Psalms Level 1

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack!

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God?

Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

The LORD is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works.

The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
