Evening prayer of trust in God.

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.

Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.

Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.

I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.

And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth righteousness: The upright shall behold his face.

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;

As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with beholding thy form.

Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

They shall come and shall declare his righteousness Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it.

He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

A psalm of complaint and of praise.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge; Let me never be put to shame: Deliver me in thy righteousness.

He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.

Judge me, O Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me.

And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness And of thy praise all the day long.

Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; Thy judgments are a great deep: O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.

Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, And thy justice as the noon-day.

I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Jehovah, thou knowest.

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly.

And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
