In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me.

My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.

He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity.

By your hand save me from such people, Lord, from those of this world whose reward is in this life. May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies; may their children gorge themselves on it, and may there be leftovers for their little ones.

In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.

I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.

You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.

foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.

Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.

From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows.

All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him,

All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him— those who cannot keep themselves alive.

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

Psalm 24

Of David. A psalm.

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;

Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him.

Psalm 34

Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left.

I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away;

Psalm 36

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord.

I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.

You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure.

Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again before I depart and am no more.”

You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.
