Many are saying, “Who can show us anything good?” Look on us with favor, Lord.

Psalm 14

A Portrait of Sinners

For the choir director. Davidic.

The fool says in his heart, “God does not exist.” They are corrupt; they do vile deeds. There is no one who does good.

All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.

I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; I have nothing good besides You.”

Psalm 23

The Good Shepherd

A Davidic psalm.

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack.

Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live.

Do not remember the sins of my youth or my acts of rebellion; in keeping with Your faithful love, remember me because of Your goodness, Lord.

The Lord is good and upright; therefore He shows sinners the way.

He will live a good life, and his descendants will inherit the land.

I am certain that I will see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living.

How great is Your goodness that You have stored up for those who fear You and accomplished in the sight of everyone for those who take refuge in You.

Taste and see that the Lord is good. How happy is the man who takes refuge in Him!

Young lions lack food and go hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

Who is the man who delights in life, loving a long life to enjoy what is good?

Turn away from evil and do what is good; seek peace and pursue it.

They repay me evil for good, making me desolate.

The words of his mouth are malicious and deceptive; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.

Even on his bed he makes malicious plans. He sets himself on a path that is not good and does not reject evil.

Trust in the Lord and do what is good; dwell in the land and live securely.

Turn away from evil and do what is good, and dwell there forever.

Those who repay evil for good attack me for pursuing good.

I was speechless and quiet; I kept silent, even from speaking good, and my pain intensified.

In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build the walls of Jerusalem.

You love evil instead of good, lying instead of speaking truthfully.Selah

I will praise You forever for what You have done. In the presence of Your faithful people, I will put my hope in Your name, for it is good.
