The Safety of the Faithful

To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue.

A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress

To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.

O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.

Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

In the Lord I put my trust; How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

Man’s Treachery and God’s Constancy

To the Chief Musician. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.

Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.

The Hope of the Faithful, and the Messiah’s Victory

A Michtam of David.

Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.

An Exuberant Declaration of Faith

A Psalm of David.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

Oh, love the Lord, all you His saints! For the Lord preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person.

Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

Faith Persevering in Trial

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry.

I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth From the great assembly.

Also with the lute I will praise You— And Your faithfulness, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel.

And may not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not set its heart aright, And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

For their heart was not steadfast with Him, Nor were they faithful in His covenant.

Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction?

Remembering the Covenant with David, and Sorrow for Lost Blessings

A Contemplation of Ethan the Ezrahite.

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.

For I have said, “Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.”

And the heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.

O Lord God of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.

“But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, And in My name his horn shall be exalted.

Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him, Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.

It shall be established forever like the moon, Even like the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah

Praise to the Lord for His Love and Faithfulness

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;

To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night,
