Such people will not be overcome by evil.
Those who are righteous will be long
remembered.
They do not fear bad news;
they confidently trust the Lord to care
for them.
They are confident and fearless
and can face their foes triumphantly.
They share freely and give generously to
those in need.
Their good deeds will be remembered
forever.
They will have influence and honor.
The wicked will see this and be infuriated.
They will grind their teeth in anger;
they will slink away, their hopes
thwarted.

Praise the Lord!
Yes, give praise, O servants
of the Lord.
Praise the name of the Lord!
Blessed be the name of the Lord
now and forever.
Everywhere—from east to west—
praise the name of the Lord.
For the Lord is high above the nations;
his glory is higher than the heavens.
Who can be compared with the Lord
our God,
who is enthroned on high?
He stoops to look down
on heaven and on earth.
He lifts the poor from the dust
and the needy from the garbage dump.
He sets them among princes,
even the princes of his own people!
He gives the childless woman a family,
making her a happy mother.
Praise the Lord!

When the Israelites escaped
from Egypt—
when the family of Jacob left that foreign
land—
the land of Judah became God’s sanctuary,
and Israel became his kingdom.

The Red Sea* saw them coming and hurried
out of their way!
The water of the Jordan River turned away.
The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs!
What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you
hurry out of their way?
What happened, Jordan River, that you
turned away?
Why, mountains, did you skip like rams?
Why, hills, like lambs?
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob.
He turned the rock into a pool of water;
yes, a spring of water flowed from
solid rock.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to your name goes all
the glory
for your unfailing love and faithfulness.
Why let the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
Our God is in the heavens,
and he does as he wishes.
Their idols are merely things of silver
and gold,
shaped by human hands.
They have mouths but cannot speak,
and eyes but cannot see.
They have ears but cannot hear,
and noses but cannot smell.
They have hands but cannot feel,
and feet but cannot walk,
and throats but cannot make a sound.
And those who make idols are just like them,
as are all who trust in them.

O Israel, trust the Lord!
He is your helper and your shield.
O priests, descendants of Aaron,
trust the Lord!
He is your helper and your shield.
All you who fear the Lord, trust the Lord!
He is your helper and your shield.
The Lord remembers us and will bless us.
He will bless the people of Israel
and bless the priests, the descendants
of Aaron.
He will bless those who fear the Lord,
both great and lowly.
May the Lord richly bless
both you and your children.
May you be blessed by the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
The heavens belong to the Lord,
but he has given the earth to all humanity.
The dead cannot sing praises to the Lord,
for they have gone into the silence of
the grave.
But we can praise the Lord
both now and forever!
Praise the Lord!

I love the Lord because he hears
my voice
and my prayer for mercy.
Because he bends down to listen,
I will pray as long as I have breath!
