Psalms

Psalm 1

¹Day after day my heart is broken, night after night I cry aloud and my tears flow unabated. ²My sins are too numerous to number, and the wickedness of my people is beyond my comprehension. ³My heart is corrupt and beyond renewal, and my nation like the rotting corpse of a beast in the desert. ⁴Woe, woe, woe is me! There is none who can comfort me and I will not be consoled. ⁵We will surely be cast into the depths of Hades, into the very darkness of death, even into oblivion. ⁶Then the angel of the Lord spoke saying, The Spirit of God is in all the earth and sees all things and there is nothing hidden from His eyes. ⁷Behold, the Lord your God has drawn near to you: He drew near in the night and examined your heart, in the darkness He bowed His head and listened to your cries, and He gathered your tears as a witness. ⁸He who formed you knows the evil that dwells in your heart and He knows every desire and intent thereof. ⁹But the Lord is full of compassion and His mercy is from everlasting ages past. The Lord has blotted out your sins and they shall never be found; He has shown you mercy in the day of your distress. ¹⁰Stand, therefore, and hope in the Lord your God, your deliverer and redeemer. ¹¹The Lord has cleansed your heart and renewed your spirit that from now on you should seek and walk in His ways; for by His testimonies shall you keep yourself pure in the inward parts. ¹²Day after day I shall praise the Lord for His mercy and night after night I shall give You thanks.

Psalm 2

¹In you, Oh Abraham, our families are blessed. In all the earth was none like this, the One who gives us all sweet rest and after this eternal bliss. ²From your loins came forth our Savoir and we beheld His grace and favor. 

Psalm 3

¹Your glory, O Lord, is manifested in the entire world and throughout all the ages to every generation as a witness. You alone are the Lord of glory. ²You, O Lord, are my shield and sword; You stand in the way of me enemies to defend me, and You slay them with Your breath.

Psalm 4

¹Oh Lord, my Great Redeemer, I confess to You, O Lord, that I have sinned against You. If I had sinned unintentionally, then I might feel only guilt, but I have sinned wilfully and I am greatly ashamed. ²I do not deserve mercy and You are just to condemn me to death and to the darkness of the grave forever. ³My heart is corrupt and full of wickedness and it surely would have been better if I were never born. For I have scorned your goodness and kindness and despised the precious gift of life. ⁴Your word has convicted me of sin and now I am at my lowest depth; I despise myself and have slumped into the darkest despair. ⁵And yet Your word, O Lord, speaks a word of hope to my dying soul; a word of hope to dispel despair, a word of forgiveness to comfort my soul, a word a love to bring rejoicing to my heart. ⁶Can it be true that You will forgive my sin? Can it be true that You will create a new heart within me? ⁷O Lord, with many tears and inexpressible sounds, I call upon Your name, I call upon Your mercy. Hear me, O Lord, my Great Redeemer.
