Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone.

Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.

How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.

Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts.

For the Lord loves justice, and he will never abandon the godly. He will keep them safe forever, but the children of the wicked will die.

Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.

My loved ones and friends stay away, fearing my disease. Even my own family stands at a distance.

I have not kept the good news of your justice hidden in my heart; I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power. I have told everyone in the great assembly of your unfailing love and faithfulness.

Lord, don’t hold back your tender mercies from me. Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me.

But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “The Lord is great!”

But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life.

They did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory. It was your right hand and strong arm and the blinding light from your face that helped them, for you loved them.

Rise up! Help us! Ransom us because of your unfailing love.

Psalm 45

For the choir director: A love song to be sung to the tune “Lilies.” A psalm of the descendants of Korah.

Beautiful words stir my heart. I will recite a lovely poem about the king, for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.

You love justice and hate evil. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.

He chose the Promised Land as our inheritance, the proud possession of Jacob’s descendants, whom he loves. Interlude

O God, we meditate on your unfailing love as we worship in your Temple.

Psalm 51

For the choir director: A psalm of David, regarding the time Nathan the prophet came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.

Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins.

You love evil more than good and lies more than truth. Interlude

You love to destroy others with your words, you liar!

But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.

He will send help from heaven to rescue me, disgracing those who hound me. Interlude My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness.

For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me. He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.

But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.
