Psalm 16
A miktam of David.
Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
-
Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.
-
I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
-
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
-
In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.
-
For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I am not guilty of turning from my God.
-
You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.
-
With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.
-
As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.
-
For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?
-
It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.
-
The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior!
-
He is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me,

Psalm 22
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Doe of the Morning.” A psalm of David.

My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.

From birth I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God.

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.

They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior.
-
Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob.
