Psalm 23

¹The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

²He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters;

³he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake.

⁴Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff— they comfort me.

⁵You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.

Psalm 27

¹The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

²When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh— my adversaries and foes— they shall stumble and fall.

³Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident.

⁴One thing I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.

⁵For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock.

⁶Now my head is lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord.

⁷Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me!

⁸“Come,” my heart says, “seek his face!” Your face, Lord, do I seek.

⁹Do not hide your face from me. Do not turn your servant away in anger, you who have been my help. Do not cast me off, do not forsake me, O God of my salvation!

¹⁰If my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up.

¹¹Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.

¹²Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen against me, and they are breathing out violence.

¹³I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

¹⁴Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!

Psalm 75

¹We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks; your name is near. People tell of your wondrous deeds.

²At the set time that I appoint I will judge with equity.

³When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants, it is I who keep its pillars steady. Selah

⁴I say to the boastful, “Do not boast,” and to the wicked, “Do not lift up your horn;

⁵do not lift up your horn on high, or speak with insolent neck.”

⁶For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;

⁷but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another.

⁸For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup with foaming wine, well mixed; he will pour a draught from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs.

⁹But I will rejoice forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Psalm 76

¹In Judah God is known, his name is great in Israel.

²His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.

³There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

⁴Glorious are you, more majestic than the everlasting mountains.

⁵The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; none of the troops was able to lift a hand.

⁶At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned.

⁷But you indeed are awesome! Who can stand before you when once your anger is roused?

⁸From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still

⁹when God rose up to establish judgment, to save all the oppressed of the earth. Selah

¹⁰Human wrath serves only to praise you, when you bind the last bit of your wrath around you.

¹¹Make vows to the Lord your God, and perform them; let all who are around him bring gifts to the one who is awesome,

¹²who cuts off the spirit of princes, who inspires fear in the kings of the earth.
