-
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.
-
The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;
-
he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.

May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame and confusion; may all who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace.
-
My tongue will proclaim your righteousness, your praises all day long.
-
But all sinners will be destroyed; there will be no future for the wicked.
-
I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.
-
All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
-
Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie.
