The Faithful Have Vanished

To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

Save, O Lord, for the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.

All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness.

“What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?

Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.

Love the Lord, all you his saints! The Lord preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.

For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.

Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.

Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.

I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.

As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me!

“Gather to me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!”

and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Their heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not faithful to his covenant.

They have given the bodies of your servants to the birds of the heavens for food, the flesh of your faithful to the beasts of the earth.

Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other.

Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.

But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

Is your steadfast love declared in the grave, or your faithfulness in Abaddon?

I Will Sing of the Steadfast Love of the Lord

A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.

Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!

My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

but I will not remove from him my steadfast love or be false to my faithfulness.

Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah

I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me.

Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise.
