Psalm 1:1–84:12

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

1 Blessed is the man1

who awalks not in bthe counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in cthe way of sinners,

nor dsits in ethe seat of fscoffers;

2 but his gdelight is in the law2 of the Lord,

and on his hlaw he meditates day and night.

3 He is like ia tree

planted by jstreams of water

that yields its fruit in its season,

and its kleaf does not wither.

lIn all that he does, he prospers.

4 The wicked are not so,

but are like mchaff that the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked nwill not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in othe congregation of the righteous;

6 for the Lord pknows qthe way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked will perish.

The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed

2 rWhy do sthe nations rage1

and the peoples plot in vain?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves,

and the rulers take counsel together,

against the Lord and against his tAnointed, saying,

3 “Let us uburst their bonds apart

and cast away their cords from us.”

4 He who vsits in the heavens wlaughs;

the Lord holds them in derision.

5 Then he will speak to them in his xwrath,

and terrify them in his fury, saying,

6 “As for me, I have yset my King

on zZion, my aholy hill.”

7 I will tell of the decree:

The Lord said to me, b“You are my Son;

today I have begotten you.

8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,

and cthe ends of the earth your possession.

9 You shall dbreak2 them with ea rod of iron

and dash them in pieces like fa potter’s vessel.”

10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;

be warned, O rulers of the earth.

11 gServe the Lord with hfear,

and irejoice with htrembling.

12 jKiss kthe Son,

lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,

for his lwrath is quickly kindled.

mBlessed are all who take refuge in him.

Save Me, O My God

3 A Psalm of David, nwhen he fled from Absalom his son.

1 O Lord, ohow many are my foes!

Many are prising against me;

2 many are saying of my soul,

q“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah1

3 But you, O Lord, are ra shield sabout me,

my glory, and tthe lifter of my head.

4 I ucried aloud to the Lord,

and he vanswered me from his wholy hill. Selah

5 I xlay down and slept;

I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.

6 I ywill not be afraid of many thousands of people

who have zset themselves against me all around.

7 aArise, O Lord!

Save me, O my God!

For you bstrike all my enemies on the cheek;

you cbreak the teeth of the wicked.

8 dSalvation belongs to the Lord;

your blessing be on your people! Selah

Answer Me When I Call

4 To the echoirmaster: with estringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

1 Answer me when I call, O God of my frighteousness!

You have ggiven me relief when I was in distress.

Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!

2 O men,1 how long shall my honor be turned into shame?

How long will you love vain words and seek after hlies? Selah

3 But know that the Lord has iset apart jthe godly for himself;

the Lord hears when I call to him.

4 kBe angry,2 and do not sin;

lponder in your own hearts mon your beds, and be silent. Selah

5 Offer nright sacrifices,

and put your otrust in the Lord.

6 There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?

pLift up qthe light of your face upon us, O Lord!”

7 You have put rmore joy in my heart

than they have when their grain and wine abound.

8 In peace I will both slie down and sleep;

for you …

Psalm 12:title–8

The Faithful Have Vanished

12 To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith.1 A Psalm of David.

1 Save, O Lord, for mthe godly one is gone;

for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.

2 Everyone nutters lies to his neighbor;

with oflattering lips and pa double heart they speak.

3 May the Lord cut off all oflattering lips,

the tongue that makes qgreat boasts,

4 those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail,

our lips are with us; who is master over us?”

5 “Because rthe poor are plundered, because the needy groan,

sI will now arise,” says the Lord;

“I will place him in the tsafety for which he longs.”

6 uThe words of the Lord are pure words,

like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,

purified seven times.

7 You, O Lord, will keep them;

you will guard us2 from this generation forever.

8 On every side the wicked prowl,

as vileness is exalted among the children of man.
