The Safety of the Faithful

To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

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

Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.

The Lord shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.

I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.

He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

In the Lord I put my trust; How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.

He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart;

As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.

The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.

Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, That He has done this.

He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.

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

The Lord a Fortress in Adversity

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness.

He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

Vindicate me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me.

And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness And of Your praise all the day long.

Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep; O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday.

I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great assembly; Indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O Lord, You Yourself know.

I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth From the great assembly.
