1:2 Instead he finds pleasure in obeying the Lord’s commands;
he meditates on his commands day and night.
18:16 He reached down from above and took hold of me;
he pulled me from the surging water.
18:50 He gives his chosen king magnificent victories;
he is faithful to his chosen ruler,
to David and his descendants forever.”
23:3 He restores my strength.
He leads me down the right paths
for the sake of his reputation.
34:4 I sought the Lord’s help and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
36:3 The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful;
he does not care about doing what is wise and right.
41:8 They say,
‘An awful disease overwhelms him,
and now that he is bed-ridden he will never recover.’
47:4 He picked out for us a special land
to be a source of pride for Jacob, whom he loves. (Selah)
49:17 For he will take nothing with him when he dies;
his wealth will not follow him down into the grave.
49:18 He pronounces this blessing on himself while he is alive:
“May men praise you, for you have done well!”
50:4 He summons the heavens above,
as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people.
55:22 Throw your burden upon the Lord,
and he will sustain you.
He will never allow the godly to be upended.
66:7 He rules by his power forever;
he watches the nations.
Stubborn rebels should not exalt themselves. (Selah)
72:4 He will defend the oppressed among the people;
he will deliver the children of the poor
and crush the oppressor.
72:13 He will take pity on the poor and needy;
the lives of the needy he will save.
78:13 He divided the sea and led them across it;
he made the water stand in a heap.
78:52 Yet he brought out his people like sheep;
he led them through the wilderness like a flock.
78:69 He made his sanctuary as enduring as the heavens above;
as secure as the earth, which he established permanently.
99:7 He spoke to them from a pillar of cloud;
they obeyed his regulations and the ordinance he gave them.
102:23 He has taken away my strength in the middle of life;
he has cut short my days.
103:10 He does not deal with us as our sins deserve;
he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve.
104:2 He covers himself with light as if it were a garment.
He stretches out the skies like a tent curtain,
104:32 He looks down on the earth and it shakes;
he touches the mountains and they start to smolder.
107:20 He sent them an assuring word and healed them;
he rescued them from the pits where they were trapped.
107:38 He blessed them so that they became very numerous.
He would not allow their cattle to decrease in number.
107:40 He would pour contempt upon princes,
and he made them wander in a wasteland with no road.
109:7 When he is judged, he will be found guilty!
Then his prayer will be regarded as sinful.
109:16 For he never bothered to show kindness;
he harassed the oppressed and needy,
and killed the disheartened.
110:5 O sovereign Lord, at your right hand
he strikes down kings in the day he unleashes his anger.
111:6 He announced that he would do mighty deeds for his people,
giving them a land that belonged to other nations.
111:9 He delivered his people;
he ordained that his covenant be observed forever.
His name is holy and awesome.
112:8 His resolve is firm; he will not succumb to fear
before he looks in triumph on his enemies.
135:6 He does whatever he pleases
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all the ocean depths.
145:19 He satisfies the desire of his loyal followers;
he hears their cry for help and delivers them.
147:16 He sends the snow that is white like wool;
he spreads the frost that is white like ashes.
