Psalm 50 : 3-4, 5-6a, 18-19
Have mercy on me, o God, in Your love. In Your great compassion blot out my sin. Wash me thoroughly of my guilt; cleanse me of evil.
For I acknowledge my wrongdoings and have my sins ever in mind. Against You alone, have I sinned.
You take no pleasure in sacrifice; were I to give a burnt offering, You would not delight in it. O God, my sacrifice is a broken spirit; a contrite heart, You will not despise.

Psalm 1 : 1-2, 3, 4 and 6
Blessed is the man who does not go where the wicked gather, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit where the scoffers sit! Instead, he finds delight in the Law of YHVH and meditates day and night on His commandments.
He is like a tree beside a brook producing its fruit in due season, its leaves never withering. Everything he does is a success.
But it is different with the wicked. They are like chaff driven away by the wind. For YHVH knows the way of the righteous but cuts off the way of the wicked.

Psalm 50 : 3-4, 5-6a, 12-13, 14 and 17
Have mercy on me, o God, in Your love. In Your great compassion blot out my sin. Wash me thoroughly of my guilt; cleanse me of evil.
For I acknowledge my wrongdoings and have my sins ever in mind. Against You alone have I sinned; what is evil in Your sight I have done.
Create in me, o God, a pure heart; give me a new and steadfast spirit. Do not cast me out of Your presence nor take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Give me again the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit. O Lord, open my lips, and I will declare Your praise.

Psalm 49 : 5-6, 7-8, 14 and 23
Gather before Me My faithful ones, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice. The heavens will proclaim His sentence, for God Himself is the Judge.
Hear, o My people, for I am speaking. I will accuse You, o Israel, I am God, your God! Not for your sacrifices do I reprove you, for your burnt offerings are ever before Me.
Yet offer to God a sacrifice of thanks, and fulfil your vows to the Most High. Those who give with thanks offerings honour Me, but the one who walks blamelessly, I will show him the salvation of God.

Psalm 31 : 1-2, 5, 6, 7
Blessed is the one whose sin is forgiven, whose iniquity is wiped away. Blessed are those in whom the Lord sees no guilt and in whose spirit is found no deceit.
Then I made known to You my sin and uncovered before You my fault, saying to myself, “To the Lord I will now confess my wrong.” And You, You forgave my sin, You removed my guilt.
So let the faithful ones pray to You in time of distress; the overflowing waters will not reach them.
You are my refuge; You protect me from distress and surround me with songs of deliverance.

Psalm 91 : 2-3, 13-14, 15-16
It is good to give thanks to YHVH, to sing praise to Your Name, o Most High, to proclaim Your grace in the morning, to declare Your faithfulness at night.
The virtuous will flourish, like palm trees, they will thrive, like the cedars of Lebanon. Planted in the house of YHVH, they will prosper, in the courts of our God.
In old age, they will still bear fruit; they will stay fresh and green, to proclaim that YHVH is upright, “He is my Rock,” they say, “He never fails.”

Psalm 102 : 13-14, 15-16, 17-18a
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows how we are formed, He remembers that we are dust.
The days of mortals are like grass; they bloom like a flower of the field; but the wind passes over it, and it is gone, his field will not see him again.
But the Lord’s kindness is forever with those who fear Him; so is His justice, for their children’s children, for those who keep His covenant and remember His commands.

Psalm 118 : 12, 16, 18, 27, 34, 35
Praise to You, o Lord; instruct me in Your statutes, that with my lips I may declare all Your spoken decrees.
In Your laws I will rejoice and will not neglect Your words.
Open my eyes that I may see the marvellous truths in Your law.
Explain to me all Your ordinances, and I will meditate on Your wondrous deeds.
Give me understanding, that I may observe Your law with all my heart.
Guide me in obeying Your instructions, for my pleasure lies in them.

Psalm 118 : 165, 168, 171, 172, 174, 175
Lovers of Your Law have found great peace; nothing can make them stumble, not even distress.
I obey Your precepts and Your decrees; my ways are always before You.
Let my lips overflow with praise, for You teach me Your decrees.
Let my tongue sing of Your good news, for all You say is true.
I long for Your salvation, o YHVH; I delight in Your Law.
Long may I live, to sing Your praise, may Your ordinances always be my help!
