Encouragement: Psalm 1-50

I will thank you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.
I will be filled with joy because of you.
I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.

But the Lord reigns forever...

The Lord is king forever and ever!

The Lord's promises are pure

All the good things I have are from you [O Lord].

I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever.

I love you, Lord; you are my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the strength of my salvation,
and my stronghold.

Lord, you have brought light to my life;
my God, you light up my darkness.
In your strength I can crush an army;
with my God I can scale any wall.
As for God, his way is perfect.
All the Lord's promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.

The law of the Lord is perfect...
The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy...
The commandments of the Lord are right...
The commands of the Lord are clear...

...there is great reward for those who obey them.

Some nations boast in their armies and weapons,
but we boast in the Lord our God.

...The unfailing love of the Most High will keep
him from stumbling.

We praise you, Lord, for all your glorious power.
With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts.

For the Lord is king!
He rules all the nations.

The Lord is my shepherd;
I have everything I need.

Even though I walk through the dark valley of death,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

Who is the King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, invincible in battle.

Who is the King of glory?
The Lord Almighty-
he is the King of glory.

Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord;
point out the right road for me to follow.

All day long I put my hope in you.

I have taken a stand,
and I will  publicly praise the Lord.

The Lord reigns as king forever.
The Lord gives his people strength.
The Lord blesses them with peace.

O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!

I am overcome with joy because of your unfailing love,
for you have seen my troubles,
and you care about the anguish of my soul.

But I am trusting you, O Lord,
saying, "You are my God!"
My future is in your hands.

Your goodness is so great!

Praise the Lord,
for he has shown me his unfailing love.

For the word of the Lord holds true,
and everything he does is worthy of our trust.

But the Lord's plans stand firm forever;
his intentions can never be shaken.

We depend of the Lord alone to save us.
Only he can help us, protecting us like a shield.

I will praise the Lord at all times.
I will constantly speak his praises.

I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me,
freeing me from all my fears.
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;

He set me free from all my fears.

Taste and see that the Lord is good.
Oh, the joys of those who trust in him!

For you are the fountain of life,
the light by which we see.

Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.

It is better to be godly and have little
than to be evil and possess much.

The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord.
He delights in every detail of their lives.

Don't be impatient for the Lord to act!

I take joy in doing your will, my God,

...The Lord is great!

I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again-
my Savior and my God!

I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again-
my Savior and my God!

You are my King and my God.

God is our refuge and strength

The Lord Almighty is here among us...

For the Lord Most Hight is awesome.
He is the great king of all the earth.

How great is the Lord,

For that is what God is like.
He is our God forever and ever.
and he will be our guide until we die.

"Trust me in your times of trouble,
and I will rescue you,
and you will give me glory."
