Oh, wha joy for whose who disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!

When I confused to confess my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long. Day and night Your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.

Finally, I confessed all my sins to You and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself,’I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.’ And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.

Therefore, let all the godly pray to You while there its still time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment. For You are my hiding place; You protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory.

The Lord says, ‘I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or muscle that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.’

Many sorrows over come the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust in the Lord. So rejoice in the Lord and be glad, all you who obey Him! Shout for joy all you whose heart are pure!”

“O Lord, I have come to you for protection; do’t let me be disgraced. Save me, for You do what is right. Turn Your ear to listen to me; rescue me quickly. Be my rock or protection, a fortress where I will be safe. You are my rock and my fortress. For the honor of Your name, lead me our of this danger. Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me, I entrust my spirit into Your hand. Rescue me, Lord, for You are a faithful God.

Love the Lord, all you godly ones! For the Lord protects those who are loyal to Him, but He harshly punishes the arrogant. So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord!” (Psalm 31, 1-5, 23-24, NLT)

“I will exalt you, Lord, for You rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me. O Lord, my God, I cried out to You for help, and You restored my health. You brought me up from the grave, O Lord. You kept me from fall into the pit of death.

Sing unto the Lord, all you godly ones! Praise His Holy name. For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.

You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to You and not be silent.

O Lord, my God, I will give thanks to You forever!” (Psalm 30: 1-5, 11-12, NLT)

“Honor the Lord, you heavenly beings, honor the Lord for His glory and strength. Honor the Lord for the glory of His name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness.

The voice of the Lord echoes above the sea. The God of glory thunders. The Lord thunders over the mighty sea. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic. The voice of the Lord splits the might cedars; the Lord shatters the cedars Lebanon. He makes Lebanon’s mountains skip like a young wild ox.

The voice of the Lord strikes with bolds of lightning. The voice of the Lord makes the barren wilderness quake; the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord twists might oaks and strips the forests bare. In His Temple every shouts, ‘Glory!’

“Declare me innocent, O Lord, for I have acted with integrity; I have trusted in the Lord without wavering. Put me on trial, Lord, and cross-examine me. Test memories and my heart.

For I am always aware of Your unfailing love, and I have lived to Your truth. I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites. I hate gatherings o those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked.

I wash my hands to declare my innocence. I came to your alter, O Lord, singing a song of thanksgiving and tell al Your wonders. I love Your sanctuary, Lord, the place where Your glorious presence dwells.

Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners. Don’t condemn me wrong with murders. Their hands are dirty with evil schemes, and they constantly take bribes. But I am not like that; I live with integrity. So redeem me and shoe me mercy. No I sand on solid ground, and I publicly praise the Lord.”

“O Lord, I give my life to you. I trust in you, my God! Do not let me be disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat. No one who trusts in You will ever be disgraced, but disgraced comes to those who try to deceive others.

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by Your truth and teach me, for You are the God who saves Me. All day Lon I put my hope in You. Remember, O Lord, you compassion and unfailing love, which You have shown for long ages past. Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. remember me in the light of Your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O Lord.

He leads the humble in doing right, teach them His way. The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep His covenant and obey His demands.

They will receive the Lord’s blessing and have a right relationship with God their savior. Such people may seek you and worship you in your presence, O God of Jacob.
