8 The statutes of the Lord _are_ right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord _is_ pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord _is_ clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord _are_ true _and_ righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired _are they_ than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: _and_ in keeping of them _there is_ great reward. 12 Who can understand _his_ errors? cleanse thou me from secret _faults_. 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous _sins_; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalm 23 1 The Lord _is_ my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou _art_ with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 43 1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. 2 For thou _art_ the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. 4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. 5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, _who is_ the health of my countenance, and my God. Psalm 46 1 God _is_ our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 _Though_ the waters thereof roar _and_ be troubled, _though_ the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 4 _There is_ a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy _place_ of the tabernacles of the most High. 5 God _is_ in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, _and that_ right early. 6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 7 The Lord of hosts _is_ with us; the God of Jacob _is_ our refuge. Selah.
