    The two ways
    Blessedness belongs to those who delight in God’s law rather than the counsel of the wicked.
    Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence: but his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.

    The dignity of the human person
    God’s glory spans the heavens; yet he cares for mortals and crowns them with honor.
    O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! … When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man that thou art mindful of him?

    The suffering of the just one
    A cry of abandonment that turns toward trust and ends in praise—Christ’s own psalm on the cross.
    My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? … But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence. … All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord.

    The Lord is my shepherd
    The Lord leads, rests, and pursues the soul through green pastures, dark valleys, and the feast.
    The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. He hath set me in a place of pasture. … Yea though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me.

    The Lord is my light
    Confidence in God’s presence when enemies press in and when waiting is long.
    The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? … One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I seek: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

    Thanksgiving for deliverance
    Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes in the morning—praise after God turns mourning.
    I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me. … For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.

    As the deer longs
    Thirst for God when God feels absent; hope commands the soul to remember his help.
    As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; so my soul panteth after thee, O God. … Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

    Miserere — Have mercy
    The classic prayer of repentance: cleanse, renew, and restore a willing spirit.
    Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. … Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my spirit. … A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

    God alone is my rock
    Souls pour out before him; riches and power are weighed as nothing next to his steadfast love.
    Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation. For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more. … God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God, and mercy to thee, O Lord.

    Thirst in the desert
    Early seeking of God; soul clings to him as in a dry land where there is no water.
    O God, my God, to thee do I watch, from before break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways! … My soul shall be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

    How lovely are thy tabernacles
    Pilgrim joy toward God’s dwelling; blessed are those who pass through the valley of tears making it a place of springs.
    How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! … Blessed is the man whose help is from thee … They shall go from virtue to virtue: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

    Under the shadow of the Almighty
    God’s shelter for those who abide in him; angels guard; deliverance is promised to those who love his name.
    He that dwelleth in the aid of the Most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of heaven. … Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.

    Jubilate — All ye lands
    Enter his gates with thanksgiving; know that the Lord he is God and we are his people.

    God forgives, heals, and crowns with kindness; his mercy is from everlasting to everlasting.
    Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name. … Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases. … The Lord is merciful and gracious: patient and plenteous in mercy.

    Gratitude for deliverance
    What shall I render to the Lord for all he has given? The cup of salvation and vows in the assembly.
    I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer. … What shall I render to the Lord for all the things he hath rendered unto me? I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

    Lord, thou hast searched me
    God knows every path and thought; lead me in the everlasting way.
    Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me: thou hast known my sitting down, and my rising up. … If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.

    Let everything praise
    Praise God in his sanctuary; with trumpet, strings, and dance—everything that breathes.
