-
My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O Lord—how long?

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”?
-
The Lord tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
-
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
-
O my soul, you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
-
For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
-
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
-
He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
-
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.
-
A Plea for Deliverance and Forgiveness
A Psalm of David.
To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
-
Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.
-
Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
-
O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
-
I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities,
-
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; My eye wastes away with grief, Yes, my soul and my body!
-
To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
-
Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
-
My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
-
The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
-
Also draw out the spear, And stop those who pursue me. Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”
-
And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord; It shall rejoice in His salvation.
-
They reward me evil for good, To the sorrow of my soul.
-
I said, “Lord, be merciful to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”

Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses

As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.
