Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the one
    who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
    or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
    which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers.

4 Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff
    that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

  Psalm 141 A psalm of David. 1  I call to you,  Lord , come quickly to me;      hear me when I call to you. 2  May my prayer be set before you like incense;      may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. 3  Set a guard over my mouth,  Lord ;      keep watch over the door of my lips. 4  Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil      so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers;      do not let me eat their delicacies. 5  Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness;      let him rebuke me—that is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it,      for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers. 6  Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs,      and the wicked will learn that my words were well spok...

  Psalm 3 1  Lord , how many are my foes!      How many rise up against me! 2  Many are saying of me,      “God will not deliver him.” [ b ] 3  But you,  Lord , are a shield around me,      my glory, the One who lifts my head high. 4  I call out to the  Lord ,      and he answers me from his holy mountain. 5  I lie down and sleep;      I wake again, because the  Lord  sustains me. 6  I will not fear though tens of thousands      assail me on every side. 7  Arise,  Lord !      Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw;      break the teeth of the wicked. 8  From the  Lord  comes deliverance.      May your blessing be on your people.

  Psalm 91 1  Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High      will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [ a ] 2  I will say of the  Lord , “He is my refuge and my fortress,      my God, in whom I trust.” 3  Surely he will save you      from the fowler’s snare      and from the deadly pestilence. 4  He will cover you with his feathers,      and under his wings you will find refuge;      his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5  You will not fear the terror of night,      nor the arrow that flies by day, 6  nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,      nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7  A thousand may fall at your side,      ten thousand at your right hand,      but it will not come near you. 8...
