1 May the Lord hear you in the | day of | trouble:

the God of Jacob | lift you | up to | safety.
2 May he send you his | help — from the | sanctuary:
and be your | strong sup|port from | Zion.
3 May he remember | all your | offerings:
and accept with | favour | your burnt | sacrifices,
4 Grant you your | heart's de|sire:
and | ful—fil | all your | purposes.
5 May we also rejoice in your victory
and triumph in the | name — of our | God:
the Lord per|form | all — your pe|titions.
6 Now I know that the Lord will | save — his a|nointed:
that he will answer him from his holy heaven
with the vic|to—rious | strength — of his | right hand.
7 Some put their trust in chariots and | some in | horses:
but we will trust in the | name — of our | Lord and | God:
8 They are brought | down and | fallen:
but we are | strong and | stand | upright.
†9 O Lord | save the | king:
and hear us | when we | call u|pon you.

1 God has stood up in the | council of | heaven:

in the midst of the | gods | he gives | judgement.
2 How long will you | judge un|justly:
and | favour the | cause — of the | wicked.
3 Judge for the | poor — and the | fatherless:
vindicate the af|flic—ted | and op|pressed.
4 Rescue the | poor and | needy:
and save them from the | hands | of the | wicked.
5 They do not know, they do not understand, they | walk a—bout in darkness:
all the foundations of the | earth | are | shaken.
6 Therefore I say "Though | you are | gods:
and all of you | chil—dren | of the — Most | High,
7 Nevertheless you shall | die — like a | mortal:
and | fall like | one of — the | princes."
8 Arise O God and | judge the | earth:
for you shall take all | na—tions | as — your pos|session.

1 The Lord is king, and has put on | robes of | glory:

the Lord has put on his glory,
he has | gir—ded him|self with | strength.
2 He has made the | world so | firm:
that | it can|not be | moved.
3 Your throne is e|stab—lished from | old:
you | are from | e—ver|lasting.
4 The floods have lifted up O Lord the floods have | lifted — up their | voice:
the | floods lift | up their | pounding.
5 But mightier than the sound of many waters
than the mighty waters of the | breakers — of the | sea:
the | Lord on | high is | mighty.
6 Your decrees are | ve—ry | sure:
and holiness, O Lord, a|dorns your | house for | ever.

1 O shout to the Lord in triumph | all the | earth:

serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his | face with | songs of | joy.
2 Know that the | Lord is | God:
it is he who has made us and we are his;
we are his people | and the | sheep — of his | pasture.
3 Come into his gates with thanksgiving and into his | courts with | praise:
give thanks to him and | bless his | ho—ly | name.
4 For the Lord is good his loving | mercy — is for | ever:
his faithfulness through|out | all — gener|ations.

1 I lift up my eyes | to the | hills:

but | where shall | I find | help?
2 My help | comes — from the | Lord:
who | has made | heaven and | earth.
3 He will not suffer your | foot to | stumble:
and he who watches | over — you | will not | sleep.
4 Be sure he who has | charge of | Israel:
will | neither | slumber nor | sleep.
5 The Lord himself | is your | keeper:
the Lord is your de|fence u|pon your | right hand;
6 The sun shall not | strike you — by | day:
nor | shall the | moon by | night.
7 The lord will defend you | from all | evil:
it is he | who will | guard your | life.
8 The Lord will defend your going out and your | coming | in:
from this time | forward — for | e—ver|more.

1 To you I | lift — up my | eyes:

you who | are en|throned — in the | heavens.
2 As the eyes of the servents look to the | hand — of their | master:
or as the eyes of a maid toward the | hand | of her | mistress,
3 So our eyes look to the | Lord our | God:
until he | show | us his | mercy.
4 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have | mer—cy u|pon us:
for we have | had our | fill — of de|rision.
†5 Our souls overflow with the mockery of | those at | ease:
and with the con|tempt | of the | proud.

1 By the waters of Babylon we | sat — down and | wept:

when | we re|mem—bered | Zion.
2 As for our harps we | hung them | up:
upon the | trees — that are | in the | land.
3 For there those who led us away captive re|quired of |us a | song:
and those who had despoiled us demanded mirth
saying | 'Sing us — one of the | songs of | Zion'.
4 How | can we | sing
the Lord's song | in a | strange | land.
5 If I forget you | O Je|rusalem:
let my right hand for|get | its | mastery.
6 Let my tongue cling to the | roof — of my | mouth:
if I do not remember you
if I do not prefer Je|rusa—lem a|bove — my chief | joy.
7 Remember O Lord against the Edomites the | day — of Je|rusalem:
how they said 'Down with it * down with it |
raze it | to its — foun|dations.
8 O daughter of Babylon you that | lay | waste:
happy shall he be who | serves you | as — you have | served us;
†9 Happy shall he be who | takes your | little ones:
and | dashes — them a|gainst — the | stones.

1 I will give you thanks O lord with my | whole | heart:

even before the | gods — will I | sing your | praises.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and give | thanks — to your | name:
because of your faithfulness and your loving kindness * for you have_
made your name and your | word su|preme over | all things.
3 At a time when I called to you you | gave me | answer:
and put new | strength with|in my | soul.
4 All the kings of the earth shall | praise — you O | Lord:
for they have heard the | words | of your | mouth.
5 And they shall sing of the | ways — of the | Lord:
that the glory of the | Lord | is | great.
6 For though the Lord is exalted he | looks u—pon the | lowly:
and he comprehends the | proud | from a|far.
7 Though I walk in the midst of danger yet will you pre|serve my | life:
you will stretch out your hand against the fury of my_
enemies and your | right | hand shall | save me.
8 The Lord will complete his | pur—pose | for me:
your loving kindness O Lord endures for ever
do not forsake the | work | of — your own | hands.

1 Praise the lord, praise the | Lord — O my | soul:

while I | live — I will | praise the | Lord;
2 While I | have — any | being:
I will sing | praises | to my | God.
3 Put not your | trust in | princes:
nor in flesh and | blood which | can—not | save.
4 For when their breath goes from them,
they return a|gain — to the | earth:
and on that | day their | thoughts shall | perish.
5 Blessed are those whose help is the | God of | Jacob:
whose hope is | in the | Lord their | God,
6 The God who made | heaven — and | earth:
the sea | and all | that is | in them,
7 Who | keeps — faith for | ever:
who deals to | those that | are op|pressed.
8 The Lord gives | food — to the | hungry:
and | sets the | captives | free.
9 The Lord gives | sight — to the | blind:
the Lord lifts up | those that | are bowed | down.
10 The Lord | loves the | righteous:
the Lord cares for the | stranger | in the | land.
11 He upholds the widow and the | fa—ther|less:
as for the way of the wicked, he | turns it | upside | down.
12 The lord shall be | king for | ever:
your God, O Zion, shall reign through all gene—rations. | Praise | the | Lord.
