-
I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.

Psalm 14
For the director of music. Of David.
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
-
All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
-
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
-
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
-
Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord, are good.
-
Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
-
I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
-
How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you.
-
Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
-
The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
-
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
-
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
-
They repay me evil for good and leave me like one bereaved.
-
The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good.
-
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
-
Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.
-
Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me, though I seek only to do what is good.
-
So I remained utterly silent, not even saying anything good. But my anguish increased;
-
You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth.
-
For what you have done I will always praise you in the presence of your faithful people. And I will hope in your name, for your name is good.
-
Psalm 53
For the director of music. According to mahalath. A maskil of David.
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.
-
Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
-
I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, Lord, for it is good.
-
Do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
