The leader’s. With strings. A composition. David’s.

When I call, answer me,
my faithful God!
Under pressure you widened me;
be gracious to me and listen to my plea!

You people, how long will the one I honour be for shaming,
will you be loyal to something empty, will you seek a lie? (Rise)
So acknowledge that Yahweh has distinguished the committed person for himself; Yahweh is the one who listens when I call to him.
Tremble and don’t do wrong;
say it in your heart on your bed and be quiet. (Rise)
Offer faithful sacrifices, and put your confidence in Yahweh.

Increased numbers of people are saying,
‘Who will enable us to see good fortune?
– the light of your face has fled from upon us, Yahweh.’

You’ve put rejoicing in my heart
from the time when their grain and their new wine has increased.
In well-being I will lie down and sleep, all at once,
because you alone are Yahweh;
you enable me to live in confidence.

O Lord Jesus Christ,
stay beside me to defend me,
within me to guide me,
before me to lead me,
and above me to bless me,
that with you and in you,
I may live, and move and have my being,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Happy are those
    who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
or take the path that sinners tread,
    or sit in the seat of scoffers;
but their delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and on his law they meditate day and night.
They are like trees
    planted by streams of water,
which yield their fruit in its season,
    and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.

The wicked are not so,
    but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement,
    nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
for the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked will perish.

God be in head and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes and in my looking;
God be in my mouth and in my speaking;
God be in my heart and in my thinking;
God be at my end and at my departing.
