Who can comprehend the power of
your anger?
Your wrath is as awesome as the fear
you deserve.
Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom.

O Lord, come back to us!
How long will you delay?
Take pity on your servants!
Satisfy us each morning with your
unfailing love,
so we may sing for joy to the end of
our lives.
Give us gladness in proportion to our
former misery!
Replace the evil years with good.
Let us, your servants, see you work again;
let our children see your glory.
And may the Lord our God show us his
approval
and make our efforts successful.
Yes, make our efforts successful!

Those who live in the shelter of the
Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the
Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor
and protection.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
Do not dread the disease that stalks in
darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying
around you,
these evils will not touch you.
Just open your eyes,
and see how the wicked are punished.
1
If you make the Lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your home.
For he will order his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands
so you won’t even hurt your foot on
a stone.
You will trample upon lions and cobras;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents
under your feet!
The Lord says, “I will rescue those who
love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
I will reward them with a long life
and give them my salvation.”
— promises —
from God
For he will order his
angels to protect you
wherever you go.

A psalm. A song to be sung on the
Sabbath Day.
It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to the Most High.
It is good to proclaim your unfailing love
in the morning,
your faithfulness in the evening,
accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument,
a harp,
and the melody of a lyre.
You thrill me, Lord, with all you have
done for me!
I sing for joy because of what you
have done.
O Lord, what great works you do!
And how deep are your thoughts.
Only a simpleton would not know,
and only a fool would not understand
this:
Though the wicked sprout like weeds
and evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever.
Your enemies, Lord, will surely perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
But you have made me as strong as a
wild ox.
You have anointed me with the finest oil.
My eyes have seen the downfall of my
enemies;
my ears have heard the defeat of my
wicked opponents.
But the godly will flourish like palm trees
and grow strong like the cedars of
Lebanon.
For they are transplanted to the Lord’s
own house.
They flourish in the courts of our God.
Even in old age they will still produce fruit;
they will remain vital and green.
