God be gracious to us and ^(C1)bless us, And ^(C2)cause His face to shine ^(F1)upon us— Selah

That ^(C1)Your way may be known on the earth, ^(C2)Your salvation among all nations.

May the ^(C1)peoples praise You, God; May all the peoples praise You.

May the ^(C1)nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will ^(C2)judge the peoples with fairness And ^(C3)guide the nations on the earth. Selah

May the ^(C1)peoples praise You, God; May all the peoples praise You.

The ^(C1)earth has yielded its produce; God, our God, ^(C2)blesses us.

God blesses us, ^(F1)So that ^(C1)all the ends of the earth may fear Him.

^(C1)In You, LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be put to shame.

^(C1)In Your righteousness rescue me and save me; ^(C2)Extend Your ear to me and help me.

^(C1)Be to me a rock of ^(C2)dwelling to which I may continually come; You have given the ^(C3)commandment to save me, For You are ^(C4)my rock and my fortress.

^(C1)Save me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, From the ^(F1)grasp of the wrongdoer and the ruthless,

For You are my ^(C1)hope; Lord ^(F1)GOD, You are my ^(C2)confidence from my youth.

I have ^(C1)leaned on You since my birth; You are He who ^(C2)took me from my mother's womb; My ^(C3)praise is continually ^(F1)of You.

I have become a ^(C1)marvel to many, For You are ^(C2)my strong refuge.

My ^(C1)mouth is filled with Your praise And with ^(C2)Your glory all day long.

Do not cast me away at the ^(C1)time of my old age; Do not abandon me when my strength fails.

For my enemies have spoken ^(F1)against me; And those who ^(C1)watch for my ^(F2)life ^(C2)have consulted together,

Saying, "^(C1)God has abandoned him; Pursue and seize him, for there is ^(C2)no one to save him."

God, ^(C1)do not be far from me; My God, ^(C2)hurry to my aid!

May those who are enemies of my soul be ^(C1)put to shame and consumed; May they be ^(C2)covered with disgrace and dishonor, who ^(C3)seek ^(F1)to injure me.

But as for me, I will ^(C1)wait continually, And will ^(F1)(C2)praise You yet more and more.

My ^(C1)mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of ^(C2)Your salvation all day long; For I ^(C3)do not know the art of writing.

I will come ^(C1)with the mighty deeds of the Lord ^(F1)GOD; I will ^(C2)make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

God, You ^(C1)have taught me from my youth, And I still ^(C2)declare Your wondrous deeds.

And even when I am ^(C1)old and gray, God, do not abandon me, Until I ^(C2)declare Your ^(F1)strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.

^(F1)For Your ^(C1)righteousness, God, reaches to the ^(F2)heavens, You who have ^(C2)done great things; God, ^(C3)who is like You?

You who have ^(C1)shown ^(F1)me many troubles and distresses Will ^(C2)revive ^(F1)me again, And will bring ^(F1)me up again ^(C3)from the depths of the earth.

May You increase my ^(C1)greatness And turn to ^(C2)comfort me.

I will also praise You with ^(F1)(C1)a harp, And Your ^(F2)truth, my God; I will sing praises to You with the ^(C2)lyre, ^(C3)Holy One of Israel.

My lips will ^(C1)shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my ^(C2)soul, which You have redeemed.

My ^(C1)tongue also will tell of Your righteousness all day long; For they are ^(C2)put to shame, for they are humiliated who seek ^(F1)my harm.
