Book One
The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
-
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
-
Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people! Selah
-
For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield.
-
I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.
-
The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation—
-
For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
-
For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
-
He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
-
I Will Bless the Lord
Of David.
Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
-
My foot stands on level ground; in the great assembly I will bless the Lord.
-
Blessed be the Lord! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
-
Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
-
May the Lord give strength to his people! May the Lord bless his people with peace!
-
Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was in a besieged city.
-
Blessed Are the Forgiven
A Maskil of David.
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
-
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
-
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
-
Taste and See That the Lord Is Good
Of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away.
I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
-
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
-
for those blessed by the Lord shall inherit the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off.
-
He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing.
-
Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!
-
O Lord, Be Gracious to Me
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;
-
the Lord protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies.
