^(C1)Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and ^(C2)answer me.

When You said, "^(C1)Seek My face," my heart said to You, "^(C2)I shall seek Your face, LORD."

^(C1)Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant away in ^(C2)anger; You have been ^(C3)my help; ^(C4)Do not abandon me nor ^(C5)forsake me, God of my salvation!

^(F1)For my father and ^(C1)my mother have forsaken me, But ^(C2)the LORD will take me up.

^(C1)Teach me Your way, LORD, And lead me on a ^(C2)level path Because of my enemies.

Do not turn me over to the ^(F1)(C1)desire of my enemies, For ^(C2)false witnesses have risen against me, And the violent ^(C3)witness.

I certainly believed that I would see the ^(C1)goodness of the LORD In the ^(C2)land of the living.

^(C1)Wait for the LORD; Be ^(C2)strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.

To You, LORD, I call; My ^(C1)rock, do not be deaf to me, For if You ^(C2)are silent to me, I will become like those who ^(C3)go down to the pit.

Hear the ^(C1)sound of my pleadings when I cry to You for help, When I ^(C2)raise my hands ^(C3)toward ^(F1)Your holy ^(C4)sanctuary.

^(C1)Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who practice injustice, Who ^(C2)speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts.

Give back to them ^(C1)according to their work and according to the evil of their practices; Give back to them according to the work of their hands; Repay them what is due them.

Because they ^(C1)do not regard the works of the LORD Nor the deeds of His hands, He will tear them down and not build them up.

Blessed be the LORD, Because He ^(C1)has heard the sound of my pleading.

The LORD is my ^(C1)strength and my ^(C2)shield; My heart ^(C3)trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore ^(C4)my heart triumphs, And with ^(C5)my song I shall thank Him.

The LORD is ^(F1)their ^(C1)strength, And He is a refuge of ^(C2)salvation to His anointed.

^(C1)Save Your people and bless ^(C2)Your inheritance; Be their ^(C3)shepherd also, and ^(C4)carry them forever.

^(C1)Ascribe to the LORD, ^(F1)sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory ^(F1)due His name; Worship the LORD ^(C1)in holy attire.

The ^(C1)voice of the LORD is on the waters; The God of glory ^(C2)thunders, The LORD is over ^(F1)(C3)many waters.

The voice of the LORD is ^(C1)powerful, The voice of the LORD is majestic.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; Yes, the LORD breaks ^(C1)the cedars of Lebanon in pieces.

He makes Lebanon ^(C1)skip like a calf, And ^(C2)Sirion like a young wild ox.

The voice of the LORD divides ^(F1)flames of fire.

The voice of the LORD ^(F1)shakes the wilderness; The LORD shakes the wilderness of ^(C1)Kadesh.

The voice of the LORD makes ^(C1)the deer give birth And strips the forests bare; And ^(C2)in His temple everything says, "Glory!"

The LORD sat as King at the ^(C1)flood; Yes, the LORD sits as ^(C2)King forever.

^(F1)The LORD will give ^(C1)strength to His people; ^(F2)The LORD will bless His people with ^(C2)peace.

I will ^(C1)exalt You, LORD, for You have ^(C2)lifted me up, And have not let my ^(C3)enemies rejoice over me.

LORD my God, I ^(C1)cried to You for help, and You ^(C2)healed me.

LORD, You have ^(C1)brought up my soul from ^(F1)Sheol; You have kept me alive, ^(F2)that I would not ^(C2)go down to the pit.

^(C1)Sing praise to the LORD, you ^(C2)His godly ones, And ^(C3)praise the mention of His holiness.

For ^(C1)His anger is but for a moment, His ^(C2)favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may ^(C3)last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, "I will ^(C1)never be moved."

LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong; You ^(C1)hid Your face, I was dismayed.

To You, LORD, I called, And to the Lord I pleaded for compassion:

"What gain is there in my blood, if I ^(C1)go down to the pit? Will the ^(C2)dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

"^(C1)Hear, LORD, and be gracious to me; LORD, be my ^(C2)helper."

You have turned ^(C1)my mourning into dancing for me; You have ^(C2)untied my sackcloth and encircled me with ^(C3)joy,

That my ^(F1)(C1)soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. LORD my God, I will ^(C2)give thanks to You forever.

^(C1)In You, LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never ^(C2)be ^(F1)put to shame; ^(C3)In Your righteousness rescue me.

^(C1)Incline Your ear to me, rescue me quickly; Be a ^(C2)rock of ^(F1)strength for me, A ^(F2)stronghold to save me.

For You are my rock and ^(C1)my fortress; For the ^(C2)sake of Your name You will lead me and guide me.

You will ^(C1)pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my ^(C2)strength.

^(C1)Into Your hand I entrust my spirit; You have ^(C2)redeemed me, LORD, ^(C3)God of ^(F1)truth.
