Psalm 3
A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.

1 Lord, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
2 Many are saying of me,
“God will not deliver him.”[b]
3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
4 I call out to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.
5 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
6 I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.
7 Arise, Lord!
Deliver me, my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.
8 From the Lord comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people.

Psalm 118

1Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

2Let Israel say:
“His love endures forever.”

3Let the house of Aaron say:
“His love endures forever.”

4Let those who fear the Lord say:
“His love endures forever.”

5When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord;
he brought me into a spacious place.

6The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?

7The Lord is with me; he is my helper.
I look in triumph on my enemies.

8It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in humans.

9It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.

10All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

11They surrounded me on every side,
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

12They swarmed around me like bees,
but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns;
in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

13I was pushed back and about to fall,
but the Lord helped me.

14The Lord is my strength and my defensea ;
he has become my salvation.

15Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous:
“The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!

16The Lord’s right hand is lifted high;
the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!”

17I will not die but live,
and will proclaim what the Lord has done.

18The Lord has chastened me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.

19Open for me the gates of the righteous;
I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.

20This is the gate of the Lord
through which the righteous may enter.

21I will give you thanks, for you answered me;
you have become my salvation.

22The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;

23the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.

24The Lord has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.

25Lord, save us!
Lord, grant us success!

26Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
From the house of the Lord we bless you.b

27The Lord is God,
and he has made his light shine on us.
With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession
up to the horns of the altar.

28You are my God, and I will praise you;
you are my God, and I will exalt you.

29Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

1 You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire[a]
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 “I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[b];
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
