Psalms 19
1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. 2Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. 3Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard, 4their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun. 5Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course, 6it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth. 7The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple. 8The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. 9The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous. 10They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. 11By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward. 12Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults. 13Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression. 14May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Psalms 20
1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. 2May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion. 3May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. Selah 4May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed. 5May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions. 6Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand. 7Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. 8They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. 9O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
Psalms 21
1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation! 2You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah 3For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold. 4He asked You for life, and You granted it— length of days, forever and ever. 5Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty. 6For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence. 7For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken. 8Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You. 9You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them. 10You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men. 11Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail. 12For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them. 13Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.
